If there’s ever a time for a giveaway, this is definitely it. With a boatload of folks stuck inside, any bit of gadgetry cheer I can help usher in your general direction is a good. Plus, this post helps buy me a few more hours time to finish adding a couple of words to my nearly 11,000+ word long 2020 Indoor Trainer App Guide (you can see a sneak peek of it on my Instagram Stories). So whatever the reason – it’s time for a giveaway.
The winner will get a $500 credit to CleverTraining.com, my most excellent partner in this giveaway effort. By supporting the site through Clever Training you also can save 10% on basically anything they sell (or get points instead that are kinda like cash). If you win, you can use that credit for anything from a new trainer to a new watch. Or perhaps a new GoPro to properly document your backyard adventures, or simply new shoes to keep pacing around your living room.
In fact, with the current 20% off sale on smart trainers and related accessories, it’ll also cover a number of trainers that are now down to even $399 – sweet! Whatever floats your boat and keeps you happy (Note: While they don’t technically sell boats, they do sell stand-up paddleboards…which, are kinda like boats. And that also helps with social distancing. Just sail/paddle away!).
How to enter:
Simply leave a short description of the last workout you’ve managed while properly social distancing. It’s as simple as that!
The reason you need a short description of ‘why’ is that if you just put a simple one-word answer (i.e. ‘Walk’), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters. And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM, especially if you’re pulling that can out of your hoarded stash. Got all that? Good.
Good luck!
The giveaway entry period will run through Sunday, March 29th, 2020 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time. Winner will be selected randomly. One entry per person. The selected product/products will then be ordered immediately and shipped immediately, assuming they’re in stock. Anyone in the world may enter, there’s no limitations there. However, some products can’t be shipped internationally – though most can.

Being stuck at home, I was able to enjoy a nice fun training with my two boys in our improvised home gym (treadmill, elliptical and a small bench). We actually had lots of fun working out together!

90 min of over underage on trainer road, the worst jerry, THE WORST!
Did a Road to Ruins route on Zwift. No one nearby except for the cats.
Headed into the woods on my MTB for an hour to take my mind off things.
1 hour trainer ride followed by 30 minute run at half marathon pace.
Tour of Watopia stage 4 long ride, it was a grind!
Tried out a fixie for almost two miles, always wanted to try one out…
Zoom CrossFit work this morning!
Joined a Zwift groupride organised by a local Conti-Team and the National Champ of my country also happened to stop by (who has been riding for a world tour team for a few years now) since he knows some of the guys, racing started and they obviously left me and lots of other guys in the dust. Was super fun nevertheless, 10/10 would do again!
I went for a nice 10 km run in the forest.
I`m infected with the popular virus now, so my activity is: bed –>toilet –> bed :)
Managed a 20k cycle in my lunch break while social distancing in centennial park. Gets hard to socially distance before and after work there!
Took a 30 mile ride today with 1 co-worker, we did a good job of not drafting and keeping our distance
I did a 14 minutes HIIT workout session at home since our government doesn’t allow any form of exercise outdoors. I miss running and cycling. Sigh…
30’/6k run around my desert neighborhood.
Road a trainer in my garage this afternoon. Easy 28 miles
I did a zoom workout with the gym!

Ride on Zwift, 60 min full gas :)
I went for a run this morning.
A short ride (b/c I have the last vestiges of a head cold) to Tilden Park. My turn around point was El Toyonal, where I get watch happy horses frolic for a bit in the spring sunshine. And I avoided my normal stop point (one the sixty million places named Inspiration Point) b/c of the too many people taking advantage of the one opening in our shelter in place rules–exercise!
Tour of Watopia! Zwift has been a life saver since beta. It has allowed me to make up a lost ride from poor scheduling on my part, to my stage 4 ride a couple of days ago. ??
Easy:
Went out cycling earlier today with my pup, Spyder, for 75 minutes. Didn’t come within 10 feet of a human!
A TrainerRoad workout in the shed. It was 30C outside and I had the fans running hard. If only there was a way to do group workouts using TrainerRoad. ?
Outdoor ride 14k on my roadbike.
Sprints in the backyard.
Neighbors think I’m nuts.
Gentle walk around the local woods – early in the morning to avoid everyone else
Punishing the erg in my living room – the noise ensures social distancing any day.
My last workout was my usual 20 mile (one way) route to and from work on Friday. Unfortunately, my route takes me through a public park, and the lack of social distancing taking place in the park leaves me to commute by car now. I work in a research institute, and we are considered essential.
Socially distant on Zwift!
I twisted my ankle something fierce on a trail run last Saturday, and had to hobble 2.5 miles back to the car.
Some running ABC with kids in the garden. With my own kids that is :)
Nursing a slight back injury so my last workout was a hour walk to, around and back from my local park.

Zwifting…Tour of Watopia Leg 5
Just walking in circles in my backyard
Last saturday I went cycling. A strong and cold wind was blowing from the north. But the sun was shining and it was doable to keep 1,5 meters distance from other people. Felt good to be outside, in the fresh air.
Hey club running session (solo) 2 x 6 min 90 sec rec then 16 x 30 sec on 30 sec off – reach for the bucket at the end!
Love to win this

8km run at 6am on a route less travelled
Been swifting a lot the last couple of months and doing only a few solo rides outside… But as the time comes i want a new garmin watch or power meter, so i can track my performance even better.
I went for a stroller jog with my two kiddos in the double Bob. Hard work pushing 60+ lb of toddler and preschooler!
Longtime TrainerRoad user recently decided to give Zwift another go. Enjoying it so far!
Every other day running up to 25km outside with only cows and horses around and the day in between indoor or outdoor cycling with the same companions outdoor, indoor my e-reader and music. Just keep motivation high and focus on the the next goal (competition) will see if it will take place, if not change focus on the next one. Never give up in difficult circumstances.
PT exercises for ITBS
No specifics this time, just like to win to go for DD trainer… Fingers crossed and no matter the outcome… Ride on ?
Ho that’s a double, please remove… or the other one if this turns out to be the winner ;)
Cycling in the back yard, interrupted three times by:
a) the neighbour asking how far I’d gone to which I said I’d stayed right there
b) my wife asking how long I was going to be
c) my son telling me his little sister had done a poo in her nappy
Each was during a sprint interval
Run with the kids in the “truck stroller”
My last workout was a bike ride after work. I miss going out on my bike, but hey, I guess the trainer season is here to stay.
A quick ride on my trainer while taking a break from working (from home).
Went out exploring our new neighborhood for the running routes.
I carried hay to the hay ring for the horses. Does that count?
Fast intervals on a treadmill!
Last workout was 10,000 meters on my indoor rower. The GPS track is not very interesting. But would love an upgrade to my elderly Suunto Ambit to motivate me toward more outdoor adventures. Thanks for the chance.

I got a 30 mile ride in 3 hours before the lockdown
I’m been doing workouts most days indoors using either TrainerRoad or Zwift with the Kick’r and Climb. I’ve been waiting to get outside for months now, and it just isn’t happening.
Did a run around the neighborhood with my daughter (6 feet away).
Just a Step session…. my reign for a trainer! :)
Let’s do this! Time to get in some distancing by putting some distance down on the pavement!
Ran back and forth to the cookie jar while on a video conference. Does that count?
Just some walks right now..but I can see what I would buy with that giveaway !
Hard 5k run outside
Zwift. Bike and treadmill. Whole family is involved.
Last workout… Wahoo kickr, zwift, volacano circuit. (I like the joke about zwift races being cancelled because someone’s avatar was found to be positive for COVID-19)
Yesterday, in my basement, on my trainer. Cat’s don’t count for social distancing, right?
