Today’s Easter. And even if you don’t celebrate Easter, you can instead celebrate the chocolate bunny…or, as is apparently also the case here in France – the chocolate chicken (and, even an odd rash of Chocolate Nemo’s I’ve seen too).
Failing your celebration of any of those things…then how about just celebrating a gadget giveaway? Simple and good, right?
Last month y’all loved the ‘you choose’ aspect of the giveaway. Meaning that I let you choose which gadget you want to win. Yup, if you want that Wahoo RFLKT- it’s yours! If you want the Garmin FR610 – same thing. Or the latest Timex, Polar and CycleOps creations. Whatever fits your training best (up to $500US), I’m giving it to ya. Technically, I suppose Clever Training is giving it to you. (Btw, for those curious, last month’s winner selected the FR910XT with heart rate strap.)
So I’ve got you covered on pretty much whatever you want. Unless you want a chocolate bunny. In which case, you can pretty much go to the grocery store tomorrow and pay about 50% less than I paid for it Saturday. And perhaps your chocolate bunny won’t look quite as menacing as my chocolat lapin looks.
To enter yourself in, simply leave a comment below with the following:
“Let me know which workout you’ll be doing in an attempt to override any Easter-associated candy that may be consumed. If for some completely unexplainable reason you aren’t biting the head off of a chocolate bunny, feel free to just pick your Sunday workout (or nearest completed workout). Extra points for listing the Easter candy that put you in this predicament.”
Got it?

60 min lsd follow by 3k swim
60 pools and hour of cycling yesterday (as the warmup for), 130min of running @140BPM today, complex gym workout on Monday and hooray to Cape Verde on Tuesday (cause relaxation should be also included in the training, rignt?) 🙂

I’m going to consume a Cadburys Cream Egg and use it as fuel on a 120km round trip to see a race today.
Easter’s not a big thing around here, so I’m just planning on squeezing an easy 6 miles in between a couple of holidays
It is freezing cold here in Germany and so I want do do hill intervals on my bike to feel some warmth 😉
5 km interval training. In the snow apparently.
Don’t celebrate Easter but did 100K ride in sultry weather of Mumbai.
I’ll eat a lot of easter eggs this holiday – can’t resist! But I’m thinking of running a 5k today to compensate it!
I will do a half marathon tomorrow. Hopefully, there will a be a new PB at the end of the day.
Easy 30min run in preparation of my next half marathon
6 mile trail run, with exercise stations complete with logs, rocks etc.
Did a 50km crosscountry/nordic ski-workout yesterday. Feeling a bit tired this morning and I might just relax in the couch during RVV. Maybe I’ll just go for a short spin on my Tacx later if I’m up for it.
Nevermind the last post: Did a 47km cross country/nordic ski-workout before RVV. Now I can eat those last easter-chocolates with a clear conscience;-)
7 km run in the rice paddies at Ubud – Bali. Amazing! No candy, but cold local beer instead.
Easy 30min run with my wife… no easter chocolate here… Yet 🙂
easy 30min workout
Unfortunately, my easter workout will probably consist of driving, sitting in a chair watching other people move (ballet), stuffing my face with good italian food and then some more driving.
I might be able to squeeze in a little run around the village (about 10 km) on monday though.
One week of holiday : no swim possible. no bike.
Will try to run at least 3 times :
– 30 min Z2 + 6 strides
– Tempo : warmup + 3x1km + cooldown
– 45min Z2
Coming off a net 6 hr SBR brick on Friday, I’ll be looking to pick things up again post Easter with an hour swim and 45 min run.
Back to back long runs (~5 hours split over two days) on Saturday and Sunday. Time on feet for ultra training.

40km bike and eat ‘soba’ yesterday
20km run today
FTP Testi
It’s long run day and I’m doing around 20 km ( I’ve been gradually increasing the distance but it’s the longest for me so far!)
Since I’m still having a flu it will only be long(ish) walks through the snow in Berlin and some Lindor chocolate eggs to lift the mood. Once I’m recovered I’ll get back on my bike and see how far I can take it.
Today I’ll be doing a 10km run to go to my parents-in-law!
2 hours easy recovery ride
A 23k long run on monday will do the trick

Hello,
for today, a bit of work and hopefully a nice short easy ride on the bike…

Go down to the local athletics track and try to run a 10km PB. Seeing I never run at a track and all my training involves rolling hills I hoping this will allow me to break 50 min the first time.
My usual training run but this time with my little daughter 🙂

A great 5k Run in the snowy Park after partying hard the night before!

I’ll be doing a 20k running workout to burn the torrijas
Due to bad weather 2h on trainer and a slow run after that… 🙂
Nearest workout would be my volleyball training.
I’ve catched af cold, so it will be a walk around the nearby lake and then recovery until tuesday with 2 hours of spinning
Just recover from an ankle injury..a nice 3km run-walk is enough for me..
I’ll be doing some strength based intervals on the bike. About a minute or so uphill in the top gear 3 or four time.
Been fighting the flu with Choc Easter Eggs and good whisky. Alarm set for 5am Monday for fell run up Ben Cruachan, (1124m, Argyll, Scotland) Vertical Km into snow and ice, with perfect weather forecast.
90 min run, z1 to z2, around Edinburgh’s hill
The robin eggs, Cadbury mini eggs, Cadbury creme eggs, and reeses eggs deserves a nice two hour run ( on Monday of course). Th
Here in Munich everything is snowed, so no ride today. Instead I’ll head to the pool and hope tommorow it’s dry and a bit warmer…
Happy Easter!
Easy one hour Z2 spin to recover from road rash after ice related accident! Thank you Cadburys!
I will after clearly over eating on choklad eggs, gummi bunnies and also consuming some Swedish Easter brew be attempting the Stockholm Urban 7 Summits challenge. Have enough carbs to go around so to say.
easy recovery rides of 1 hour and some speed walking to compensate for the recent laziness!
A cruisy 1h30 trail run, and then a near 3hr mountain bike ride to practice my mtb skiiiiiillzzzz!
I’m about to leave for my first 10K run ever, pretty exiting!
Only easy runs as I am recovering from this week’s flu.
My return to running from injury continues, but Easter morning’s run saw me complete 3 miles. Though that is a far cry from what my original training plan had me completing on this day, I savored every moment of it.
I worked out the calorie consumption and will now be walking from now until April 5th
After eating way to much GOOD danish easter-food. The only thing to do is Run. Run till I drop.
I’ll be popping out for a run for a couple of hours (26km). Not so much to burn off Easter Chocolate, more to get away from the in-laws!
I ran 20km around the Sydney CBD, the Harbour, the Botanicals Gardens taking in all the sights on a glorious sunny Sydney morning. So happy to be back with family and friends in my home town for Easter that if it burns off none of the Haighs chocs I ate today – I won’t care a bit!
Long 2:30h trail run to burn as much calories as possible. Bad thing was, that I bought just before Easter the book “Racing Weight” by Matt Fitzgerald and I actually exactly did what I’m not supposed to do: Eat tons of chocolate!
Trying to do 20 fast kilometers; think could be hard after all the things to eat!
I will be running this afternoon 18 miles to support my desire to eat Chocolate during Easter.
5 KM at T3 before easter lunch… Just to be on the safe side of things 😀
I’ve pre-burned some chocolat eggs with a 15K run yesterday and will do some burning tonight with a 75 minute rowing excercise.
HAPPY EASTER to everyone !! (no White Christmas last year, but a White Easter this year here in NL 🙂 )
A simple run in the park: today in Italy seems to be Spring.. and tomorrow winter again 🙁
Little hiking in the mountain with my wife.
Here, in switzerland, it’s stille snowing/raining. So I think I will go for a little swim workout in one of our indoor swimming pools (2-3km)
20km trail run through the beautiful trails along Middle Harbour, Roseville, Sydney Australia.
Looks like today is the only sunny day in a rainy series that is not over yet. So I’m going to jump on the bike and ride as fast as I can for a couple of hours in the afternoon.
30 min easy run – no where near sufficient enough to offset Easter lunch and Ronde celebrations.
5 miler.
16k easy. Hope the rain will stop.
16 weeks preggo here.. so I’ll be walking or swimming… and saving the Garmin for September!
20-25km run on the trail. Not so much to work off any chocolate I have eaten but more to avoid the three sugar high boys who did eat all the chocolate. 3 hours of peace and quiet.
1 hour 45 min run steady pace with a slight negative split.
Going to head outside on this beautiful spring day for a 10K run with hubby 😉
90 minutes Power workout on the turbo trainer before work. While watching The Biggest Loser. The perfect motivation for when those imaginary hills get too tough
