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?

40minutes tempo run
I’ll be going to the gym on Monday to do a short run, some elliptical, and maybe some weights.
An easy 10k.
2 hours easy run, followed by gorging my self on chocolate.
Unfortunately, I’m recovering from an injury and the workout was short (10km mtb) and light (3’30″/km)
I just ate a lot of easter cake, which is kind of a typical habit in my family (it’s a huge flat cake shaped in a rabbit with a lot of delicately bitter chocolate glaze and many smarties on it)
To burn it I will do a 40-50k time-trial workout with my new 3T Bars 🙂
Happy easter everybody!

13.1 mile run on Sunday! Ran my first marathon a couple weeks ago and loved it.
After running 3 days in a row on treadmill I was hoping to go out today, but with crappy weather I’ll stay in and do 100min @ 150HR
As a result of lots of chocolate, and tomorrow(Monday) being a public holiday in Australia I will be doing a 17km run then instead of today. Was supposed to be doing it with a mate, but he piked!
PEEPS PEEPS made me do it. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH 30 mile cycling Virginia Beach’s Cape Henry and oceanfront. BTW Mr. DCrainmaker… Thanks for the tip on the 910 … bought thru Clever Training… have my eye on the Fenix. Thanks for all you do! -M
Couple of hours on bike after breakfast on Monday. It’s our tradition, but this evening the snow storm is coming to Warsaw, so maybe we’ll change it to cross country skiing 🙂
I did a 36Km trail run in sandy pinewoods just to get some space for the Easter lamb.
No workout on Sunday but Easter Saturday saw an off-road Olympic distance tri in Pokhara, Nepal. Missed out on first place by under a minute but did come away with an engraved knife!
Just completed the Ironman Oceanside 70.3 so I could eat a chocolate bunny and not have to worry about it!
I’m afraid a workout isn’t going to happen for me in the next few days…
No workout on Sunday but Easter Saturday saw 2nd place in an off-road Olympic distance tri in Pokhara, Nepal.
A 30km bike ride with a 8km run – Brick session. Getting ready for my biggest Triathlon to date next Saturday.
I’m not sure it will counteract the multitude of chocolate eggs and buttons I’ve consumed, but I don’t think I’ll be able to do anything more than a long slow plod down the Thames path for 25-ish km.
Usual track session consisting of 10 sets of 400m. To celebrate Easter, let me add in a lap of bunny hops! Hope that doesn’t kill the quads!
25k cross-country skiing after too much chocolate
Today’s workout will be 5 * 15 min Z1-2/5min Z3
This should work off those Lyndt that I will eat later 😉
Some yoga today then a long bike ride tomorrow.
Daily (at least) 5k runs next week at easy pace… leading up to my first ever half-marathon on Sunday 7th (also my birthday, yay!)
30 minute 5k run steady pace then into the kayak for a pyramid sprint session.
Just eating chocolate as I’m tapering for Paris marathon next weekend.
1.5hrs on the bike. 5*5min Z4 intervals with the remainder in Z2.
Have a great Easter.
easy 1 hour run & 20 min core workout. 🙂

4x500m swimming today and 2.5 hours biking tomorrow
3 mile run today
12 km easy run……Happy Easter to everyone from Italy!
Did a 4.5 hour timed workout on hills, approximately 20 miles of complete altitude training, which included mostly climbing and trekking through deep woods, this was as part of my saturday workout…followed up with a sunday workout of 1.5 hours of steps training, did approximately 1000 steps in the duration as part of my drills…and then did a tempo paced 3 mile workout as part of the same drill !!!
Mine will be a 100km running week, with probably a 30km run next Sunday. That should help get rid of all that Milka chocolate I just ate/am eating/will eat 😉
45 minute easy run
2 hr trail run along the coast and streams near my old folks, with loads of snow and mud – was great!
I’ll guess I will be burning Easter breakfast with easy 40 min jogg.
I joined the Strava Spring Classic Challenge from Specialized and it starts on Monday – it means 1319km of riding in April 😉 So I can use some of these gadgets to record it 😉
My training today has been 21km steady running, but no training is suited to melt all the food we consume in Italy, and specifically in Campania region, on Easter!
3h Z2 indoor biking, weather in vienna isn’t very well this days…
6 x 10 min intervals on the trainer.
having completed a sprint triathalon last sunday in 2hrs 40 mins, this sunday is all about staying in bed and reading Steve Job’s biography.
10k run preparing for 21k in a month
Slow run 1h20’…. Won’t compensate breakfast but it will be ok for Easter 😉
It’s finally sunny and warmish ( read not freezing) in Maine and due to the extensive old school jelly bean eating that has occurred I’m doing a bike and run brick after lunch…. 15 mile bike and 3 mile run
60 min Sandhills session – 30 min OWS session over 1000 cal…..just enough for at least 2 Lindt bunnies 🙂
Bring my brother out to his longest ride (his 5th ride on his new road bike) 60k then ran 5k hard with him around the lake. Got him hooked on triathlon and helped him to forget about recent sad happenings in his life. Triathlon is the way to go.
I’ll be doing a cold and windy 20mile cycle, really need an indoor trainer!
Did a 16.54 km run from my apartment bouilding to city park and back…after party = 2hours of crossfit.

Hope thats enough to just balance the calorie surplus

Hike 5 or 6 miles with my wife.

Easter Sunday greats:
It is sunny and dry in Edinburgh for the first time in at least a month!
Go for a run!
Actually before the Easter I was planning to do 12k with substantial variations, however everything went not as I expected after some chocolate bunnies beat the crap out of me :D, and so now I’ll do 8k run to the lake 1k swimming lap and will try to sweat those 8k back slightly faster than before the swim. You know those tricky bunnies, I’ve never trusted those guys… 😀
18 mile long run – outside finally!
I did a 15k trail race yesterday on a pretty awesome/tough course. This AM before the festivities have a chance to derail my plans I’ll log a handful (3-5) of miles to loosen up and prepare for the training week ahead.
Long long long run in prep for my first marathon,then into training for my first ultra marathon…….oh and cadburys creme eggs are to blame,thank you please
Just getting back into things after a breakthrough performance (for me!) in San Juan 70.3 so I’ll be doing a 1:30 hour run, leisurely pace with friends and some strength training.
77 mile road/off road ride with lots of climbing.
20k time trial
Swim workout as I buggered my foot in my local half marathon last week. 300m warm up followed by 20 x 100m sprints with 15 seconds rest then a 200m warm down. Fun Fun!
Did a 16.54 km run from my appartment bouilding to city park and back with my good friend Suunto Ambit. After party = 2hours of crossfit.
Just doing a 7 mile EZ run
Planning for an easy 7 mile run
10 mile bike time trail followed by a 5k run to prepare for my 1st triathlon next Wednesday
My workout for the day is a 6h alpine ski session, and the cause of my candy hangover is chocolate eggs filled with cream 😉
1 hour session on the trainer with Trainerroad.
Italian pastries will be my Easter treat.
For some weird reason we have 2 Xmas-days and 2 Easter-days in Holland. This year we have a snowy Easter :-). On the second Easterday (tomorrow) I will run a 10k Easterrace. Hopefully I win some Easter-cheese. Today we are eating chocolate eggs and chickenegg, all brought to us by the Easterbunny.
Will be running a short 3 miles later tonight. Cadbury Creme Eggs are by far my biggest weakness. Thankful they are only around this time of year!
the plan was 2 hours trail running but today i woke up with sore throat so i’ll stay in bed 🙁
1hr Crossfit workout followed by 10k run…first half ironman this year!!
Today I did my second to last long(35Km) run before my first marathon. Tomorrow I will do a short pre eastern bunny eating run of 10K. My mom will prepare brunch so I have no clue what I will be having.
I would like to have one of the garmin cycling computers. Because of the training for the marathon my swimming and cycling got kind of downsizes. I will be making longer tours and the 910 just isn’t such a nice routing watch.
18 miles on ft. Lewis mountain. (Mtb)
Sadly, not that much training lately. My foot have been not that great, and it have been snowing so…. I have been doing a round of insanity, going for week 4, its fun i it also gives some cardio preparation so… Seems ok 🙂
Well, today is Sunday, so it’s my rest day!!! No training today then I’ve a relatively easy recovery week next week. Lots of triathletes seem to forget the importance of rest and recovery so I’m calling it out here!
10 mile run with some hills and beach! One of my favorites!
Looks like a treadmill run. Love the reviews by the way.
A slow bike ride of 20km to work tomorrow morning followed by a short 30 mins swim during lunch. That should be enough I guess ….. –
If the weather’s nice enough, attempt Mount Lofty. If not, a 6km jog/walk in 50 minutes or thereabouts.
did an UpRun Race yesterday..easy run today
3 mile run in the park. Chocolate covered Peeps! Blast those things! A new creation since lat Easter – and oh so yummy!
I’m tapering before saturday ultra. My workout is to eat well and get rest during steady runs followed by core with foam roller.
Looks like a treadmill run. Love the reviews by the way!!!!!
800m repeats…did them last week for the first time and now I’m hooked! Didn’t help that my runkeeper app didn’t track the run!! What candy didn’t put me here, twix, Reese’s peanut butter eggs, snickers? You name it ill eat it! Hoppy Easter!
Racing Nautica SoBe!
Looks like a treadmill run.

Long run of 10 miles as I prep for brooklyn half marathon. Going to have a bit of chocolatewith my coffee this morning and some jelly beans later today! Happy Easter!
40k ride up MacArthur, hopefully before the rain comes in. Dark chocolate with sea salt was well worth it though. Happy Easter!
I enjoyed to many of those stuffed little easter eggs. So this morning me and my pal went for a 30 km MTB ride to get rid of the cobwebs and the calories……
I’ve just finished a Marathon 2 weeks ago, so i’m just starting a new block for a 10k race in late May. This week i’ll start doing 10 x 400m.
Knee rehab exercises, 2 mile jog, 1hour trainer ride.
