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.

Outdoor cycling is still allowed in the Netherlands right now… So did a solo bike ride keeping enough distance in mind when overtaking etc.
I did a 1hr 50min Sufferfest training session on my gen 1 Kickr. My wife doesn’t have a smart trainer, yet, so I’d love to get one for her.
35km ride at 6am in the morning in Victorian regional country area

All trainer rides. No sun. No fresh air. So dark. So gloomy. Living like a hermit.
Rode outside with my GF while telling her that she cannot draft ?
I was trying to run round my driveway but its slippery from the moss that’s growing on it so more like speed skating

I went for a 26 mile bike ride around my local area (Cheshire). I kept my distance to everyone but also made sure I said hi/gave a wave!
I ran 14 miles outside yesterday with no one on the roads. And then jumped on my bike for an hour TrainerRoad ride
2 hours of MTB on our local trail, all by myself! Loved it!

Treadmill run in my house!
Tour of Watopia. I had to do Day 1 so that I had all 5 days.
Went around the block for a run. Sort of dizzy at the end from all the laps 🙂
Last workout was in my “home gym” which basicly is a barbell with some weights. Good to stay fit thought!
Made a (now) rare trip to the park because I’m getting bored of my neighborhood streets even though there’s less people & we can be more spread out in the neighborhood.
Zwift, Muir and the Mountain route.
2.5 hours on Zwift when it was sunny and 20C outside.
Indoor ride full frontal on sufferfest
I stay at home and do workout here. I did power yoga yesterday.
I did the week 3 workout 4 of the 10-12 week FTP builder from Zwift. Long 20 minute warmup followed by sets of 250/230 ended by some level 4 sprints at 285 with recovery at 200.
Because I was on zwift no real people were close but had more virtual friends than I have ever seen before
undusted my old bike, plugged in the drivo, launched the cheetah, and voilà
The wife, kids and I did a 2 hour cardio workout that was streamed over the web, the Fun Fit Fest. Intense. Fun. And great to have the kids around

Last workout, over-unders with trainerroad yesterday. Today 2hrs of sweet spot
an trainer would be great
a few outdoor rides . but mainly on Zwift these days
Zwift for me!
5 mile run in hilly SF
Hi
Managed to slalom-run between the few people out just before the lock down…
When was that… can’t remember, seems aeons ago…
Pulled the unused KICKR snap out of storage, pumped the tires and went for my first indoor ride ever. Could use a cadence meter…
Looks like I’ll be doing this for a while, so glad to get the blood flowing again after a couple weeks of lethargy.
Rainy 5am run in the middle of a downpour. Social distancing is easy when nobody wants to be out.
25mile bike ride with a couple of friends. Peloton was nice 6ft separation b/w us 😉 #notrealpeloton
Zwift Tour of Watopia. Good Stuff, Ray.
I walked 2 miles on a treadmill in the basement, both dogs staring at me all the while.
Today I had my first run outside after quarantine. Could not stop until 17 km. Of course with some slalom elements to avoid other people. 🙂
We’re on complete lockdown in Madrid so everyone is on their trainer. I spent an hour yesterday by my very tired Elite Elastogel. I can’t wait to be back out again. Everybody in our group are on the turbo thinking and planning an epic bikepacking week together.
Cycle an hour Saturday morning and a 90 minute walk / jog (recovering from ankle injury) Saturday afternoon. Only allowed an hour a day here in Belgium but did nothing all week so I am using up my ‘credits’. It’s a bit scary running past heavily breathing runners.
I took a run. 8km. Kids came along on their bike.
Rode 60 miles solo
i’ll probably be stuck doing yoga since I don’t have a trainer
Bike ride with my brother in law
I’m socially distancing with solo outdoor rides and lots of time on Zwift
An outdoor ride on remote country roads….. not many miles, but 1K climbing over out and back 30 mile ride…..
A ride through the German countryside, via my spare room, thanks to your mentioning of the Tour of Europe on Fulgaz!
FulGaz tour of Europe iron curtain climb. Really enjoying this, and it’s free! Thank you for your top tip ?
I went for a pedal about 15 miles up the Santa Fe Trail and then turned around.Hoping for a smart-ish trainer to replace my 17 year old Saris Fluid2… I hear Zwift can be fun.
A run in the forrest while the kids had hockey practice! 🙂
2 mile run on my own yesterday, 88 degrees!
Solo rides for me, it’s a good time to improve the legs with structured training for when club rides are back on.
Brutally windy but thankfully short Derbyshire ride.
We’ve been zwifting like mad (but happy mad)
RAMP test on TrainerRoad
5km walk with my dog! ☺
Hiking in the Franklin Mountains while confined to a 100 mile radius around Fort Bliss.
An 18km hilly run yesterday to finally complete my first ever Strava Run Climbing Challenge at 2194m total in the month!
I rode solo for 3 hours on Saturday. I’m pretty sure that counts for social distancing.
I went on a short solo run outdoors and saw exactly 0 people.
a nice cross country bike ride
I’ve been able to get a road run in most days, but using some more obscure routes to minimize the traffic. Even then, my trail running skills have helped out with a few evasive maneuvers!
The last workout I did was an outdoor run at 11pm. I was all alone!
Went out for a 60miler solo just through the hills out in Southern California.
I suppose Ring Fit counts, the rhythm portion can be a fair workout for my noodle arms.
It has been Zwift for the last 3 weeks…
Intervals on the trainer in the basement.
2 hour over under ride on Zwift. Got 80 minutes of sweet spot today.
Climbed my seven levels stairs 5 times in a row

Nice ride around town
Reverse brick: a 15-minute recovery run followed by a 45-minute trainer ride.
Hello,
I really wish to change my old training bike (using it daily since 13 confined days !) with a connected one.
