i'll answer every one of you, and i'll make sure you get your foot pod. just, by EMAIL.
LATE ADD: when you send me your email, tell me if you use a different email for your zwift account and, if so, what it is.
I got the Zwift e-mail. Not a current subscriber, but have used Zwift in the past. Here's what they said.
"Hey Brett,
Thanks for being part of the Slowtwitch community on Zwift! You’re one of the first 1,000 to sign up for a free Zwift RunPod.
To qualify for a free Zwift RunPod you need to upgrade your account to a paid subscription. Once subscribed you will need to log in to your My Zwift account and update your shipping address.
Please complete these two steps by December 4th. RunPods will begin to ship to eligible Zwifters the week of December 10th.
See you on the road.
The Team at Zwift"
It makes sense to me that they want me to be a paid subscriber as there'd be no other reason for me to need a foot pod if I didn't have a zwift account.

yeah. basically, that's it. i did check something. i asked whether anyone who "activates" the paying part of their subscription gets full credit for the any unused part of the free trial period, and the answer is yes.
so, if you milk the trial period to the end, then subscribe, you get the same benefit is if you immediately subscribe. everybody gets the trial period. just, you're likely to get your foot pod, or get it faster, if you subscribe more quickly.

Hi Dan,
Looks like I missed out unfortunately. I'm a long time Zwift user for biking and would love to give Zwift running a try. Let me know if you can do anything.
Thanks,
Elliot

1 month subscription is $15 USD. Still cheaper than a footpod + shipping.
On another note, if I already had a shipping address + active subscription, could it be the reason why I didn't get the email from Zwift? since I already had all the required info for them to ship the footpod?

Dan - I am a current zwifter, subscribed to the list, never gotten an email or anything from Zwift. Sent you an email, never heard back. Mind checking? My Zwift account is the same as my ST email address.
Thanks!
Next races on the schedule: none at the moment

I ended up passing on the foot pod deal. While, free stuff is 'always' great, I hate running on treadmills and running outside is one of the few ways that I get my ass outside during the winter.
I hope the foot pod is handed out to someone that can make good use of it
