2 weeks to Cairns Marathon. 👟✨

Here's what your training should look like right now.

Two weeks out is taper time, and for a lot of runners, taper feels deeply uncomfortable. The kilometers drop, the legs feel heavy and sluggish, and your brain tells you you're losing fitness.

You're not. Trust the process.

Here's what to focus on in the next 14 days:
Pull back the kilometers, your fitness is locked in. The hay is in the barn. Now it's about showing up fresh on race morning, not squeezing in extra sessions.

Lock in your race day nutrition, if you haven't practiced with your gels yet, do it this week on your last long run. Not race day. Come in and we'll help you work out your fueling plan with our nutrition range in store.

Sort your race shoe now, two weeks is still enough time to get a few solid runs in a new shoe before race day. Don't leave it to the week before.

Sleep and recover like it's your job, early nights, good food, easy kilometers. This is where races are won.

Come in and see us this week. Shoes, nutrition, race day kit, we'll get you sorted.
Two weeks. You've got this.👍👟

Here's a secret the rest of Australia doesn't know ☀

While Melbourne and Sydney are mid-winter, Cairns is running in its best weather of the year. Dry. Cool mornings. Low humidity. A flat course along one of the most beautiful waterfronts in the country.

If you've been waiting for the "right" marathon to do, this is it.

Here are 5 reasons Cairns Marathon in July is genuinely one of the best race day experiences in Australia.

Come in and we'll help you get your gear sorted for it. 👟☀

Not all marathon shoes are built the same, and not all marathon runners are either. Whether you're running your first ever 42.2km or chasing a PB at Cairns Marathon, the shoe on your foot matters more than almost any other piece of gear you'll wear on race day.

We've broken it down into three runner types. Swipe to find yours.

Which type are you? Drop it in the comments, or better yet, come in for a fitting and we'll find the exact shoe for your foot, your gait, and your goal time 👟💫

You did it. You crossed the line. You are an Ironman. 🎉

Now it’s time to look after the body that got you there. No talk of next year just yet, this part matters first.

Your body has just taken on 226km and it’s running on empty, so what you do in the next 24–48 hours makes a huge difference to how you recover.

Start with electrolytes straight away. You’ve lost a serious amount of sodium and fluids out there, especially on that run. Getting those levels back up is key.

Next, think carbs and protein. A recovery shake or even a quick gel to bridge the gap before a proper meal will help kickstart muscle repair. Don’t skip it, your body needs it.

Over the next day or two: keep sipping, keep eating, and take every chance you can to get off your feet and let your body reset.

If you need help with recovery, we’ve got everything in store to get you feeling human again.

Huge congratulations to every athlete who raced this weekend. Cairns, you absolutely delivered. 💪
