Whether you’re gearing up for the 42km marathon or the 3.5km family run, it’s essential to prepare your body and mind, to get the most out of your run. At MidCity, we love wellness and fitness and want to help you out this running season.
Train to last!
As soon as you sign up, it’s time to get training! To build up your stamina and strength be sure to join a variety of classes available at Virgin Active. Avoid fatigue halfway through by putting in the time for pre-training and your body will thank you!
Look the part
Now that your training is underway, you need to think about what to wear to give yourself a little edge. Kathmandu and Rebel have you sorted with incredible running specific ranges. Think light, breathable fabrics that won’t hold you back.
And of course, don’t forget about your feet! Make sure they are comfy and supported in a new pair of Sketchers sneakers. Be sure to wear them in a little before the big day to avoid blisters.
Get the gadgets
Grab a few gadgets to keep you motivated during prep and the run. There is nothing more annoying than earphone cables getting in the way or even worse, falling out! Be ahead of the pack with Wireless Sport Bluetooth Earphones. Enjoy your favourite pump-up playlist without the worry.
If you really want to go all out, a Smart Watch is the ultimate running assistant. The easiest way to track your progress as well as monitor your heart rate, breathing, pace and more. You won’t need to worry about lugging your phone around, with all your essentials and music on your wrist.
Recovery Time!
After all that prep and the run itself your body will be screaming for a little TLC. Be sure to stock up on your favourite muscle recovery bath soaks and creams from Chemist Warehouse. Add these to your post-training ritual to avoid injury and boost recovery.
After the big run, why not treat yourself to a relaxing massage at My Healthy Massage? Soothe any muscle niggles and feel your aches and tension melt away.
Father’s Day is creeping up! Don’t get caught out last minute and get the same old boring socks like last year. Snag the perfect gift to show your Dad how much you love and appreciate him.
Whether you have a small budget or are really wanting to treat your Dad, MidCity has your gifting needs covered.

With 3 or 12 month options, it’s a great motivation to keep him going. Plus, he will have access to heaps of daily classes like boxing, cycle and yoga. Available at Virgin Active.
For the chill Dad. Who doesn’t love a big, cosy robe? Your Dad will be the pinnacle of relaxation in this comfy, plush number. Perfect for chilly nights, just light a warm hug from Dad. Available at Peter Alexander.
For the sports obsessed Dad. Whether he’s a die hard football, rugby or cricket supporter you can score a huge range of Fangear at Rebel. Have him sorted for the grandstand cheering on his favourite team with a shirt, hat, jacket and more. Available at Rebel.

Winter is well and truly here and we’re not mad at it at all. Not with the gorgeous colour tones hitting our stores. A few simple tones matched with the right textures and small design details make facing the brisk winter mornings more bearable.
Pantone named ‘Living Colour’ (Pantone 16-456) as THE shade for 2019. The colour brand describes the colour as “an animating and life-affirming shade of orange with a golden undertone that was all about optimism—a much-needed attribute of late”. Yum, sign us up!
First things first, winter doesn’t mean you need to pack your favourite footwear into those ugly vacuum bags (you know the ones!) in favour of warmer options. Give your summer kicks a winter update and pair them with some cute socks or tights. Try these cult favourites – Grace Two-Part Pointed Court Heels from Forever New.
After the last few seasons focusing on sharp, tight silhouettes, bold colours and touchable textures, suiting is now in. Think soft colours and soft cuts, with light textures to break it up. Buttermilk yellow, heather grey, oatmeal and sage green silks and cottons, with trousers that softly pool just the tiniest bit around the legs.
Clear out your crisp whites and oyster silvers because your new best friend oat is here for Winter 2019. A reminder of summer linen, this shade is the new neutral. Wear paired with deeper tones like olives, navies or terracottas, buttermilk yellow or sage green.
So this winter lets skew neutral! Let go of the traditional colour blocking and a pop of colour and go neutral all the way. Hey, we understand the need for the familiar, so add your favourite red lip. We suggest Flower Mix N Matte Lip Duo Red Velvet from Chemist Warehouse.
The Australian summer is endless – and winter is so short and sweet when it does arrive. This winter, take the opportunity to rug up and escape on a camping weekend.
Whether it’s a stay-cation locally on the beach or you are packing up for a 4X4 adventure get-away, check out @kathmandugear.
Kathmandu was born in NZ and they believe that adventure begins when you pack your bag. Now, the staff at in store are the real professionals but here’s what we know…
You need a good tent, come rain, hail or shine your tent is your home! Better to be over prepared than under prepared. Here’s some good options for your home away from home…
The Retreat 80 3 Person Tent easily fits 3 people or the right amount of space for you, your partner and all the stuff you just HAD to bring with you.
Connect it to the Retreat Compass Hub for an indoor dining and leisure area for when nights are super chilly. You can store your UNO cards here, as well as the extra snacks. If you can get enough friends on board this Hub can connect to up to four tents.
Secondly, there is no electricity. A seasoned camper may have grasped this, however for the first timers this means no lights, no charging points – no nothing! I know, it sounds like a lot and if it’s too much you can always look into powered camping sites. Otherwise, Kathmandu has it covered. Source lanterns, cooktops, cutlery and even dehydrated outdoor meals for the extra dedicated participants. You can even get batteries and solar power kits for your camp set up.
For those of us who love a gadget, you will appreciate the illuminosity generated through four different settings on this Retreat 1200 Lantern, with a handy beam distance of 39 metres.
Finally, you can’t forget sturdy footwear, warm socks and a good winter coat, thankfully all are available at Kathmandu. Comfort is key when you are trying something new. Try bringing your pillow from home for an extra touch.
Now, grab all your goodies, pack the esky and take that weekend off.
