How to prepare before, during and after Sydney’s City2Surf.

How to prepare before, during and after Sydney’s City2Surf.

This weekend, Sydney saw City2Surf: a 14km run through Sydney to the world-famous Bondi Beach.

Here are a few products that can help you before, during and after this event!

PREPARE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER CITY2SURF: BEFORE THE RUN

Preparation for any race starts months in advance. Every workout is designed to better your training, better your times, better your confidence.

Although preparation is largely down to your own efforts and endeavours, everyone needs a little bit of help.

For example, using an Activating Muscle Rub, before, during and after City2Surf will fire up your muscles but also help them recover. This means that you can achieve marginal gains through every session!

PREPARE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER CITY2SURF: DURING

Salt-water can sometimes dry out your skin, leaving it feeling chapped and sore. This can be a problem when you are running near the coast. What if I were to tell you that you could stop this from happening? This can be done before, during and after City2Surf. Simply apply Protective Moisturising Spray to areas you find get affected easily. Using a spray is best because it allows lightweight coverage meaning you’ll feel protected without feeling too oily.

Australia is a HOT country, and if you’re like me, breathing can be hard in hot countries – even if it is their winter!

However, I found out this AMAZING hack: If you rub on a Vapour Release Balm before going on a run, your airways will be opened, making the 14km run a bit easier!

PREPARE BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER CITY2SURF: AFTER

Running 14km might not be the longest distance, but if you’re like me, the sea air can really take it out of you! This means that it is paramount you take time to recover.

If you really want to relax and recover properly, try using a Cooling Recovery Body wash. Ingredients such as Peppermint and Jasmine are designed to help you relax and increases blood flow so that your muscles recover.
