I just returned from Noosa 10k. I went to get a bp under the Queensland sun, so my quads cry, my skin feels a dry touch and my banking balance has taken a deserved blow.
It was a great race, don't get me wrong. I took advantage of the first opportunity to exchange the fluctuating time of Sydney for the streets lined with the sun and the salty air of the Noosa event. But somewhere between reserving flights, upgrading my runners and ordering a postal grill via MenulogueI had a moment of financial clarity. Running is no longer free.
It was certainly. Chuck on a pair of old gym shoes, run until something hurts and comes home, probably via ad. But now you can't even go to a race without your carbon -plated shoes, your compression socks, your fitness tracker, magnesium tablets, racing gels and complete recovery routine. If you are not in Dilulemon shorts or by pampering the right oakleys on the gram, do you even run?
I have City2surf and the Asics Sydney Marathon still in front of me this year. And honestly, I don't know what is going to be more difficult: shaving 10% reduction over my time or finding a way to finance everything.
Why the Australian runners spend more than ever
A decent pair of shoes on the race day will cost you about $ 200 at $ 400. I'm not saying it's expensive; As runners, we need the right equipment.
But then, the flights to Noosa or even Auckland for a list of buckets? This will cost you still $ 250 at $ 500. Entrance fees are greater than $ 100. Add to these recovery flip -flops, lucky socks, nipple ribbon, solar block, plasters for your toes and a pack of red frogs … everything tends to accumulate quickly. But here is the thing: if you will spend it, do it at least intelligent. This is where Shopback come.
Save money on racing equipment with cashback Shopback
It could be Shopback's anniversary, but, of course, we are those who get gifts. Shopback offers 10 days of overturned cashback from June 1 to 10. These are not only full prices items: Shopback is often stuck with existing sales. So, if a pair of Nikes is already 20% reduction and Shopback offers an overturned cashback, you are actually double. During their birthday event, it often happens … and this is where serious savings come into play.

If you are not already using Shopback, it is free to download, automatically follows your purchases and makes your bank account real after your purchase. No points, no credit, no “mysteries awards”. Real dollars in your pocket.
Personally, I use it to obtain cashback on the runners of The emblematic And Nike and equipment of the day of the race Lululemon. This means that if I buy a pair of Nike Vomero 18S For $ 220, the 18% shopback cashback offer would give me $ 39.60, just for order via the application.
I reserved Virgin Australia flights to and from Sunshine Coast and I picked up a sunscreen, plaster and petroleum jelly from Rods And PriceAll with cashback. Even my Oak Since Hut of sunglasses made money, and I will not even pretend that I needed it.

After a race, I will often pull MenulogueWhere the cashback can reach 100%, which means that this dinner after the race feels like an award in more than one title.
If you are already serious at the idea of ​​running and spending money on the equipment to match, do not use Shopback, it is as to train for a marathon and forget the carbohydrate load. You just leave easy gains on the table.
Cashback on travel, technology and recovery also
Beyond the evidence, Shopback covers more than retail. I have friends who use it to book whole weekends, flights, hotels, rental cars, throughout Reservation.com,, AgodaAnd Virgin Australiawith money on each leg of the trip.

You can even win a cashback on recovery equipment such as massage pistols, portable technology, gym supplements, in addition to cold dives and saunas at home, if you live in Bondi. If it's part of your racing routine, it's probably on the store.

The race has always been on small gains. Training adjustments. Shoe swaps. Mental tips to extract an additional K. Shopback helps you recover part of the money you already spend, and with the birthday event in June, it's the best time (short of Black Friday) to fill up, save and win the cash register without changing things. It seems that the only thing better than defining a new PB is to be paid.
