If you’ve ever looked out the window on a Sunday morning and realised half your neighborhood is out getting their steps up already, then you aren’t alone.
My only question is, how can they do it on an empty stomach?
Whether it’s smashing a PB or simply a brisk early morning walk, training without properly fuelling your body is never the answer.

And with marathon season in full swing, gearing up for race day has never been easier with SharkNinja thinking outside of the box.


Refuelling mid race or jamming as much nutritional goodness in the days leading up to the big event are so important.
But when the adrenaline is high and the blood is pumping, are you really thinking about what you need to be eating.
As a partner of the TCS Sydney Marathon presented by ASICS, SharkNinja is encouraging runners to think beyond the training plan, because what happens before and after a run is just as important as the kilometres themselves.
Ninja is there to refuel your marathon prep, making nutrition and hydration easier around training, while Shark helps aid recovery, from cooling down during or after a run to creating a comfortable environment for a good night’s sleep.
“Runners put so much thought into their training plan, but can often overlook everything that happens around the run,” says SharkNinja partner and marathon runner Rebecca Bridgemohen.
“What you eat, how well you hydrate, how you recover and your sleep all play a part. If you can make those habits easier, you’re setting yourself up for success.”
To help runners through every training stage, Shark and Ninja has pulled together its Marathon Must-Haves, products designed to make fueling, recovery and everyday life that little bit easier.


Take your marathon prep up a step with these must have items straight from the leading revolutionary technology brand, Ninja.
The Ninja SLUSHi provides a hydration focus with a modern frozen twist.
Runners can turn electrolyte drinks, coconut water and fruit-based drinks into icy slushies without ice, making this device the ultimate way to cool down and rehydrate. Or transform high-protein ingredients into ice cream, frozen yoghurt and smoothie bowls for a post-run reward that supports recovery with the Ninja CREAMi. With the Ninja BlendBoss, athletes can take their nutrition anywhere.
Simply blend smoothies and protein shakes straight into a portable tumbler, making pre-run fuel and post-training recovery easy on the move.
Make smarter choices with simple and healthy meals made easy, with the Ninja Crispi users can cook, serve and store nutritious meals in one container — perfect for busy runners staying on top of meal prep and weeknight dinners


And for the moments post run or workout when you need an instant refresh, these must-haves from Shark are the perfect way to unlock the ultimate rest and recovery. Featuring a fan, mist and InstaChill cooling plate, the Shark ChillPill will become your own personal cooling system that delivers instant relief both during and after tough training sessions.
Or with the Shark TurboBlade, a powerful yet gentle airflow, including AirBlanket mode for soft, consistent cooling throughout the night.
“Absolute life-saver in this heat! It sits at the bottom of our bed & provides a gentle breeze all night, we’ve not had a single bad night sleep during this summer,” said one pleased shopper.
“I thoroughly recommend this to anyone who has been struggling to keep cool. It’s very quiet in the lower speeds too!”
Helping to create a comfortable sleep environment so runners and athletes can rest, recover and wake up ready to go again.


For many athletes, putting their bodies through high intensity workouts and runs very quickly becomes the norm.
But looking after your body properly can very quickly become head to the bottom of the to-do list.
So these SharkNinja gadgets are the perfect way to hit the nail on the head when trying to smash your fitness goals and keep your fitness at the forefront of your exercise journey.
For a limited time only runners and homeware gadget enthusiasts alike can get their hands on some of the SharkNinja best selling items for a record low price during their End of Winter Sale.
