Beautiful beach I thought running on sand was more difficult? X

[F1ipperation Graduate in reply to amanda2463]

Slow and Steady!! I kept to the waters edge where the sand was firm. Got soaked shoes a couple of times which was surprisingly refreshing 🤭😉☀️☀️😀👍

I also would of thought sand would make running 🏃 a bit hard. Will surely try a beach run this week now 😉

Fabulous ...what a beautiful place... and is terrific..but... ( there's always a but.. ) although it is great and the sand feels firm and dry.. the strain on our calf muscles is there... It was one of the things which my Physio would not allow me to do for a long time after an injury..IannodaTruffe also explained why...there are benefits..but the whole thing like everything else should be done slowly and safely.

I am trying not not to be a kill joy , just want to keep you safe...and I have run along the beach this year:)..Just be steady..

Maybe take a look at this too.. it is interesting

Taken on board! I’ve done two runs now and it feels good but I’m definitely keeping it Slow and Steady. I don’t run 🏃‍♂️ until I’m on the firm sand, barely a footprint 👣😀👍 I’ll have a read through the info you’ve kindly sent. Thanks again for keeping us all well informed. Hope everything is good with you.
