Beach runs will make you stronger

Running on the beach is tough. It is one of the most effective ways to boost edurance and strength in your legs. Running on sand is something that you really have to ease into, it is really hard on your calves. If you want really big calves, running on the sand is a great way to get them.

According to Florida Atlantic University track coach, Alex Smolka, running on the beach is very benefitial. Even if you do not do speed runs on the beach, just going for a distance run will help build muscle.The FAU track team will start doing beach runs in week eight, in order to start developing more footspeed.

Running in the sand will strengthen your body but could also strengthen your mind. With the breeze blowing and the waves crashing, a lot of people use this as a way to relax. Once you are done with your beach run, you could go for a light swim or cool down in the water.

I found a really good website that gave me some very good tips when it comes to beach running. My own personal tip is to wear shoes and socks. I know it is probably going to be hard to run in shoes, but I have learned from experience that by not wearing them, it is very likely that you will get blisters.

You should visit this website to check out the other tips that they give.

In the past for a sprint workout, we jogged a mile warmup and then did twelve 150 meter sprints, as fast as you can.
