When, where and how?
During the holiday period, the sun is ideally shining the whole day and makes the temperatures rise highly. To avoid circulatory problems, athletic holidaymakers have to be careful when choosing the right time of day for running on the beach. The early morning is perfect since temperatures and sunshine are more comfortable for practising sports. Furthermore, the beach is not crowded with tanning tourists yet. So runners can train better, relax and enjoy the beach feeling.
Everybody who ever run or walked on the beach will be aware of the characteristics of this type of ground: The effort is higher than on asphalt or forest paths. The leg and feet musculature is strengthened, but it is a tough training. Running near the water helps reducing physical overload as the ground there is more firm than at the soft, dry sand. Since jogging at the beach is unfamiliar to the body, even ambitious runners start with shorter units. At the beginning, the 20-minutes-limit should not be passed, in order to get the muscles in feet and legs accustomed to the sandy ground. Those who are not satisfied with a shorter unit can continue running on paths near the beach or along the esplanade.
In general, the soft ground supports a running style that is gentle for the joints. Especially at the beginning, however, the unusual strain for tendons, ligaments and joints can bear some risks. On strongly-sloping beaches, straining the body in an unbalanced way for too long can cause pain and injuries. Changing the direction once in a while helps to regain the straining balance regarding both sides of the body.
Barefoot or with running shoes: Advantages and Disadvantages
Many people love the feeling of soft sand under their feet. Runners also like to go without their shoes on the beach. Besides the comfortably-massaging effect, running barefoot strengthens the feet musculature. In classic running shoes, the feet’s supporting function is minor since the shoes absorb the impact forces. Running barefoot is additional fitness training for the feet and supports a natural movement.
Nevertheless, running “bottomless” has some natural dangers. Little stones, shells or splinters of wood and glass are sometimes hiding in sandy grounds and can cause injuries. Everybody who wants to avoid this risk can also run on the beach with shoes. A compromise between average running shoes and risky barefoot-running are extra light running shoes or toe shoes.
Too much luggage? – Choose easy running equipment!
Running clothing should not be missing at travels. The right packing choices are important to save some space. Light running shorts and shirts are sufficient for summer holidays in warm regions. Those who want to run on the beach with bare feet and are not planning on taking alternative courses save the weight of running shoes. Number one jogging equipment regarding saving space and weight is the running computer JogStyle from Omron. Athletic holidaymakers who want to keep track of their individual data, such as running time, speed and distance, bring this small, handy device. It fits in every pocket und does not take any space away in the suitcase. By providing additional data like calorie consumption and fat burned, the JogStyle helps runners to control their training and to see how much more delicious food from the holiday buffet is allowed.
