I live near a couple of beaches where I run with our dogs from time to time and am looking at increasing this along with regular road running as part of an overall plan to improve my 5-10km running for sprint & std distance triathlon. I've a reasonable amount of experience doing this just for enjoyment but am interested to hear from anyone who works in a structured way or has soft-sand elements in their program. I'm not talking about sandhills, just regular flat beach running and I average 30km on the road weekly - not a high-miler but regular. If you have a minute and can offer some advice: what do you do? How does it fit in your weekly run routine etc? Do you wear shoes or not?
