Today was one of those days lol
I decided I would run from Broadbeach to Surfers Paradise on the soft sand..
In total it's roughly 7km which I didn't realise and I couldn't tell you last time I went for a run, I have been sticking to my weights..
I put my ear phones in and off I went. It was actually a really good mental and physical battle and you want to stop so many times but you keep pushing through
A few things to remember if you are going to go for a run outdoorsMy top 5 tips
1. Wear sunscreen you will get burnt especially on your shoulders
2. Have a good music playlist before you start running it will help so much break through the mental barriers
3. Don't do what I did and run 7km straight away do a 1km or 2km first and work up to doing 7km
4. Stretch before and after. My legs and calves were crazy painful after and it took me 3 days to recover
5. Start on the hard sand first to condition your legs then go on the soft sand once your legs are used to the un even surface
Lastly as an extra tip put sports tap under your feet and around your toes because you will get crazy blistered from the sand which makes it difficult to walk after your run and wear proper shoes..
Hope this has helped :)
