When doing a workout on the beach...?

Question

is it easier to run barefoot or in tennis shoes?

im going to the coast this weekend and plan on running a mile or more.

Answer 1

Run barefoot. it will give your calves a better workout because of less friction. shoes will add friction to make the workout easier. but whichever you prefer.

Answer 2

So long as you don't step on something sharp barefoot is always best I find.

But then again it depends on how rough the sand is and how long of a run you are going for.

Still I have always preferred bare feet on a run up to 4 miles.

Answer 3

it is soo hard to run on soft sand w/o shoes...i have never tried it with shoes. Run on the hard sand near the water. This is much easier but hurts your feet alot. I would run with shoes on the hard wet sand if you are not afraid if you shoes might get wet.
