tendency to go deeper on the loose sand on your backward kick. Use
the ball-heel footsrike and be light with your feet once they touch
the ground.
> 3. If you have the option, run along the harder surface where
the waves are constantly passing along the edge of the beach. You
should be fast enough not to let your shoes or feet being reached by
the "small" waves or ripples along the shore. You will have a faster
time running on a harder surface. Don't mind that you will be
running on an inclined surface.
> 4. Take shorter but faster gait if you are running on loose
sand. This will make you run lightly.
> 5. Wear your sunglasses and don't forget to apply your sunscreen
lotion
