Noun
Defintion for Beach running
Running on sand along the shoreline, often characterized by increased resistance and instability compared to running on solid surfaces.
Long Definition
Beach running involves running on sand, which provides a softer, uneven surface compared to pavement. This increases muscle engagement, particularly in the calves and stabilizing muscles, enhancing strength and balance. The resistance of sand can improve cardiovascular fitness and burn more calories. However, it can also increase the risk of injury if not done carefully. Beach running is popular for its scenic environment and the added challenge it provides. It matters to runners as it offers a low-impact alternative to hard surfaces, potentially reducing joint stress while improving overall fitness and agility.
