10.68K Beach Running

#23 – 50 runs in 100 days – Summer edition

Spending the day at the beach and watching paragliding.

Late lunch and then it was time for a 10K run. Had a plan. Would start on the beach. Run up the dune with pebble, continue on the country road til I had reached 5K and then turn around and run down the dune again and the beach and back to the hotel

Realized that the country road was a bit shorter than expected, I was not interested to run out on the bigger car road where there were no bike path on the side so instead I saw a gravelled and continued on that and hoped that I would get 5K but no such luck. Saw a narrow path and continued on that one and thought I would end up on the beach again

Got back on the beach and had to run 1700 m to get to 5K but it was tough so I got to 4.5K and turned around

The beach was basically fate except for some paragliders

Best is to run closer to the water where it is harder sand but this time I ran into quicksand and sank down, oh boy did I get extra sand into my shoes? 🙂

Got back on the second dune.

When I had run on the dirt road and would turn back on the beach I needed 300 m more and continued on the dirt road and turned back when I had reached 7.5K.

When I got back on the beach I needed 500 m extra and turned to the left and ran 500 m and back on the beach and ran on the beach til I had reached 9.5K and then ran back to the hotel.

8K Beach Running

#22 – 50 runs in 10t0 days – Summer edition

Our journey continued, being on the road today and when we finally arrived at the hotel I had to head out for a run.

I have been wanting to run on the beach but have not done this yet so tonite I did something very different

Headed towards the beach but turned then left on a road where it ended and I headed out on narrow paths towards the beach

Then I headed up on a hill and saw this view

And then it was time to head down to the beach and decided to run to the left til I had reached 2K

But I had to try to run up on a dune and I can say with regular running shoes is no piece of cake, I had to walk up. I got down on the beach but saw another path with smaller stones that I had to try and got down to a car road and then headed back

Got back on the beach and when I had reached 4K I had to run 1.5K to the right til I headed back. There were a lot of ”kite surfers” except that they were up in the air.

Tough to run on the sand but it was better closer to the water but from time to time I was chased by the waves 🙂
