Judging by the explosion of running bloggers sharing their race reviews, training programmes and advice on staying motivated, the activities are inextricably linked. And perhaps part of an explanation for this stems from the similarities between running and writing: it is common to see both pursuits attracting descriptors such as discipline, perseverance, and endurance.

"Your workout is instantly more effective than working out on flat, solid terrain. " Not only will you get a tan, but you'll ignite new muscle growth and burn a ridiculous amount of calories in a short amount of time. Here's why: Sand provides less stability, so even the simplest movements are more difficult, he says. It also absorbs and dissipates some of the energy that harder surfaces rebound back, recruiting more muscle and decreasing the impact on your joints.
