Beech training


Recommended Posts

We've got a summer camp in August but went to see where it was today, had a great laugh looking about and did a trial run of training on Bournemouth beech this morning.

Luckily all of the stones have round edges....

Running on the beach is the worst. Can't get any "push" off and it just saps your legs.

The only time I've ever trained on a beach was on a trip to Hawaii, and I discovered that there are random chunks of coral and volcanic rock hidden in the sand that will attack you. Also, salt water has a unique stink to it when it soaks a sweaty gi!

Yeah, that's the whole point.
Which would be worse, I mean, the better leg workout, running on the beach, or hill sprints? I imagine each has their own properties for making us stronger.

Try both! Last year we did sand dune sprinting. Try running up this: http://www.richk.co.uk/MMawr/MMawrPix.htm Europe's largest sand dune. (I puked at the top :dead:)

Uggh, sounds like some obscene, yet fun, form of punishment. Kudos to you, Danielle. I probably would have puked half-way up, if I could make it that far.

i love beach training. As hard as it is it works you so much better than in the dojo - as it forces you to be more aware your body is in space (for you smart people it is proprioception) and your body will become so much stronger from it
