There is a big difference between running on sand and to run on a hard surface. Your body senses the difference in hardness of the surface and it's so incredibly cleverly designed that your leg stiffness changes automatically depending on how soft it is under your feet when you run. So your body will have a little less stiffness when you run on hard surfaces and a little more stiffness when you run on something soft. This is also true whether you run in hard or soft shoes. But even this is largely automatic, you can also get used to different types of shoes or surfaces, which is one reason why the debate about which running shoes are best and most comfortable can become polarized.

NOTE: In an earlier version of this video, I included a short sequence from the Paris Olympics which caused it to be taken down by YouTube. I removed that part and hopefully it will stay up this time.

"The best money I have ever spent. Great mix of humour, practical technique and theory. It’s brilliant and I have been telling all my friends about it. I’ve knocked 30 secs off my average pace to 4:30 and at 53 I’m absolutely astonished how relaxed I feel running. It’s also really helped my cycling my adapting similar techniques and visualisation. Thanks so much."

”I have done the first two audio lessons now. It's amazing what a difference you made for me. I ran 90 minutes yesterday and have never felt so refreshed both during and after the workout, and then I have never run so fast with the same low heart rate. Thanks for that!!”
Update from a runner after two of the six audio lessons

I can honestly say it is some of the clearest and best instruction I have ever recieved in any topic. After a year of shin splints I went for a run yesterday and was almost in (joyful) tears because I had zero pain, so thank you!!
