first of all - i'm new on here, hi everyone!
have just recently started running, having previously been more into hiking and cycling. been doing it for a few months now - did the manchester 10k and really enjoyed it so that spurred me on. with a friend we've been training to do the cancer care morecambe bay half marathon (across the sands at low tide) ....have done some 20k practice runs so am KIND OF ok about the distance, but the thing we are very unsure about is what its going to be like running on such a wet sandy surface.
so my main question is - has anyone done this, or similar? any advice on how to best minimise the trouble that wet trainers could cause?? the course involves wading across a river and lots of big patches of standing water on the sands of the bay (by the looks of it) so theres no chance of dry feet!
i'll be wearing my cheapo nike running shoes, and, at the moment, just a normal pair of thin socks.
any advice greatly appreciated!! (including - "don't do it you idiot"
)
