Thank you!
On the use of sand runs in the accumulation phase yeah if you use a structured plan like Pfitzinger you can problably benefit from incorporating it. I feel if you would do a weekly mid-distance zone 2 run in the sand it could help your strenght and balance. With speedwork or strides with recoveryruns could offset the impact on shortening your strides.
