Why is it more exhausting to run on sand than on concrete?

In sand the particles are loose. So if you wish to go ahead you have to exert more force on the sand as the particles will sink in a little i.e you are compressing the sand a little and hence a bit of your force is lost there. Whereas in concrete the particles are tightly packed and barely gets compressed. Hence only the threshold force is required for you to move forward.
