BA - Blisters (especially popped ones) are the worst running injury.

What can I do to stop this? is it to do with running technique or what?

Going to keep running though, loving it at the moment, and lost 10kg since starting 3 months ago.

if you have proper running shoe's how old are they? it may be that you've knackered the cushioning in them. most trainers only have an approx. life of 5-600 miles.

That point is spot on except this is affected also by weight and how hard you run. I rarely get more than 250-300 miles before the support has gone.

I checked them out this morning. It's not pretty. I should not have gone for the run last night. Oh well. A few days rest with iodene treatment.

Yes.

I am assuming you are not talking about the January event though. That's far too soon for me, I wont be fit enough.

BA - what shoes do you run in?

Do you use running socks?

I used to suffer from blisters on the ends of my toes, but changed my shoe size and bought a few pairs of dirrerent socks to run in and now I rarely get blisters.

i hate joggers - they all smell.
