Hi,

I've been getting more into my running over the past 6 months or so and recently completed my first half marathon. While training though I've found that my feet are blistering on longer runs.

I know I run with a mid-foot strike but on most runs over 7-8km I seem to get blisters forming on the balls of my feet at the base of my big toe. I've tried a variety of different socks, talc before running and even a couple of different pairs of shoes. I just don't seem to be able to find a way of stopping it happening.

I'd welcome any suggestions that I could try, or would be interested if anyone else has the same sort of issue?

Cheers,

Pete

Hi.

 I broke my ankle in a rock-climbing fall in May and I'm just starting to get back on my feet. I broke my talus and ended up with 2 screws in it. I've been having physio since 2 weeks post-op and am now (6 weeks later) able to walk on it.

I've been told that I may or may not be able to run on it in the future and so wanted to ask if anyone has any advice to help me rehabilitate it. Obviously I want to give myself the best possible chance of being able to run again, so any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated.

 Thanks.

Pete
