The Alphabet of Running ......F is for Feet

9/3/2018

When was the last time you had a good look at those amazing feet of yours. For some of us we have probably checked the tyres on our car more often. And just like for tyres, we probably only look when it is too late. SO the next time you peel off your sweaty socks take a good long look.
  • Check out your nails - too short or too long and you could be in for trouble. 
  • Make sure your trainers and other shoes fit - blisters got walking to work could ruin your weekly run. Replace trainers regularly.
  • Wear good quality socks which fit and are right for your sort of running. Long socks keep you warm in winter and stop legs getting scratched while short socks keep you cool. Experiment. 
  • Keep fungus at bay by keeping your feet clean and as dry as you can. Sitting around in wet trainers for hours after a run probably best avoided. 
  • Give those feet a workout - walk around bare foot, roll your foot on a tennis ball (ahhhh lovely - try it) to get blood flowing and ease muscles.
