KimCanRun 28 Jan 2:23pm, 28 Jan 2024 7,337 posts	0 KimCanRun Well done Som & Sal. Boo to bad knees I’d planned a 9ish mile out and back run that I’d done before. Ended up doing 11 somehow. 🙈 Then cafe visit afterwards. Always the best bit. Glad to, inadvertently, get a double digit run in. But looks like 2024 is going to be the year of the blister
Sombrero 28 Jan 2:56pm, 28 Jan 2024 13,876 posts	0 Sombrero Well done on the 11 miles Kim. What socks do you wear? I got some Versus socks and they're so comfy and I never blister in them. They've got a sale on too. versussocks.co.uk
KimCanRun 28 Jan 3:20pm, 28 Jan 2024 7,338 posts	0 KimCanRun I last had year of the blister in 2017 and went through all the socks, talc on feet etc. Vaseline seemed to work in most cases. Though had some issues with different Saucony’s last year. Think I got a bit complacent about Vaseline on feet and that caused the one this year that’s just about gone. Today’s was right above that one. Thanks for the recommendation though.

Columba 28 Jan 5:51pm, 28 Jan 2024 22,416 posts	0 Columba I used to get a lot of blisters, and found that double-layer socks usually prevented them, and also "toe socks".
LazyDaisy 28 Jan 6:32pm, 28 Jan 2024 39,563 posts	0 LazyDaisy Hilly TwinSkins for me every time. Never had a blister when wearing them (mind you, I rarely have a blister with single skins either but I like the feel of the double layer.)
IdristheDragon 28 Jan 6:59pm, 28 Jan 2024 6,283 posts	0 IdristheDragon I got a blister yesterday after my round and round the track run. Was in a slightly odd place on my foot - hope it doesn’t happen again.
Sombrero 28 Jan 7:29pm, 28 Jan 2024 13,879 posts	0 Sombrero Idris, that may be because you were running in circles. New hot spots on your feet. I've heard of that happening before.
Sombrero 28 Jan 8:04pm, 28 Jan 2024 13,880 posts	0 Sombrero Serendippily can you add Redbrik Foundation Chesterfield 10K for me on Sun March 24 please.
alpenrose 28 Jan 8:23pm, 28 Jan 2024 62,365 posts	0 alpenrose Nice running today from all who got out there. Boo to poorly knees. Kim, do your insoles need replacing? I went up the mountain for lunch today, it was lovely and warm up there with fab views.
