How to Prevent Blisters, Foot Pain, and Foot Injuries in Ultramarathons with Dr. Jeff Hammond
Description
Foot issues can absolutely wreck your training and your race if you do not know how to manage them. In this episode, I sit down with board-certified podiatrist, ultrarunner, and foot expert Dr. Jeff Hammond to break down exactly how ultrarunners can prevent blisters, manage foot pain, choose the right shoes, and avoid common injuries before they spiral into bigger problems.
If you have ever dealt with hot spots, painful blisters, plantar fasciitis, tendon pain, or feet that feel destroyed deep into a long run or race, this episode is packed with practical advice that can help you train and race stronger.
