- chefkd 2y agoKind of weird question: my feet blister so much like used to walk miles without that happening but after moving to the US it became such a regular thing. Is this common? Are there any preventative measures one could take?
- financltravsty 2y agoDid you change your clothing (shoes & socks)? Getting away from cotton socks (wool or polyester) is the most common fix. Getting shoes that fit your feet well is another big one. Also, are you walking a similar amount as where you came from? Changes here could impact walking form (i.e. forgetting how to walk).
- chefkd 2y agoNo long trail walking usually or drifting. Thank you for the wool suggestion I've heard they dry a lot faster as well. I used to walk 4-7 miles to and from school. Now I drift which may be up to 10 miles per day could that be the only issue here?
- financltravsty 2y agoIt's possible. Perhaps it's time to run an experiment?
- slibhb 2y agoRunning 13.1 non-competitive miles every other day is ~45 miles a week. That's not a lot compared to the athletes mentioned in the podcast.
