Marathon training is hard on your feet. A little prevention keeps small problems from derailing your race.
Prevent the common issues
- Blisters: proper shoe fit and moisture-wicking socks
- Black toenails: enough room in the toe box and correct nail trimming
- Overuse pain: gradual mileage increases and supportive footwear or orthotics
Know when to get checked
Persistent heel, arch, or forefoot pain, or numbness and tingling, deserves an evaluation before it sidelines you. Conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and Morton's neuroma are common in runners and very treatable when caught early.
