Episode 78: Blister Prevention For Runners (Hot Spots)

Discussion about preventing blisters or hot spots during running or other endurance sports. I talk about shoes, socks, lubes, and treatment if blisters do surface during a race.
Blisters are most often caused by skin being damaged by friction or heat. Certain medical conditions also cause blisters to appear. The damaged upper layer of skin (epidermis) tears away from the layers beneath and fluid (serum) collects in the space to create a blister.
