Running 10km (& MajorRage's half marathon madness)

[MajorPom]

Next question - what's the best thing to do about blisters?<br />
<br />
I have a couple after running 16km on Saturday Morning (1hr 40) & obvioulsy want them to disappear so I can continue training.. what's the best thing to do?

If they're small blisters, prick them with a clean needle and drain any fluid. <br />
Try and dry them out as much as possible and then cover them in plasters before running.<br />
If they are big ones and you have a big flap of skin, I always tend to tear or cut it off and try and dry it out. Then go to your pharmacy and get some stuff called 'compeed' (i think its called that). I think its made by band-aid.<br />
There are loads of things you can buy, but at the end of the day they are bastards of things which hurt like hell.

Compeed - amazing stuff. Best plasters I've ever come across, for just about anything, like a second layer of skin. Work like a charm.
