For runners, the feet are very important. It's the equivalent of Thor's Meowth Hammer or Iron Man's glowing energy ring.
How to take care of your feet, what to wear, how to wear them, what to pay attention to... All of this knowledge can affect how well we run. Today, we will use an article to make it clear - the points to pay attention to in the "feet" of runners!
Foot care
Feet, like faces, need to be cared for. Well-cared for feet can be healthier. Let's talk about daily foot care for runners.
Nails: Trim your nails regularly every week or two weeks, otherwise in the state of long-term running, the nail bed will be constantly squeezed by the shoes, and diseases such as black nails or paronychia may occur.
Lubrication: In autumn and winter, rubbing some lotion or oil on the feet after washing the feet can prevent dry and cracked feet, and can also alleviate the condition of calluses on the feet to a certain extent.
Massage: Regular massage at a regular foot spa shop can effectively relieve foot fatigue caused by running, and if you have plantar fasciitis and other diseases, you can use sponge balls or golf balls to massage the soles of your feet, which can relieve foot pain.
socks
Before Chen Yihan posted a few particularly interesting pictures on social platforms, she wore running shoes barefoot, and stepped on the brand-name running shoes when she took off her shoes after running...
However, in daily life, no matter what kind of running shoes a runner wears or what brand of running shoes, they are generally worn with socks. Even if you have a sock design for running shoes, you may experience blisters if you run barefoot for more than 30 km.
Let's talk about running socks -
Refuse cotton: Cotton socks can't absorb sweat quickly when running, which will make the whole run awkward, friction will produce blisters, and embarrassing situations such as smelly feet will occur after running.
Moisture-resistant fabrics: Choosing running socks with a sweat-wicking inner layer can help us absorb sweat quickly and keep our feet dry, which can not only effectively prevent fungal infections, but also prevent chilblains in winter.
Compression stockings: If you have an old injury to your foot or ankle, wearing special compression socks will help you throughout your run. Compression stockings are threaded from the opening of the sock to the toes to support the muscles.
running shoes
Choose the right running shoes and insoles: Runners need to choose the right running shoes for them according to their running status, injuries, and training plans. In particular, runners with internal or external rotation of the foot need to improve their foot condition by choosing corrective running shoes and insoles. It's also worth noting that the arch of the foot can also affect the comfort of running shoes, so before buying running shoes, especially expensive running shoes, you need to carefully observe the shape of the running shoes and try them on.
Replace running shoes: Generally, the following situations occur, and it is necessary to replace running shoes in time:
- The running volume of running shoes reaches 600KM-800KM;
- Running shoes have been used for more than 6 months;
- The soles are badly worn, and the shading is blurred;
- Holes in the shoes themselves, etc...
In addition, obese runners need to change their running shoes more often than others.
Running Shoe Care:
Remember to loosen the shoelaces after running, and scratching the other slipper through one shoe like Chen Yihan will damage the stability of the shoe.
Running shoes should be dried after washing: moisture will cause running shoes to lose about 50% of their cushioning properties, and wet running shoes will also be easy to breed bacteria and infect athlete's foot. Sun-dried running shoes have a sterilizing effect and will also make the running shoes look vibrant!
Alternate wear: It is recommended to alternate two pairs of running shoes, which can improve the life of the running shoes.
Running shoe cleaning: It is absolutely not recommended to wash running shoes in a washing machine on video sites... This will deform the running shoes and hand wash is recommended.
That's all there is to know about runners' feet, do you have anything to add?
