It is said that the runner's foot is the most pitiful foot in the world... No matter what kind of work a runner does, the moment you take off your running shoes, you will always suspect that his feet must have experienced something unusually cruel, with moss, black toenails and blisters all over the place...
Today, let's talk about the causes and prevention of running feet and how to recover from them. No matter how long you run, you still have to take good care of your body!
01
Foot moss of running feet
Foot moss is a foot disease caused by a fungus that spreads from the toes. Because runners often run and sweat their feet, our feet are often in a moist and warm state, so there are not a few runners who suffer from foot moss.
Symptoms of foot moss include peeling, itching, burning, swelling, or chapped toes. Foot moss is very contagious and can be contracted by us runners who try on other people's running shoes or come into contact with people in the pool gym with immobile water and equipment.
If you want to prevent foot moss, then first of all, you need to keep your feet clean, including cleaning up the running shoes after running, you can choose sterilization or high-concentration alcohol spray, pay attention to the usual maintenance and drying of running shoes, and at the same time carry out all-round sterilization and cleaning of running shoes after a certain time or mileage.
At the same time, pay attention to the cleanliness of your feet after running, take a full body bath when it is convenient, and pay attention to wiping your feet dry enough with special towels or disposable paper towels. If you can't take a shower right away, you should also pay attention to the air-drying of your feet, and try not to keep your feet in sweaty running shoes for too long.
If you are already infected with foot moss, be careful not to run long distances, rub foot moss, or have close contact with other people's feet and foot equipment, and be prepared for treatment that will take a few weeks to heal.
Over-the-counter, gel-based antifungal medications can be purchased for foot treatment, and the feet should be washed and cleaned every day, while keeping the feet dry at other times. If there is no improvement within 2-3 days after taking the medicine, you need to seek medical attention in time to determine the type of fungus and prescribe the right medicine.

The black toenails of the running foot
Runners without black toenails are rare. Black toenails are every long-distance runner's nightmare, not only because they hurt, but also because they are ugly.
Black toenails caused by running are often caused by ill-fitting running shoes. If you want to prevent it, you need to choose a running shoe that is half a size larger, make sure to leave at least one thumb space between the toe and the big toe, and fasten the laces, especially when running long distances and downhill runs, and be careful not to keep the toes pushing up to the top of the shoe continuously.
If you're unfortunate enough to fall for the black toenails, there's one thing you need to do – change your shoes. Change to a pair of shoes that fit well, and then learn how to tie your shoes more securely, as for the black toenails, if they don't show signs of bleeding, they will generally heal on their own.

If you buy a new pair of running shoes, if you have sweaty feet, if your shoes are a little bigger... Then I'm sorry, but the blisters are already here or on the way.
Blisters are a very common minor pain on the running foot, although there is generally no danger, but it is also very painful, and it affects the running mood and exercise effect at the same time.
So how do you get a better deal with blisters? Here are a few suggestions:
First of all, if the blisters have just appeared, then stop running for 1-2 days, the blisters will generally heal on their own, the next time you run, you should pay attention to the position of the blisters, do not rub excessively, you can pad some cotton cloth in this position as protection.
