"Blisters love damp conditions. Keep your feet dry - experiment with talcum powder during training..."
So, the Trailwalker training pack has arrived at Tarahumara HQ - reminding us that, oh yeah, we've got 100km to walk in a few months... and so soon we are going to have to ratchet up the preparations.
Flicking through the guide, one word sticks out quite frequently - blisters. In fact, many a Trailwalker veteran has warned of these. They can be crippling. Apparently good boots (most definitely broken in before the big day) and socks (dry, frequently changed en route) are vital.
Do any of you have blister tips (or horror stories) to share? All welcome as our training gathers pace...
