Each person is different but here you go:<BR/><BR/>1: Make sure toe nails are trimmed and kept short during training to allow for prep<BR/>2: I purchased shoes from VERTCLE RUNNING that is 1/2 size bigger to allow for my feet to swell. <BR/>3: http://www.injinji.com/ I purchased these socks. <BR/><BR/>I have pics of my feet before. I did not get one blister during the Mohican 100. I was tore up on even the shortest runs/races before I tried this change.Running 2 Mohicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16114830492812227788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373525255232982312.post-21969012585312526752007-06-21T20:52:00.000-05:002007-06-21T20:52:00.000-05:00Mike,I am laying it on thick, just trying to push ...Mike,<BR/><BR/>I am laying it on thick, just trying to push us to achieve more, ya know? I am pumped about the 50k's too.<BR/><BR/>Kim,<BR/><BR/>well I would like to have 5 100's under my belt by the time I tackle McNaughton, so Rocky Raccoon is a strong possibility, and would be even stronger if you guys were going also! <BR/><BR/>You know you want to run the 150!! Don't you remember when we were doing our Mo training run and Tom said this my be his ONLY 100 miler??
