Podcast With Coach Al Lyman

From Pursuit Athletic Performance (USA)

Coach Al Lyman, from Pursuit Athletic Performance, and I chat about the myths around blisters which don't serve athletes well at all.

"Some of the things we discuss in this podcast:

• What are the most pervasive myths surrounding blisters? There are plenty!

• What's the difference between rubbing and shearing and why does it matter?

• Are certain folks more prone to blisters?

• What about shoe fit and lacing options?

• Do lubricants like vaseline or powders work to reduce blister risk, or are you actually making things worse by using them? (Hint: I unfortunately discovered this during my last race, a 50 mile trail race in Florida a little over two weeks ago! Not good). :)

• And much more!"
