The point of the clinic was to discuss some of the keys to training that might help one avoid injury, particularly those running injuries that can wreck a triathlon season. We talked about running shoe selection, common training errors and barefoot running biomechanics.
There were many great questions from our Peeps. I will be posting those questions here, with answers, for all those who could not make to the Presidio Sports Basement for the clinic.
In fact, here's one now...

I have a nickel size blood blister on my planters wart. I developed this while walking in my flip-flops I busted it yesterday and wondering should I still get it treated or would this help the problem thank you
ReplyDeleteThank you for your inquiry.
ReplyDeleteAny blood blister that has popped could become infected and should be treated by a podiatrist. But the good news is that, in some cases, the formation of a friction blister that gets so big that it pops can often have the same outcome as treatment with liquid nitrogen. It is possible that the wart will go away once the blistered skin peels off after it heals. But again, it's important to make sure that the infection the blister does not get infection can get out of control.
