After I run 5+ miles bf, I end up w/a large blister about 1/2 the size of my thumb on the sole of my foot on the outside.
As you can see from the picture, I'm getting blisters on top of blisters! These never really puff up, but eventually they will come off. But it seems like they are deep blisters. Maybe they're called something else?
When I ran shod, I always tended to run on the outside of my foot. I "hoped" that bfr would correct this part of my form. When I run bf now, I "think" I'm keeping my knees bent, fast cadence, feet landing under my center of gravity, etc. But obviously I'm doing something wrong. :-(
Someone mentioned (forgot who, sorry) that if you were getting blisters on the outside of your foot, that you were twisting your hips too much and so the foot came across and thus rubbed on the outside.
This makes sense, because if you look at yourself running in place, your feet are 6" or so apart. When I run, it feels weird to run with each of my feet on the outside of the lane lines on a running track. But I've been working on trying to keep some space between my feet as they land. I thought this might help with some long-standing hip issues as well.
Then I understood Ken Bob to say that I "should" be rotating my hips. So now I'm really confused. Is bfr like running in place, with feet apart, or is bfr running with feet aligning on a central line?
I don't get blisters on my toes, heels or on the outside of my left foot, only the right.
Has anyone else had this happen? Or does anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong (or what I need to change)?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
