🏃♂️ Cardiff Half Marathon Heroes – You Did It! 🎉
Congratulations to everyone who conquered the Cardiff Half Marathon today! 💪
If your feet are now paying the price with painful blisters, don’t panic — it’s incredibly common after long runs. Here are our Top 3 Tips to Manage Blisters 👣
💧 1. Don’t pop it (if you can help it!)
The fluid inside protects new skin forming underneath. Keep the area clean and covered instead.
🩹 2. Use sterile dressings
Hydrocolloid or blister plasters cushion the area, reduce friction, and speed up healing.
👟 3. Let your feet breathe (when you can)
Change damp socks quickly and wear breathable shoes or sandals post-race to prevent infection.
If your blister is painful, large, or looks red and inflamed, it’s best to get it checked — infection can set in quickly after long-distance running.
🏥 At Foot Medic™ Cardiff, our podiatrists can safely drain, dress, and protect blisters — and help you prevent them before your next event.
