Rebecca Rushton, BSc, author of the Advanced Guide to Blister Prevention
Today I am pleased to welcome podiatrist Rebecca Rushton of Esperance Podiatry in Esperance, Australia, to the podcast. Without a doubt, Rebecca is one of the world's foremost experts on blisters!
Now if you've never struggled with a blister, then the information she has to share might not seem all that important. I believe however, that at some point in the future, each and every runner or endurance athlete will experience a blister, and probably at the worst possible time. What we can all learn from Rebecca could make the difference between a painful struggle to the finish line, or busting a new PR with a smile.
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).
