The miles you log matter, but so do the feet you log them on. A little preparation prevents the problems that derail training blocks.
The common culprits
Blisters, black toenails and heel pain rarely come from bad luck — they come from friction, shoes that are too small, or a biomechanical issue that builds up under load.
A pre-season foot MOT
Before ramping up mileage, it's worth checking nail length, skin condition and shoe fit. A biomechanical assessment can flag issues before they become injuries.
