Most runners inevitably deal with these minor issues - blisters, black toenails, chafing, and more. They aren’t full injuries, but they certainly are inconvenient and uncomfortable. We guide you through how to prevent these, how to treat them, and if you can run through them when they happen.  

In this episode, you’ll learn how to deal with:

• Calf cramps

• Blisters

• Chafing

• Black toenails
