What can I do about this for running?
I wore new sneakers with short socks to run. I didn't realize until 2.5 miles that the backs of both of my ankles w ere bleeding through the lining of my sneakers from rubbing up and down as I ran. Now they hurt when anything touches them because I rubbed off so many layers of skin. I have been wearing band-aids during the day and letting them dry at night but so far it has been 3 days and they aren't much better. I want to run today. Is there anything aside from bandaids that I can put over the cuts so I don't do more damage but can still run? I don't care about the pain, just doing more damage. I want them to heal so I can just run normal again. Suggestions?
Answers:
you may want to wear higher socks to keep your shoes from rubbing, and tie the shoes a little tighter at your ankle.
Stop wearing those sneakers and run with a different pair.
Try leaving on the band-aids but putting on 2 pairs of tall tube socks
Wear socks with a little higher cuff on them, they may not be as stylish, but it should help in conjunction with a band aid.
I want to RUN safely. I am old. What are the things I should do to start?
DUH ! C'mon Casey, don't go blond on us now. Give your heels a chance to heal up totally otherwise you risk maximum infection and that's much worse than what you have now. There are products out there like Nu-Skin or some such which you should use but only to protect the damage and let it heal.I know it's painful not running, but doing more damage just ain't smart. Good Luck
Anyone use nike plus? do you like it?
Dun run outdoors today."Run" in the gym.
Which of these brands of running shoe do you prefer? What model?
New shoes should not need breaking in, and either fit or don't fit. I am not sure why you had this problem if the shoes feel good. It may have been the socks. You can use the mole skin and try some New Skin dressing on your feet. The injury needs to heal, or it may become infected and you will have more problems.Anyone knows the tablets that improves the stamina of an athletes?
They really need to heal completely before you do that again, and then next time wear higher socks.Is running with a fan blowing on you bad?
Have you ever been properly sized for your shoes. If you have alocal running store they can help. Also if you don't tie your shoes properly they are moving to much on your feet.
sounds like your shoes are a size or 2 too large. Have you tried running with no socks? I know many who will only run that way.
Is a 11.3 a good 100 time for a 14 Year old?
wear higher socks..you dont have to buy new shoes just check them next time your runningOUCH! I'd have to say letting the cuts dry at night is NOT a good idea. You need the skin to fuse back together and heal properly. Band-aids are fine but put Neosporin on them, a lot of it! Neosporin works the best, believe me. Change the band-aids daily and make sure the cuts are cleaned thoroughly in the shower. You might want to take a few days off running so the cuts don't get worse.
Hope you feel better!
What is your best race and why?
When the skin has partially healed (i.e. no open wound), put some vaseline on it to prevent chaffing / blistering. You may want to analyze why the shoe is rubbing (too tight, too loose, insuffcient sock cover, etc..). On long runs, I usually use Vaseline, BodyGlide, SportSlick, or some other gel to reduce the friction on feet, arms, and other areas. It may sound silly...but it works. Until it heals, just load up on the firat aid cream / band aid and maybe even try putting a piece of moleskin over it to let it heal. Good luck!- Mike
