The Body Glide Trick Every Summer Runner Should Know
Friction plus moisture plus heat equals blisters — and summer training hits all three. The fix is breaking the friction part of that chain before the run starts. A swipe of lubricant (Body Glide, petroleum jelly, anti-chafe balm) on known hot spots before you lace up prevents the rubbing that creates blisters in the first place. Apply it between the toes, on the heel, and anywhere a sock seam sits.
