Whether you’re a beginner or a professional runner, taking good care of your feet before and after running should be your focus. Here are a few things you can do to prevent feet pain or injuries.

Stretch Regularly

Stretching your feet on a regular basis will help you improve strength and flexibility and eventually prevent foot injuries. That’s why runners should take 10 minutes every day to do a few basic foot stretches.

The Right Footwear

The only thing you really need to invest in as a runner is a good pair of quality running shoes. Before you buy them make sure that they fit you perfectly, that they’re not too tight or loose, and this way you’ll avoid many potential injuries or blisters.

The Right Socks

Of course, wearing the right socks is also one of the ways to take care of your feet, so make sure to buy quality, light socks because they can really make running more enjoyable and less painful.

Recover

Going on long runs every single day is not good for your body, or your feet, because it takes some time to recover after every run. This way you can avoid any potential injuries and reduce muscle soreness.
