Wear socks made of synthetic fibers that wick moisture away from your skin to help prevent blisters and athlete’s foot. For long distance running and long duration exercise, cotton is rotten. 2. Fit your running shoes or other sports shoes with the type of sock you intend to wear them with. Get fit each time you buy new shoes. 3. Don’t wear sandals when playing sports! Shoes (or barefoot where appropriate and safe) is a better bet. Barefoot beach volleyball, beach or groomed, safe, outdoor surface Frisbee, and running is just fine for many people. In general though, be careful when running or walking barefoot outside. Cuts and bee stings are not fun for your feet. 4. Build up to your longer distance training slowly. Consider running your long distance runs earlier than usual to avoid midday heat and pollution. 6. Break in new sport shoes before racing or using them for a long run or workout. 7. Use sunscreen to prevent solar injury to your skin. UVA and UVB protection are important. Don't forget your feet at the beach. Try to avoid mid-day exposure between the hours of 10am-2pm. Protect your eyes with UV safe glasses. 8. Don't forget to replace your fluids on long runs, but avoid overhydration on events over 4 hours. 9. Do wear sport specific running shoes. Running shoes do not have the lateral support needed for tennis. Help yourself avoid ankle sprains and other injuries and do fit your running shoes or other sports shoes with the type of sock you intend to wear them with. Do replace your running shoes often. Replace them at least every 350 - 450 miles run. 10. Be careful running in low light conditions both because of road traffic, uneven pavement and also be aware of increased balance problems.
