Hi,
I'm just getting back into running, and am following a bridge to 10k app and all is going well. I try to run every other day, but with work commitments can't always do this so sometimes I run on two consecutive days. Every time I do this, I get blisters.
Should I use tape or plasters on the second day to avoid blisters?

Just running 2 consecutive days shouldn 't cause blisters if all is well with you socks and shoozies
Taping or plasters will help but sort out the cause and save yourself a fortune.
Lots of info on blisters here;

Thanks - I can't work out what's causing the blisters. I am wearing the same kit I've always worn (nothing new). I'll try new socks, thanks for the advice, much appreciated!
If you're wearing the same kit Clare and getting blisters then it probably is the kit which is causing them. Whereabouts on your foot are the blisters? Same place or different places? If you keep getting blisters on the same place then the skin there will need time to sort itself out and repair so tape for a while even if you do find more comfy socks
Anyhow, I apologise to Clare, you were after blister advice not a pointless argument. Hope it gets better quickly for you!
Tom Goon, I found your site useful and had a wander through it yesterday, advertising is low key, lots of opportunity for comment so thanks for sharing
