Welcome to another gear review at TrailRunnerNation. Scott, today we're setting very near and dear to my heart. Many people know I have foot problems when I run long races. Or anybody that's running around you at least knows. They don't, because I'm usually whining and crying. But I a a chronic problem with heel blisters on longer runs I the whole heel pad will blister up and on both both feet. It is quite a sight It is it's and it's a fun three-week recovery after one of those those races But we were contacted by foot kinetics about this new product they have called Run Goo.

And why wouldn't you want to try something called Run Goo? Well, just the name in itself would make you want to reach in and try some. So, of course, I'm always looking for a fix because I have not been able to find your solution except taping does help. I spend a lot of time on taping. But so we tried this stuff, and it's really kind of a neat little product. It has a high percentage of, they call hard waxes in this. If you just take the bottle and kind of move it around, it's a pliable substance, but it's pretty thick. And in fact, I made the mistake when I first opened this. It doesn't come out real quick because it's pretty thick. I squOs and I squOs and I squOs and blew out the back of the seal on the back of the tube. It has this neat little applicator. You take the top off and it has these little dimples on here. You squeeze it it out and you kind of massage that into your your problem area whether it's in the toes or in the heel in my case and you just really Lathered on there and then you put your sock on real loosely Mm-hmm, and then you go out and run and the cool thing is it stays on your foot. It doesn't You know the majority of it doesn't absorb into your foot. It doesn't get washed away when you're crossing the streams. And it seems to work really, really well. So did you find that that lathering it up thick like this created a, did it attract gravel or dust or did some debris that might be around your foot? Did you notice anything like that? No that? No, I've used some other creams on my feet and it seems to soak through the sock. And then when you get debris in your shoe between your shoe and your sock, yeah, it just kinda gets all, it's a mess. The one thing I noticed about this is when I was done running, it didn't leave a mess. In fact, I took my sock off and it washed out

the sock really easy and it was still on my foot. Good. Well, now Scott, I didn't put any on my feet. I put some in other areas. I put between the thighs groin area, typical spot floor. Did? Well, yeah. Did I know that? You did that with my bottle? I have no. I have my own bottle. Okay, okay, okay. I thought you were doing that with my mom. No, that's that's like gonna get grossed out

That's like what to get grossed out.

That's like what's that drinking the milk out of the refrigerator so nobody else gets it? Yeah, that's taboo. So, underneath the arms, you know, right on the side, but with a lap muscle in the part of the triceps. So instead of using, you know, those other glide type products. replaced it with that and and so that's really the two spots the nipples good

place to put to, I mean just to try to prevent some of that chafage that could happen. So those troubled areas, and I found the same thing you did, don't thick. It has that waxy type of sensation to it, now that you said that. It has some longevity. So I give it to thumbs up. Yeah, I am looking forward to doing some long trail runs and races later and see if this is the cure. But it comes in a couple different sizes. You can get a 5.5 ounce tube for 1699. They do have a starter size. So if you just wanna try this out and see what it's like, you can get that a three ounce tube for $9. Very good. And just in closing Scott, there are certain things we can do on the trail that just make it doable, that make it possible. There's nothing that is, hurts more and more irritating than some chafeeage that happens. It can really ruin a trail run. Even if your stomach's working and everything else is working. If you're chafing in spots where you don't want it, it can make it miserable. I like to say it's a memory maker so that that run continues for two or three weeks while you nurse your blisters back to health.

Is that right?

I'd rather take photos and not have the blisters.
