"Foot Care" by John Vonhof |
|
JOHN VONHOF, FOOT GURU: Ultra runners, adventure racers, triathletes, and especially Badwater Runners should know the life, work, and insights which John Vonhof has to share on the subject of feet, shoes, and foot care. He's literally written the book on the subject, "Fixing Your Feet." John has also been an important member of the Badwater Race Staff in recent years and I'm sure that many runners can give thanks to John for allowing them to finish the race when their feet had other ideas in mind. John also maintains a very informative blog which all athletes should consult regularly. |
