Runners, Should You Be Seeing A Podiatrist?

My feet are gross. I've run 6 marathons and clocked up thousands of miles in training, and my feet have borne the brunt of this. I've lost toenails (see how to avoid losing your nails in this blog), had countless blisters, a corn, and there's been less than impressive...
