Running - How to prevent blisters

Tips on preventing blisters when running
When I started to run long distance races and training runs, I struggled a lot with blisters between my toes.
After I got tired of blisters I decided to try something new to prevent blisters,  I found that seem less socks worked the best.
With the seem less socks I also through baby powder inside the sock and over my toes.
It worked like a bom!!!! Even after the comrades marathon I had no blisters on my toes!!!
So my tip to prevent blisters is seem less socks and baby powder. I also heard that vasilene works very good to prevent blisters!
Happy running

2. After 10min jog start to time 3.15min stil at easy pace
3. After 3.45min is gone, sprint the next 45sec at 5km race pace
4. After the 45sec at 5km race pace, relax back to easy jog
5. Jog again for 3.15min then again 45sec at 5km race pace
6. Repeat this fartlek for 10 times
7. Jog easy 10min to cool down
8. Then you just had a quality 1hour training sesion.

This is a nice training for getting back your speed, endurance and fitness.
