Hi Johnathan
you have my sympathies when it comes to blisters, I often struggle to get the right socks for running. We recently did an article on a product which may assist you in that area - Foot Conditioner
as for the side cramp .. try to avoid milk especially before long training sessions, lactose intolerance is often an ailment of runners.
sometimes a strain after cramps can take quite a while to go away and can be felt for many a week after the initial discomfort.
you seem to have sufficient time to prepare for the August 10k, so let's start with a new cycle of 2000's this Thursday
go back to what you were doing originally for this next 3 week cycle, so as to avoid any problems and then after an assessment in 3 weeks we can aim at the 10k race
How does this sound?
Cheers
