How many toe nails did VLM take off?

Scourge of the distance runner can be the blackened toes. How are yours

One came detached down half of one side but that's it in 4 marathons. I do cut them about a week before and put a few layers of nail varnish on them. The half-detached one happened the only time I didn't put nail varnish on them.

Never lost a toe nail in 10+ years of running and 27 marathons, some do, some don't.

three. nails on both little toes going - one black, one 'mobile' when touched. Morton's toes, so get more damage than big toes - one second toe swelled up like a cherry tomato, then my four year old stood on and it burst all over the carpet. Whole top and end of toe hanging by a flap of skin, including the toenail. Will Definitely look for a gel protector from Boots. Thank goodness for the RF forum.

Flat Foo.ted,
27 marathons? That's amazing! I thought 1 was tough enough! What was your favourite?
I'm about to lose a nail from Brighton Marathon, he's hanging in there but it won't be long!
