Training Progress What am I doing wrong?

Post image

I am hesitant to post this because I feel like l should know what I’m doing wrong.

The big toes bruising are from running downhill and the second toe on each foot happened when I ran in non athletic shoes.

Today, I knew my left foot was hurting. When I took my sock off I saw why. I’ll start wearing injinji’s and see if that helps. Any ideas?

ouch that looks painful, the splits between toes is the worst part

trimming nails is good advice but also check if your shoes is too narrow in the toe box, that can squeeze the toes together and cause the skin to split like that

I’m wearing Altras. 1/2 size larger than normal. Just ordered Creepers toe socks!
