one on my left foot, and one that’s black on my right foot. are my shoes a bad fit or does this happen to everyone occasionally?
Happens to me lots, pretty much every marathon I run I loose a few. It is a pretty common occurance.
It's been happening to me for over 25 years whenever I run a marathon. I ran Boston a few years ago with all it's downhills . Now I don't have nails one my little toes and after the race I had eight black or swollen with water toenails. I lost them all.
Every year… 2nd toe… Nail turns black early in the season as soon as I start doing some speed work… Just fell off last weakend and I can see the one growing beneath it will fall off before I grow yet another…
Common
If I’m not missing at least two toenails it means I’m not running enough.
your shoes are too small.
Yeah, your shoes can bruise the nail bed. I size up 1 full size for my running shoes. Ijust lost a toenail last weekend and couldn’t figure out why, until I remember smashing it on a ski trip 4 months ago…kj
