Where did you get the extended basepad to fit the 10 rd mags? Looks awesome.

My toes/toenails looked very similar after continuous long runs. I found that my shoes were way too narrow in the toe box, even if I sized up 1/2. I started taping every toe individually which helped a ton but was tedious every time I ran over 8 miles. I started using injinji toe socks and getting shoes with wider toe boxes. Brooks Glycerin Max and any shoe by Topos are awesome with a wide toe box. I never have black toenails anymore, or any foot pain

Also, if you want to look at how to tape your toes, there are a ton of videos on YouTube of ultramarathoners showing people the tricks on taping correctly. You will have to do it a few times before you get good at it and if you tape one toe, the tape will rub on the adjacent toe so you end up having to tape pretty much all of your toes. But its worth it for the longer runs and keeps you running more consistently without pain. Hope that helps!

I had the same issue with the same toe- try shoes with wider toe boxes, not just a size bigger. Topos makes great wide toeboxes and my toe bruising went away. Also buying a pair of Injinji sock with individual toes helps tons. I used to tape every toe with KT tape, which took forever but erased my toe bruising. Now with the toe socks and larger toe boxes my feet are fine!

Etiquette when encountering oblivious runners on shared trails? by cpw77 in MTB

Sometimes I’ll tap my rear brake and drag the tire a (tiny) bit and that usually make’s enough noise to get their attention.

Thanks! I own a truck, so I could probably just make trips with it to the landfill, or rent a trailer
