          I seem to be developing the beginnings of turf toe…

          Anyone have any rehab/preventative ideas?

          I wrap my big toe everyday with athletic tape and sometimes the ball of my foot. I think I got it from over-striding in the past which I seem to do unless I focus on stepping down.

          Thanks. What about carbon fiber or plastic insoles with a stiff forefoot? Have you tried that? I think mine is being driven by doing accel and sprint work in flats that have a flexible forefoot.

          Matt, I had an acute injury to my sesamoid after college that was extremely painful. I tried some stiff forefoot inserts and it allowed me to train through the rehab. I would definetely give them a shot. I did a quick search and found the following site. https://indianabrace.com/ They look better than what my local podiatrist cooked up for me.

          Brendon – Thanks much. Appreciate it!

          Saw you’re entered down at the Master’s in NM. Do you do anything on Friday, or just Sat-Sunday?

          Looking forward to meeting you there.
