Can You Run With A Broken Toe? The Expert’s Take

It’s happened to most of us: you get up in the middle of the night, stumble to the bathroom in the dark, and then wham—you accidentally smash your barefoot toe into the wall. The next morning, the toe is black and blue and throbs with a constant reminder of the mishap from the previous night.

Now what? Can you run with a broken toe?

Unfortunately, a broken toe is rather common. In most cases, a broken toe is not a running injury per se, as runners usually break a toe doing something other than running. However, a broken toe can absolutely impact your ability to run and interfere with your training.

With that said, running with a broken toe is possible in some cases as long as you take certain precautions.  In this guide, we’re going to look at:

• Can You Run With a Broken Toe?

• When Can You Start Running With a Broken Toe?

• Can You Run With a Broken Big Toe?

• Can You Run With a Broken Pinky Toe?

• Risks of Running With a Broken Toe

• Tips for Running With a Broken Toe

• What Cross-Training Can Runners Do With a Broken Toe?

• Tips for Rehabbing a Broken Toe

• What Can You Do to Heal a Broken Toe Faster?

Ready? Let’s jump in!

To learn about running with a broken toe, we spoke with Giancarlo Sossi, a Physical Therapist and Co-Director of Thrive Physio Plus in Australia, who specializes in rehabilitation and physio exercises for runners.

He helped us answer the ever-important question—Can you run with a broken toe?—and gave actionable advice about doing so.

Can You Run With a Broken Toe?

Sossi says that depending on what stage of healing you are in and which toe is broken, you may be able to run with a broken toe. 

“If you have significant pain while walking, chances are you won’t be able to run,” notes Sossi. “However, if your pain is mild and tolerable when running, as well as your pain settling back down to baseline after 24 hours, with no further inflammatory response, you could continue to run.”

In other words, start with the walk test. If your toe hurts walking, you should not run.

If walking feels okay, try easy running. If running with a broken toe only elicits a mild increase in pain, and that increase returns to baseline by the next day, you should be able to run.

Of course, listen to your body though, and err on the side of caution, particularly in the initial stages of the injury.

When Can You Start Running With a Broken Toe?

Most runners want to jump immediately back into running after breaking a toe, but this isn’t always the wisest move for the long term.

“A broken toe usually takes 4-8 weeks to heal, depending on how bad the break is,” explains Sossi. “To be on the conservative side, waiting until you can run without or with very minimal pain (less than a 1-2/10 intensity) is the way to go.”

While this advice is certainly the best practice when it comes to answering the questions, can you run with a broken toe, it’s not absolute.

“If you’re desperate to run or have an event that you absolutely need to train for, and want to take on the risks of running with a broken toe, a general rule is to start to run when the pain is tolerable,” says Sossi, who adds that for most people, this is around a 4-5/10 on a pain scale.

Can You Run With a Broken Toe (Big Toe)?

Running with a broken toe is not advisable when you break your big toe. “Your big toe acts as a lever from which to propel yourself forward when running as well as being a strong stabilizer of the foot,” explains Sossi. “Therefore, a break in your big toe presents the greatest challenge to being able to run.”

A broken big toe will impact your running form and compromise your ability to push off. Ultimately, if you have to shuffle along to prevent irritating the toe, you may alter your biomechanics and increase your risk of further injury, even elsewhere in the body.

Can You Run With a Broken Toe (Pinky Toe)?

The pinky toe is one of the most frequently broken toes. While it plays an important role in balance, the pinky toe has minimal involvement in weight-bearing. As such, running with a broken pinky toe, or other lesser toes is often feasible. 

According to Sossi, “Although the other toes are important, they aren’t as crucial to the mechanics of running as your big toe, so you may actually be able to return to running quicker if they are broken.”

Risks of Running With a Broken Toe

Before you lace up your shoes and head out for your run, you should consider the risks of running with a broken toe.  

Sossi says the risks of running on a broken toe include exacerbating the break, delaying healing time, and causing other injuries higher up your leg  (ankle, knee, hip, and even low back) due to altering your running stride. 

Tips for Running With a Broken Toe

If you’ve determined that you can run with your broken toe but you’d like to do it as safely and painlessly as possible, Sossi has a few tips:

Buddy Tape the Broken Toe

“When running with a broken toe that isn’t your big toe, you can ease the discomfort and spread the load away from your injured toe, by buddy taping your toes together,” advises Sossi.

Buddy taping involves using medical tape to adjoin your broken toe with the healthy adjacent toe. For example, if you’re trying to run with a broken pinky toe, wrap the pinky toe together with the ring finger toe. 

Buddy taping lends stability to the broken toe, minimizes any loss of balance, and helps reduce unnecessary movement. It reduces pain and can give the broken toe the stability it needs to heal.

Return to Running Conservatively

Sossi says you should start back to running gradually, erring on the side of being overly conservative until you assess how your toe handles running and recovers afterward.

“An example of this would be starting with half the distance you would normally run or running for 1 minute on, 1 minute off, and monitor how your toe responds in the 24 hours afterward,” explains Sossi.

“If your pain is no worse and there isn’t an increased inflammatory response (increased swelling and redness), then that would be a good distance or time to start building from,” he adds. “If your symptoms are increased as a result, you should reduce your time/distance.”

What Cross-Training Can Runners Do With a Broken Toe?

Whether you’re unable to go running with the broken toe or want to cut back and supplement with alternative exercise, low-impact cross-training with a broken toe is a safer way to keep up your fitness while your broken toe heals.

Examples of good cross-training exercises when rehabbing a broken toe include cycling, swimming, aqua jogging, and elliptical, although any form of exercise is fine as long as the activity doesn’t elicit pain.

Sossi adds that anti-gravity treadmills, such as the Alter-G, are a great way to keep your mileage up in a healthier and less painful way.

As Sossi explains, “These machines use differential pressure to reduce your body weight and therefore load on your joints, which may be enough to allow you to run with a broken toe when you otherwise wouldn’t.”

Tips for Runners to Rehab a Broken Toe

Unfortunately, bone healing takes time and there isn’t much even the most dedicated runner can do to expedite healing a broken toe.

However, as with any injury—as well as when you are healthy—you can and should—strength train. 

“Keeping the muscles around your foot, ankle, and calf as strong as possible when injured, will ensure that your performance suffers as little as possible when starting running again,” explains Sossi. “Strength training is also research-proven to significantly improve running performance and reduce injury risk in runners.”

What Can You Do to Heal a Broken Toe Faster?

Sossi says there are other things you can do to speed up the healing process of a broken toe, including fueling your body with good nutrition, getting adequate sleep, and reducing your alcohol intake. 

When considering nutrition for healing, ensure you are getting enough calories, plenty of protein, and bone-building micronutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K, magnesium, and phosphorus. 

He also urges runners to listen to their bodies and exercise patience in healing and returning to running. 

“If you try to return to running too soon, you take on the risk of making your injury worse and consequently missing out on more running further down the track,” warns Sossi.

So, when trying to decide if you can go running with a broken toe, consider which toe is broken, how much it hurts, and whether you can run with minimal pain without compromising your form.

When in doubt when answering the question can you run with a broken toe, give the body a week or so to heal, then reassess. Cross-train and strength train, eat well, get your sleep, and take care of your body in the meantime. You’ll get out there again soon.

Here are some crosstraining options you can try out until you are healthy and ready to run again:

Breaking money | Article

The word “breaking” is used by the perpetrators of this fraudulent operation to mean an imperceptible fold and the withdrawal of several banknotes during recounting. Recounting money for any purchase or exchange is almost always completely straightened banknotes and their open account. After recalculation, a pack of again straightened banknotes is transferred to the participant in the transaction. The task of the performer is to secretly “break” several of the straightened banknotes and steal them from the just counted bundle. But after all, a person whom they decided to deceive in this way can simply count the bills handed over to him again. In order to “cheer up” the intended victim, the performer puts on a small performance. He immediately gives the victim the entire wad of money without counting them. Say, everything is exactly “like in a pharmacy”. Naturally, the person who received his money will have the right to count it. He does it. When recalculating banknotes, it turns out that one banknote is still not enough to reach the required amount. Just one, but not enough. The performer, with an air of offended innocence, “… how is it?”, in front of the victim, counts the entire bundle of banknotes himself. This is true. One bill is missing. You need to add the missing bill. The performer reaches into his pocket with his hand, takes out the missing banknote and, adding it to the pack, gives the money to the victim. Nothing special. Well, the man miscalculated, and then honestly added the missing bill. And the victim, as a rule, does not count the received bundle of banknotes for the third time. Satisfied with the completion of the transaction, its participants disperse. But in this case, only the performer of this operation can be satisfied, since the victim will later find out that not one, but several banknotes will be missing in the bundle. The performer deftly “broke” these bills and stole them from the pack. Let’s consider his actions in more detail.

Having received from the intended victim the banknotes counted by her with a claim that there is not enough money, the perpetrator (perplexity itself) begins to count the money himself in front of the victim, focusing all his attention on the count of banknotes. A bundle of banknotes is in the left hand. With the thumb of the left hand, the performer shifts the top banknote of the pack to the right (photo 1) and passes it to his right hand (photo 2).

Then the next top bill of the pack is separated in the same way and passed to the right hand in the same way. But here the performer puts this bill not on top of the just counted bill, but under it. The third bill and all subsequent ones are counted in this way: the next bill is placed under the just counted bill (photo 3). The usual careless and open counting, no ostentatious dexterity. But during the counting of money, the performer imperceptibly places the little finger of his right hand between, for example, the fifth and sixth counted banknote, forming a “break” (photo 4).

The little finger of the right hand will separate several bills that the performer plans to steal from the rest of the stack of bills. With a careless counting of money, bills will not be able to fit into a more or less even pile, but will lie slightly shifted (photo 5). And the performer, after counting, trims the edges of the bills with his freed left hand (photo 6).

At some point, the hands aligning the bills go up and the victim sees only the bottom bill of the pack. At this time, the performer agrees with the victim that one banknote is really not enough and at the same time performs the actions of “breaking” several banknotes prepared for this. The little finger of the right hand must be bent to the palm, and thus the left long edge of the stack of banknotes, which will be stolen from the pack, rises. The tip of the thumb of the right hand is immediately superimposed on this edge in the middle (photo 7) and bends the bills in half to the right (photo 8).

The thumb of the left hand quickly moves under the bent bills and bends them again, but this time downwards. The thumb of the right hand is superimposed on the upper edge of the “broken” bills (photo 9). The fingers of the left hand separate the entire bundle of straightened banknotes to the left, and the right hand with the “broken” banknotes held secretly moves into the pocket of a jacket or trousers (photo 10), supposedly to look for the missing banknote there.

The left hand is lowered to the level of the abdomen, and the victim again sees the top bill of the pack. The right hand of the performer, leaving “broken” banknotes in his pocket, takes out one banknote missing to the required amount and, straightening it, carefully places it on top of the bundle of banknotes in his left hand, after which the entire bundle of money is transferred to the victim. Most often, such a psychological “hook” works and the victim does not count the money received, because he is sure that now everything is in order. To successfully complete this fraudulent operation, the performer needs not only acting skills and confident skills to quickly “break” and withdraw banknotes, but also an accurate calculation of the speed of execution of individual elements of the entire technical action. Dai Vernon, Fred Caps, and many other magicians have successfully used “breaking” techniques in combination with “fake counting” techniques in their bill tricks. The viewer had the impression that the banknotes magically either increase or decrease their number.

Feeling the touch from St. Petersburg to Paris: a film about blind people was shown in the Blagosfera

News

Director Grigory Glyants presented on November 29 at the cinema club of the Blagosfera Center his work “Blind Cinema” – about the joint journeys of people with and without visual impairments.

11 countries in 51 days

For the filming of the film , Grigory Glyants went on one of the sea trips carried out by the White Cane movement under the Sails of the Spirit project. Sighted and blind people participate together in expeditions and regattas. Anyone can apply to participate. To do this, you need to shoot a video about yourself and send it to the organizers. Terms of participation here.

“I found out about these people by chance,” the director of the film said. — I made a film about handbikers, people who make bike attachments in wheelchairs and can go fast. They called me to shoot them on a trip, they told me that there are blind people who swim in the sea.”

According to the organizers of the expedition, the participants of the trip, about which the film was made, traveled 51 days from St. Petersburg to Paris. They visited 11 countries and went to meetings, master classes, concerts, workshops in European cities.

The blind blindfolded their neighbors for a time to show how they “see” the ship and the sea. Sometimes the viewers are also blindfolded – the picture is blurred, only sounds remain.

The Sails of the Spirit project has existed since 2011. It was started by the co-founder of White Cane Oleg Kolpashchikov , a completely blind person, and Sergey Burlakov , who has no arms and legs. As a result, the project was transformed into a kind of personal development training. “We realized that everyone who participates in the project is starting to change their lives, go to work, study,” said Oleg Kolpashchikov, one of the members of the Sails of the Spirit crew.

From the Ministry of Defense to “Sails of the Spirit”

One of the main “heroes” of the documentary – Marc Offran , vice-president of the French Association of the Blind. Valentina Guyu. Mark has been blind since childhood. Before retirement, he worked with statistics in large organizations and departments, including the French Ministry of Defense. After retiring, he was invited to the French Association of the Blind, and soon he became a member of the Sails of the Spirit expedition.

“We met him in Latvia at a round table, I invited him to Russia,” recalls Kolpashchikov. – He came in the winter, to Epiphany, we bathed him in the hole. He then said: in the north of France, our lakes also freeze, but it never occurred to anyone to swim in them. Then he came to Sails of the Spirit.

During the four years of his acquaintance with White Cane, Mark visited 16 regions of Russia. Now he conducts master classes at schools for the blind and at conferences.

Safe sports

“Sailing seems terribly extreme, dangerous. But in 10 years of trips, we have only two broken little fingers from injuries, and then on the shore. This is the safest type of expedition. The hardest part is not the storm. The most difficult thing is to interact with a person, to live and work in a confined space,” says Kolpashchikov.

Another extreme feature of such trips, according to Oleg, is preparing events on the go: “For half a year we were preparing a meeting in the Dutch Parliament, but there was bad weather, and we had to do a completely different event. But the blind have a special ability – tolerance for uncertainty. The situation has changed, and we are changing.”

Cooking shows and rock concerts

In addition to expeditions, White Cane organizes inclusive sailing festivals and sailing camps. Starting next year, such festivals will be held in the Saratov region, and the first inclusive regatta will be held in Chita.

According to Oleg Kolpashchikov, every year the movement makes an inclusive sailing camp in Armenia and held an inclusive rock festival in Yerevan for three years in a row.

“The blind cook well and we also do a cooking show. We show how we cook ourselves, and then we blindfold the person and tell him to try to do the same, ”added Oleg.

Now the White Cane has taken up environmental actions: people with disabilities clean up the banks. These actions intersect with the project of resocialization of people who overcome drug and alcohol addiction – they are attracted to participate in such events.

“We have shown that it is useful and correct to organize interaction with people with disabilities: in dancing, singing, cooking blindfolded. We try to make people without disabilities understand that interacting with people with disabilities brings them good,” said Oleg Kolpashchikov.
