After placing 2nd in Canada’s biggest marathon, the BMO Vancouver Marathon, Lindsay Lamrock noticed she wasn’t alone in battling Runner’s Toe, a painful condition caused by blood buildup under the toenail from intense running.

In her viral video, she shares a simple but effective method to relieve the pressure. Using a heated paperclip or notebook coil, she carefully melts a tiny hole in the toenail, allowing the trapped blood to escape. Though painful, the process instantly relieved pressure, transforming her toenail from purple-blue back to its normal tone.

Lindsay Lamrock placed 2nd place in Canada’s biggest marathon - BMO Vancouver Marathon.

During the marathon, in fairly new shoes, her toes were damaged from the shoes/running really fast. This video shows how to relieve the pain when there is blood built up under the toenail.

Using a paper clip (or what we used - an old notebook coil), heat it up real hot and melt a hole in the toenail for the blood to escape..
