Run faster. Paint your toenails.
I painted my toenails a few days ago to hide a large bruise underneath one of my big toe. I ran faster that day. Painted toes are faster toes! This was in my minimalist trail shoes. Tested with both Merrell and Skora. Next up is to try painted toenails in Newton shoes on the track. That may be the speediest combo yet. Now I have to get some nail polish remover.
