My big toes sprain easily because they are misaligned. It can be incredibly painful to run on.

If you want to run faster, your toes need to be more ostrich-like.

For what it's worth, I don't do any toe exercises, I don't stretch, I don't take care of my cuticles (I said CUTICLES) and I don't floss everyday. I like to live dangerously.

I have a really stiff big toe. AFAIK, it hasn't made a difference in my running, but some days it just doesn't want to bend.
Have you gone to the podiatrist to check it? Sounds like what I have which is basically arthritis in that toe.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.
