Exposed nail bed

OK part of my nail ripped off and then had to be cut as ragged edge was cutting adjacent toe. Nailbed is now exposed.

Went to GP today who said fine to run unless painful but get it dressed. Nurse put iodine dressing and then dressing on top which makes it huge! She gave me a supply of dressings so can redress it myself.

Was meant to be running today but given that a miss as whatever I do dressing would have to changed after my post run shower. However thinking of doing it tomorrow but should I run with dressing or take it off and just stick a plaster on for run so less bulky. I would try and avoid puddles wherever possible and clean and re-dress on return from run.

Any thoughts?
