Yep getting fit can be bad for your health - tales of an ideot runner!

[Hated2Run]

Struggling with form lately and thanks to all the support with that but have to share my latest act of ideocy!- so after running shorter and slower for the last month I decided to try faster then if OK run a bit longer - so last run 28 mins for 5k and some walking etc to make the distance after so overall not so bad and a pb for 6k! BUT.. today went out and tried the same - ran 5k in 27.5 which I am quite proud of, had a min walk then started again but a bit slower - all looking good when my crummy music app packed up - looked down to sort it then when I looked up again I cracked my head on a low canal bridge - flattened me and the force made me bite down and crack some shards off at least two teeth!

Motto - concentrate on your running and not these ridiculous mobile phone which now dominate all our lives!

Hear, hear! Put it in a zipped pocket and forget about it.

Ouchy my towpath is littered with low Bridges and my 6'1" makes ducking instinctive but I feel for your teeth 🤕

Great your run was going good , not so great for your head and teeth.

Hope you are okay🤗

Sounds nasty - hope you have a good dentist!

OUCH! Hope you're ok and teeth not too badly damaged. I winced when I read your post.

Ouch, hope you are ok and can get your teeth checked out. Sounds like a good run until then.
