Running on a treadmill can be dangerous!!

So today I am at a hotel with a gym so I decided I'd do week 5 run 2 on the treadmill.

Went really well, completed both the runs, everything was well till i stepped off, my leg buckled, I lurched to the side and crashed my knee onto the next peice of equipment.

That never happens when I run outdoors!!!🤣

Ouch 😩 bet that hurt. Reminds me of a time when I saw someone trying to run backwards on a treadmill. Don't. Ask. But it didn't end well 🙄😭

Hope your knee's not injured and you can carry on. Well done for getting the run done anyway.

Yeah, stepping onto the path by the grass rarely hurts! 😂

Great job... hope that knee is fine.

Ouch! Did you have an audience?! I do hope your knees are ok. I have definitely had wobbly legs at the end of a hard run but thankfully the ground has stayed still so far...

That's when you put that "nothing to see here " face on and walk off as casually as possible 😂😂😂

Ooyah ! Bit of a You’ve Been Framed moment ? Hope there’s no lasting damage. All the best with 5:3. Stay safe out there x
