I’ve been running 10 years and I’ve never fallen over. Until yesterday. I’d done my run, stopped my watch and then realised I was running late (literally). So I started sprinting home, and then saw a rail, so slowed down a little with the aim to jump over it, but misjudged my foot completely and I fell over the rail.
I was so embarassed and a bit shaken up. I checked, it was just a bump and graze, thank goodness. My hand was stinging and I have a slight, sore bump on the leg that hit the rail (!).
I looked around and thought there were no cars, no one had seen me. Until I looked the opposite direction and a car was approaching slowly. I thought they were going to roll the window down and check I was okay (after being on the floor 2 seconds ago).
Nope. They just drove on.
So I picked my headphones up off the floor; luckily my phone was still in my running vest so not damaged. I put my headphones back on, and carried on running (slower this time).
The lesson here, is that sprinting after you’ve finished running is just not worth it.
I told the story on Tiktok because I felt so silly about it and wanted to show that even experienced runners… fall over sometimes!
