Joe Wicks, known as The Body Coach, injured his ankle while running on New Year's Eve and had to cancel a planned walk. He shared details of the injury and X-ray on Instagram.
Joe Wicks won’t be celebrating the New Year as planned after twisting his ankle during a run. The Body Coach star, 39, detailed his ‘shock’ injury on New Year’s Eve after going for a morning run in the dark and accidentally falling on his ankle. Fearing it was broken, he later went to the hospital for X-rays and discovered he had torn a ligament. It means Joe has now had to cancel a planned meet-up on January 1 for a walk around Virginia Lake.
He shared the news with his Instagram followers on Tuesday with a photo of him standing on crutches and his left leg in a boot, along with a photo of the X-ray showing his injured foot, ‘Happy New Year. Had a shocker this morning Thought I’d end the year with a run,’ he began. ‘Was feeling inspired and hit the road in the dark at 6am. As I ran around the corner I rolled my ankle on the grass and put all of my weight onto it. So painful. I had to hop back home on my other foot. Anyway bit of a setback.’ Joe than explained how he went to the hospital thinking it had been fractured but was told the ‘good news’ that it wasn’t broken but ligament damage instead. ‘Codeine and ice for me today,’ he said. Announcing the cancelled walk, Joe continued: ‘Unfortunately this means I won’t be able to do my planned 5km walk around Virgina Lake tomorrow morning. So sorry I can’t make it. I was really looking forward to it. ‘I’ll plan another one there as soon as I can. If you know anyone who was planning on coming along can you please tag them below or let them know today. I’m worried they won’t see it and will turn up. ‘Thank you. Have a happy new year everyon
