Sara Davies suffers painful knee injury after crashing to the floor whilst running
Sara Davies has been left with cuts and broozes on her knee after she fell whilst out running a 10K on Friday (11.07.25) morning as part of her training for the 2025 AJ Bell Great North Run.
Sara Davies' knee is battered bloodied after she took a "nasty" crash to the floor whilst out running.
The Dragons' Den tycoon has been left with a big bruise and cuts and grazes after falling to the ground after tripping over a curb "about 7K" into her 10k run.
Writing over a photo of her injury that was shared to her Instagram Stories on Friday (11.07.25), she said: "I did have a nasty tumble about 7K in - my head was somewhere else and I tripped over the curb and went absolutely flying - I tried to run it off but I think I'm gonna know about that later when the adrenaline wears off... (sic)"
Before sharing the image of her painful-looking knee, Sara, 41, said how proud she was of her achievement during her training for the AJ Bell Great North Run - which takes place on September 7.
Captioning a photo of her looking smiley in her running gear on her Instagram Stories, the Strictly Come Dancing 2021 contestant, wrote: "Morning run done!
"Not gonna lie I struggled a bit this morning - til about 4K in and I hit my stride then.
"Almost gave in and took the shortcut home but told myself to get over it and keep going so I did and knocked out 10K so feeling proud of myself! (sic)"
Sara says running improves her mental health.
Captioning a photo of her running in May, which she shared on her Instagram account in May, Sara explained: "For the longest time, I thought running was just about getting ‘body fit’. But the more I run, the more I realise the real benefit is the mental fitness it gives me. The clarity. The space to think, process, and decompress.
"I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever faced a problem I couldn’t work through by lacing up and hitting the road. Running helps me figure things out — and that headspace is everything."
Sara took part in the 2024 AJ Bell Great North Run - of which the course starts in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and ends in South Shields - and she smashed her two-hour-and-30-minute run target by clocking off at the finish line in two hours and 17 minutes.
And the TV star is determined to do even better when running the 13.1-mile course on September 7.
She continued her post caption with: "Of course, the fitness gains are a huge bonus.
"People still ask if I’ve lost weight, and truthfully, it all started when I began training for the Great North Run two years ago.
"I trained harder last summer, smashed a time I was so proud of, and now I’m back at it again. Determined to do myself proud this year too."
