The author wrote alongside the photos in the post: "Happy New Year. Had a shocker this morning. Thought I'd end the year with a run. 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."
Joe - who is also known as the Body Coach - continued by telling his followers: "I had to hop back home on my other foot." He went on to describe the incident as a "setback" and discussed having gone to hospital over the injury.
He shared: "Anyway bit of a setback. Went to the hospital for an X-ray because I thought it was fractured. Good news is that it's not broken, just ligament damage." Teasing over his recovery, Joe added: "Codeine and ice for me today."
