When a serious injury at the Tekapo Half Marathon threatened to end his running journey, Mark Anderson of Whangārei had every reason to hang up his shoes. But instead, he fought back — one careful step at a time.

In this episode of Masters on the Move, host Justin Hill sits down with Mark to explore how he rebuilt from that moment, returning to complete over 250 parkruns, the Rotorua Marathon, a 30km loop around Rarotonga, and many more events that define a life in motion.

In this conversation:

• The day everything changed at Tekapo
• How injury reshaped Mark’s mindset and training
• The role of the Whangārei parkrun community in his recovery
• Lessons on resilience, balance, and rediscovering joy in running

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, chasing your next milestone, or simply looking for motivation to stay active, this episode proves it’s never too late to start again.

Masters on the Move — real stories, real runners, real resilience.
