Masters On The Move

Broken Legs Back Running


Listen Later

At 64 years old, Dave Campbell is still running strong — with over 200 parkruns completed and a 5km best of 21:42.


But that’s only part of the story.


Dave has broken both legs in separate motocross accidents, requiring plates and screws. At times, those screws have even loosened while running — pushing against the skin.


And his resilience started young.


As a kid, Dave rode a bike that was far too big for him, pedalling under the crossbar. In winter, he filled the handlebars with hot water to stop his hands freezing. To avoid embarrassment, he left the bike near school and walked the rest of the way.


This episode is about adversity, creativity, consistency, and what keeps us moving as we age.
