Official 1,000 mile WR attempt by Nedd Brockman live discussion thread. Can he break the 10 day, 10 hours record?

Who are these autists derailing the thread? Do any of you have jobs? As someone who couldn't care less about ultrarunning, is it too much to ask to be able to open a thread out of curiosity and get an update?

Update anyone? Whats the distance last 24 hours?

He was at around 860km when he went back out after a short break a few hours ago. He was limping quite badly and disappeared and hasn't been seen since. There have been rumours going around that he's not in a good way

Also your resident running investigator Will was quite dramatically booted from the livestream chat receiving an on air dressing down by one of the guys running the show which caused quite the commotion in the comments. It's really been quite an entertaining spectacle for a guy running in circles.

He's at 886km. Hasn't run for a couple of hours and on the live chat it's been mentioned he won't be running again tonight

There is no point arguing with Will. The undiagnosed autism is evident.

As a neutral he's excellent value

Will is a cantankerous old git that seems to enjoy rubbing people up the wrong way.
And what makes it even worse is that 99% of the time he’s right.

I've got this one wrong I fear... had him pegged for 750. But no sign for hours and apparently the screams from the tented village sounded like the chamber of horrors.

Yes, funny that I was kicked out of the live chat, just as the rabble were starting to warm to me, and my humour and self-deprecation. There is now a "free Cockerell" and "free the spaniel" movement. It was stated it was for disgusting language because I explained I had been away for a few hours because I had been romping with my cocker on the common. Problem?

Ironic as NB is without doubt the foulest mouthed individual I've ever come across. He seems to have a tic of shouting the F-word before beginning every sentence. And how many times does he have to tell his detractors not to "sh*t down his throat?"

This has all been superb evidence of what happens when a runfluencer does a multiday without cheating. WG looked like an effortless movie star throughout, never with a scratch on him. If we listed NBs problems we'd get to 20 quickly, and a dozen have been real bad. Even on day 2 he had an emergency order for upgraded loo paper.

Will be interesting to see if he comes back into the fray.

Glad someone else commented on Nedd's behaviour. Spent parts of the 2023 Sydney marathon around him as I was pacing the 3 hour group and his language and conduct was disgusting. From the frequent and loud F and C bombs, to the s*x jokes and commenting on the looks of people in the crowd, it was embarrassing to be in his presence.

Surrounded by tongue-biters and enablers

Bad preparation, shockingly inappropriate goal. Awful coaching, athlete without focus, odd nutrition,.miraculous physiotherapist deserves credit.

It's been very entertaining, I hope he can get walking for the next 3 .5 days and get a decent 10 day total.

for the coach to allow or encourage a 3.23 marathon first up, shows how many awful, mercenary coaches are out there. So many will have been so keen to get in with Nedd because of the vast sums being dumped on him and amazing exposure. But this coach has blood on his hands. He has wrecked him. 4.00 for the first marathon, absolute tops. And just cruise the day in 17, not clearly blowing up in 16.

Apparently they found a fracture in his tibia, had to call it quits

I hope that's not true, for a myriad of reasons, but if there is, I hope he has called it. Great f***in' red hot go, to paraphrase Nedd

There were people claiming he was running on stress fractures back in day 2..

He must be done tho, hasn’t been out for ten or so hours.

No, he is back out as at 0655

jesus

To be fair mate you called him soft at a particularly sensitive moment for his team to tolerate, when he was struggling a lot before he disappeared for the night (he's since returned to the track as of 5min ago). The rabble were most definitely not warming to you. There were a few individuals who enjoyed the chaos you brought with you but don't let that get to your head

Only 723k to go in less than 3.5 days.
Shouldn't be a problem with his attitude ;-)

How's he looking?
