Nedd doesn't have the record. He's about 9 days off.

Photos and Strava. On top of that he had a good reputation as a good runner doing stuff in real races. Something Nedd does not have.If your friend Patrick has such a "good reputation" and proof, why does he have no records listed in FastestKnownTime?

He is not my friend, so I don't really know. He is French and doesn't speak much English. The FKT thing is more an American/English thing and it has gotten to a point where you can't take it too serious anymore.
Real records are run in real races on certified courses with accurate time/record keeping.201 -
From the tik tok live feed:

He’s had a tough night. He was said to be vomiting at around 3.30am but kept pushing.Now it says 295k , 27k to go for day 2.

What's the record for the slowest ever 1,000 miles? I've never seen a multi day runner walk at this pace. He is so poorly prepared.

It is an easy WR. All you have to do is a 15 hr jog per day at 9 minute mile pace. Then you can nap for 8 hours, which is plenty, and have an hour to eat pizza, coffee and cake, take a dump and chill
the WR should be easy, unless Bekele goes for it and puts it out of reach for everyone. I'm much better at longer stuff anyway, so I think I could do well in ultra's. There are many thousands of people who could also do it if they wanted. The main barrier is time and money.
I can't tell if you are joking or serious. 9 minute pace is pretty easy for most of us but the cumulative effect over several days is what knocks people out. Injuries, fatigue, nutrient deficits, sanity, and all kinds of unexpected issues pile on each other each day. You start missing the pace a little, so you sleep less, which slows you down more the next day, and then an injury slows you down more, and on and on.
Just because someone has a faster time than Yiannis in the marathon doesn't mean they have an edge in the 1000M. They are two different disciplines.

FKT is a fairly new website/organisation/phenomenon. They don’t have anything by Kouros on there, no?

4mph is not fast at all, it's all about just keeping going. Tortoise vs hare

I feel sorry for him, I just think he's a clueless kid. This whole thing was a circus from the start. More effort went into the publicity than the training. He needed a coach and team around him who kept his feet on the ground, not these clowns.

Publicity, sponsorships and tryingto scam his way into major marathons illegally (London 2024, Boston 2023). Fraud.

HI first day was roughly 16 hours and his second was 20 hours.
Does he get 100 miles on day three? Does it push out to 22hrs?

Need to change the title of the thread. I doubt Nedd was ever attempting to break Kouros' 1000 mile record, only attempting to use Kouros' achievement to leverage publicity.
I've only just glanced at this. Sounds like he ran the opening 100 miles fairly quickly and then called it quits for the day. Sub 15 hours? Is that correct?
A more experienced runner would've banked some more miles on day one. Kouros hit 231km on the opening day of his record run. Nedd has given Kouros a 70km start after 24 hours. He's even further adrift after the second day. There's no way Nedd is closing that sort of gap on Yiannis.
Nedd and his crew will learn they're way out of their league very soon. Unless they've known that all along, which is more likely.
If Nedd achieves 870km in 5 days and 15 hours, I'll be surprised, impressed and happy for him.
Anyone who knows a little about Aussie ultra running will know why I chose those numbers. Over 40 years ago, a 61 year old potato farmer won the inaugural Sydney to Melbourne Ultra to become a national sporting hero.
Sorry Nedd, my money is on Cliffy's ghost.

Kouros' rounded splits for his 1000 Mile WR, (10 days, 10 hours, 30 minutes in 1988).
24 hours: 231km / 144 miles
48 hours: 408 km /254 miles
1000km: 5 days, 20 hours.
6 Days: 1028 km / 639 miles.
Good luck chasing down that, Nedd!

He's running on and across the lane every bend. He can't run 15min without stopping. Cancel this farce

Ahhh, finally somebody who knows what I am talking about. I ran with a bunch of these Westfield race heros. Sydney - Melbourne. What a race that was.

I've had half an eye on the live stream for a couple of hours. At times it looks like Brockmann is going well. Also times when it looks like he's falling apart. When he's running he appears to be moving efficiently. However when he switches to walking there's a noticeable limp.
Running laps in lane 1 are taking about 2:20. Sounds pretty good to me. The lane 1 walking laps are taking about 4:25. I'd say he's walking 50% of the time he's actually moving.
I've also seen multiple stops. Including 2 vomit stops. A 10 minutes lay down on the track during which someone laid a jacket over him. I've seen him leave the track twice, presumably for toilet breaks. His lane discipline is poor. Often on the line or slightly inside it. Definitely a DQ in any track race.
Unless there's impartial observers there's no verification here. He's often out of sight of the cameras. Sometimes they follow him. Other times they're showing the wrong part of the track.170 -
Someone on the crew needs to call this. It’s clear he’s not going to get it done and at this point it’s turning into a clown show.

I like to point out that Nedd is doing really well considering his abilities.
From my experience and observation, day 3 is were things fall apart quickly. I would be surprised if he comes close to 100 miles on day 3.
The false expectations he set up for his fans might bring him down.20 -

Does he really have fans? I read somewhere something along the lines that he captivated the nation. Another place called him a "cult hero." I guess his initial run did raise $2 million and there was a film made about it for some reason (it's not like it was a record).
This one isn't raising much money.
