Exactly, you guys should be thanking Nedd. Before this, 99.99% of the population had never heard of Kouros. Now he’s getting the mainstream recognition he deserves.
In the same way that no one outside of this obscure corner of the internet had ever heard of Will Cockerell. And now he is getting widespread recognition of being that complete and utter f***wit that paid to fly halfway across the world to harass a bloke doing a run for cancer.
Can I get the juice or pain killers he has? He is walking around the track now like a guy who has slept for 8 days. I've not seen one finisher of Comrades walking so freely the next day.
You’re kidding. I’ve run a 66 half and quicker than Will but not a chance on earth I could do what Nedd has done
Just because you couldn't do this, that doesn't make missing the world record by 25% better than your 65.32.
It’s all relative. How many people can get within 25% of the 100m world record (12 seconds) - literally millions… how many within 25% of the marathon world record (2:30) - far less but still plenty. How many within 25% of the 1000 mile world record - very few…

Here's a secret... Kouros couldn't give a f**k about recognition from people that know nothing about running and will never run. Cheers
Thanks NB for all the hype and thanks to many on this thread for the informative commentary giving me a renewed appreciation for YK.
TikTok feed, Strava updates & instagram reels have been rubbish in tracking the progress of his “WR attempt” imo. Absolute joke, but fits with the strategy of “being an ordinary bloke” going for a run, throwing shade on the “establishment” and feeding the masses on social media.
Am interested whether NB goes for completing the 1000mi OR pulls the pin after 10 days. Anyone know the plan?

How many 'can' is very different to how many have. How many have publicly announced attempting a world record, and performed well for their capabilities, yet still missed by 25%?

I’m just disagreeing that it’s infinitely better than anything Nedd has achieved. 66 for a half might get you a personal PB but it won’t win anything of note or get any recognition anywhere. Most I ran with ran minutes quicker than that. Why do you think Nedd got marketing, news and endorsements?

Might have something to do with the media company behind all of this, who would be taking their cut...
Provide the data,,,, give it to that Sneakers bloke who says he is good at those stuff...I don't have time for 4000 data reads of rubbish.
You're asking me for help? I'd rather just mock you haterz
Help?? Can't you read? You'd be the only one concerned about that rubbish, the self proclaimed data analyst that supports fraudsters...when it suits you
I don't hate Nedd, why?? I just don't see data that they claim they have.
For those cultists who keep calling people haters for not sucking from the sauce bottle.
Nedd made a claim, set a target, pronounced breaking a long standing record.
He does this by doing it in a closed stadium. He allows in comedian TV presenters, boxers etc but no one from the Ultra Running Association to observe this record breaking. he claims to measure laps without existence of lap data, something the a mickey mouse Guinness WR demands. He creates his own 'Master laps' of 12,841m when it is dead easy to run in one lap of his choice (the easiest is 8) with a known distance.
I am not even quibbling about the 'outside assistance' which is not allowed at say, Coast to Kosci. Not even quibbling about medical assistance that may include PEDs.
Just be transparent. Is that too hard to ask of someone that wants to claim a WR and set up a wealthy future based on such attempts.
I think you need a look in the mirror for haters, because most of these guys, Trans Con Expert, Washed Up Ultra etc have given hours, days, years of their lives helping people achieve their dreams the right way. They didn't just hear about ultra running on tiktok the other day.

I'm happy to stipulate everything you've just said. Anybody attempting to set a record, these days, should do everything in his power to give the doubters no quarter.
I'm watching his live feed, and I must say: he's moving well. Not fast, but surprisingly smoothly for a guy who has put in a lot of miles in the past....what? Eight days? Nine days? He's not limping. He's not dragging. He's just chugging along.
12.00pm Saturday 211 hours 1182km 10min 42sec per km
Projected 1,000 mile finish at current overall pace, 11 days 23 hours, Tuesday 4pm.
Currently 173km behind record pace 9min20sec per km/1355kms
Pace now required to beat the record 5min 28sec per km.
If he keeps his day one pace for 48 hours straight and just doesn’t sleep he’ll get there. I believe, anyone who doesn’t believe he’s capable of this is just a hater
