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

Just went down to the track. It is hot, very bleak feeling - empty. No one watching at first then a couple of girls turned up at the fence.

looks awful

Punching out some mid 2min laps after last 20min med tent stop. Currently looking like a different runner to earlier this morning. In lane 5 closing in on completion of a “master lap”.

This is good from NB and his team. It’s 1:25pm AEDT on a Monday and NB is moooving. Almost running full laps and looking to complete another “master lap” during everyone’s lunch break here in Aus. Running with short purposeful walk breaks.

What do you think happened in the tent?

Mahk Daddy was mentioned but missing Aouita and Morceli. Was Viren up there? And Qu. Stefano Baldini? Evan Jager? Borakovsky? Oh and bless Fermin Cacho, I think he and Indurain injected each other in the butt. So many questions

Also that [REDACTED] guy that had an embolism or whatever at Pre-Nats, kicked out of Texas and moved to the school right by the Mexican border having a job at a pharmacy, and suddenly won the regional with Arkansas by like 45 seconds

I noticed that too. It should have been a 4 hour lap 109. Instead it's just 2:24.
Good thing that this is not a valid performance and just a fund raising event.

Oh to be a fly on that tent wall! It’s captivating stuff in it’s own way.

“Masterlap” 109 completed in 2:24:00. One of the slowest thus far. Average “master lap” is currently 1:50:32 according barefoot sports timing.

Currently NB is back out there with pacing support ticking over 1400km in “masterlap” 110. Back to mid 3min/lap pace.

I shouldn’t be surprised, but wow! Pacing sure does help for even consistent splits! Totally different game with a good pacer by your side.

NB and co laying down some metronomic splits early in “master lap” 110.

There is nothing consistent anymore in his running. In the last masterlap he was lying in the grass. They are probably keeping him alive with a lot of painkillers, coffein and some IVs. I hope that he will not die out there.

He certainly missed the mats on the track.

There is a chance here that there is another timing mat extending into tents on right of screen (obscured from camera by the large set of tents).

This would mirror the setup to the left where you can see timing mats on an angle off the track under a tent with no walls.

I better give him benefit of the doubt… it is for charity afterall.

True. I should’ve said “consistent 400m splits”. But it’s all out the window with “unscheduled stops” and bad patches.

After a tough “master lap” 109 that had NB laying on the infield he’s up and back out there, halfway through “master lap” 110. 50mins for half the “master lap”, pacer by his side. Lunch at end of “master lap” 109 must’ve been just what the dr ordered.

Nedd is at 1400k now. It took him 30 hours for 129k which makes it 103.2k per day. So that is roughly two more days if he doesn't slows down more.

Now it's raining hard and the forecast has a lot of rain for Monday and some more on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Australian Record is from 1998, Bryan Smith with 11days 23 hours.

Also, he's wearing Puma MagMax Nitros with 46mm stack height. IAU apply the WA shoe regulations, but allow eligible road shoes on the track. Nedd's shoes aren't road or track legal. They preclude him from any claim that he is making a record attempt.

This run is not record eligible.

He should try less stack to offload the knee

So after this observation at 12:30pm, halfway through master lap, and the subsequent observations by other posters verifying this, the next master lap somehow finished at , wait for it.....12:30pm....someone should tell the ghost of Einstein about this time travel.

They are not even hiding the fact that its 'made up', and has been so the last 11 days

See post above. Absolute made up BS
