Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's well, Emady. I hope you're having a great drive home.
I'm sure you've heard across the day. But Ned Brockman
this morning finished his thousand miles six seventeen am in
a time of twelve days, thirteen hours, forty five seconds.
There was three seven hundred and sixty laps of Sydney
Olympic Park. Obviously he was going for that ten day record.
(00:21):
To quote a much better broadcaster than me, Hamish Blake,
who was down there a few times. He said it
started as a world record about time, and it grew
into the world championship of never giving up, and Ned,
you finished completely undisputed. He couldn't run at the end
woods more of a limp and a hobble, and finished
with running twenty six hours straight because he couldn't bear
(00:43):
to go to bed.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
He couldn't bear to go to bed because he was
in so much pain, so the better option was to
run for twenty six hours straight. Reading a few of
his injuries, no function in his right to be yala
Santiria from day three, which means you can't lift your
right foot ten to nighters feet swollen three shoe sizes.
Is that his toes looked like Prince Charles Fingers after
he's finished the run. This was him talking about the
(01:06):
last twelve days. I've been quite overwhelmed.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I didn't have any fun on the last twelve and
a half days. Usually in these things I would find
some joy in it and find some moments of reprieve,
and I actually found that there was not a minute
of that. The last twelve and a half days have been,
no doubt, the hardest of my life, ten times harder
than the run across.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
I was just to show people where so much we
live in this world, where we're so much more capable
than we think, and there's always when something goes wrong,
people just choose to go, well, that didn't go to plan.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I'm going to pull the pin. It's like, doesn't go
to plan, overt go the next thing and stick with
it and see it through. Because you said you're going
to do it.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Such a strong so inspirational, isn't it gives you goosebumps?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Absolutely inspired the country once again, and someone who was
down there helping ned out during this journey was a
good friend of ours, Olympic boxer Harry Garside, who joins
on the phone right now Canda, Harry.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Hey, boys, boys, mate, How Boddy Good is Ned Brockman.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Everyone's saying it right. My brother lives in Ampsindem at
the moment. He just sent me a message in the
middle of the night last night, how it's bron Like.
I woke up to that and I was like, yeah,
it's crazy, Like it's all anyone can think, right.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Because there's one side, which is actually the physical feat
that he goes through, but there's also his passion around
raising money for Mobilized, Like the figure is at two
point seven million dollars. He's raised that much money once again.
But Harry, you were down there running a few laps
in I think did you run a few marathons yourself
just to help him out a little bit?
Speaker 5 (02:39):
Yeah, so I would love to say a few with
around there a couple. I think I went down there
about day five just to see how much pain he
was already into day five. Never once complained, never once
back down, never once looked for a way out. He
showed something different. I don't like to say that anyone's
like different joining other human, but like I was generally
running next to him going I think the guys generally
(03:00):
just built different, but it was just wild to be
a part of, like genuinely biblical stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Running a marathon itself. This is what people need to understand.
It's we were just talking during the song there. It's
unfathomable to think about running for twelve days straight like that.
Running a marathon for some people is like their physical peak. So, Harry,
when you were down there and you ran a marathon,
which looks so insignificant next to what Ned was doing,
did you was there ever a moment where you were like, gee,
(03:27):
I'm struggling a little bit, but it would be weird
to bring that up with Ned.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
I was saying, that's all the support, Jane's my names
for a bit, so all I've been doing a drinking
bern and bad foods is the Olympics. But next to
that guy, you couldn't say our seing on the third lap, right,
So it was quite early in the piece he said
to me one of his good mates, Tommy, did about
eighty ks within one of the third day or something
like that. He's like, Tommy refused to drink water next
(03:51):
to me, and he said, that's me a lap three,
So I'm thinking now I can't drink water next to him,
He's going to think that I'm weak. So the whole
time drink of water near him. I just had the
way till we went to the talk, I run off
and got a lot of water.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Are you saying things to try and motivate him, You're
trying to keep it light, like what what is the
chat like?
Speaker 5 (04:11):
It was very much just going off him. Yeah, we
actually had to me and him. We talked about some
pretty deep you know, me would he talk about some
very deep topics and Ned's very similar and I was
surprised that he was able to hold some really deep
chats meets, and he would go through a roller coaster
of emotions in the space of the lap. Really.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Wow, you're the professional box eye boxes, you know, renowned
for taking beatings. That's kind of the mo Do you
have you ever met anyone with as much mental strength
or resilience or openness is another way maybe to put
it as Ned Brockman.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Nah, not at all. It's been surrounded by some pretty
amazing people. And this just goes to show that when
you move with pure intentions and you have a reason,
you have a cause, you have something that you're truly
passionate in. Which is the homelessness crisis in Australia. For Ned,
it's like you can get up of move mountains. And
that's what Ned Brockman has done. Over his two campaigns.
He's probably raised close to five six seven million dollars
(05:06):
and that's still growing. So amazing what he's capable of doing,
and I think every human is capable of that, as
long as we move with pure intentions and find those
things and find the reason why why we want to
get up while we want to get moving, and why
we want to change the world.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Well said mate, Well said Harry.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Great to hear your voice, mate, Congratulations on helping. And
then it might be a little while now, but whenever
you get a chance to have you with him, please
say gooday from.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Us of course, thanks boys, thanks having on.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Hopefully you can show a similar amount of stamina at
my wedding in a couple of weeks as well. Harry
on the dance floor.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
Fire up, I've been talking to men, mate, I'm very excited.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Pure intentions. What are the pure intentions there, Harry, we'll
talk off there. Hey to donate or sign up to
Need's Uncomfortable Challenge in to Ned's uncomfortable challenge dot com.
Still plenty of time to get around that. As Harry
just said, two point seven million dollars over nearly six
million dollars over the course, there's two massive runs that
he's done. But yeah, why not get involved on it?
Set yourself your own uncomfortable challenge. Next, Woods are getting
(06:01):
married in two weeks and I've got the most confronting
question that you need to confront about your wedding.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
No, I don't, yes, no, I don't right now. No,
I don't do it. Live not doing it.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
