The Pulse
Nedd Brockman’s 1000-Mile Record Attempt
Some of you may remember Nedd Brockman from Australia when he ran from Perth to Bondi—a staggering 3953 km journey over 46 days.
Now, he's back at it again with an even crazier goal: breaking the 1000-mile world record of 10 days, 10 hours, 30 minutes, and 36 seconds, set by Yiannis Kouros in New York in 1988.
In classic Brockman style, he’s taking on this challenge on a 400m track—running around 400 laps a day for 10 days straight. Talk about mental toughness!
But it's not just about the run. Nedd is using this challenge to raise $10 million to combat homelessness through donations and sponsorships.

Brian’s Stack For Metabolic Flexibility and Peak Performance
Brian a high-level athlete and ketone executive, shares his top 5 go-to products that keep him performing at his best:
Mono Ester (Delta G Ketones)
"I use it to get into a deep state of ketosis. Whether fasted or before intense workouts, this product helps me hit that metabolic sweet spot. The energy is different—it’s clean and sustained."
S-Fuels Primed
"This product is a staple for my fasted training sessions. With 80mg of caffeine and ingredients like L-Carnitine, it supports fat oxidation and metabolic flexibility."
Paraxanthine
"A metabolite of caffeine that gives me clean energy without the jitters or affecting my sleep. It’s a game-changer for my afternoon workouts."
Blue Light Glasses
"At 7 PM, I put on my orange-tinted blue light glasses to block out artificial light. They help me wind down and improve my sleep."
Meditation & Reading
"Every day, I spend 10 minutes meditating with the Waking Up app, followed by 30 minutes of reading fiction or literature to clear my mind. It’s crucial for unwinding and breaking free from work mode."
