#875 - Nedd Brockman - Pushing The Boundaries Of Mental Toughness

What's happening? We're still going. Essentially, I said I need to work on an 18-hour, six-hour rest. So in that six hours, try and get four or three or two.

#875 - Nedd Brockman - Pushing The Boundaries Of Mental Toughness

Yeah, it was more just the fact that the lack of sleep thing was โ€“ there was no way I was finishing if I wasn't sleeping. You can't tough that out. What was the original time on, time off plan? Well, the first few days, 16, 8, and in that 8, there'd be 6 or 7 hours. I'm usually a pretty good sleeper, but for some reason, it just was the stress of the thing. Yeah, and you can't fight it.

Otherwise, you're just sitting there going โ€“ And then I would get out earlier and go again. And that's just like, not a, not a thing to do. So yeah, ended up 18 hours. Um, and I was probably, that's when the average dropped down a little bit on those days where I was like, we've just got to get this thing done.

But, um, I was pretty proud of the fact that I got through those next, you know, five days still averaging over 120, 130 K. And then I just. what I found and what I usually in these kind of events is like, I have some sort of fun. Like I have some sort of reprieve with family or with friends or with, you know, at dinner, we might be laughing about what happened or what I said or what someone did.

This time around, I didn't have one fricking second of it. And for me as someone who really like, uh, laughs about the crap that's going on and like really smiles about the crappy things, I just didn't even have that at all. And so I like, that was really hard for me.

And so the majority of the time, like even when we raised a million dollars on day nine and I looked up and I was like, it was the first time I went, oh my God, like you're actually doing something important and valuable to society and people are. Clearly inspired, so they're donating. And it was the first time I actually took a breath and going, oh, this is, what you're doing is insane.

None of it. Like not one bit. And then even the night before we finished, we'd raised like 700,000 that night. We were, I was 2.6 million before I'd finished. And then I just like took a breath in. There was, I don't know how many people in the stadium just there to watch. And I was like- you've got to kind of appreciate this because these moments don't happen all the time.

And, you know, I might get it five or six more times in my life where I die. Like I want to enjoy these moments. And then even after that, I'd seen all this, all this money raised. And I still was like, I've got another hundred K to go. And I had to like, just grit the teeth. That final day was a 26 hours nonstop, 160 K done. And I crossed the line and I punched that fucking wall.
