Description

Get comfortable with being uncomfortable the best-selling memoir of a then 23-year-old tradie who put his body through hell and back 10 times to prove that anything is possible when you break past your own barriers.

When Nedd Brockmann set out to run the 3,953 kilometres from Cottesloe to Bondi Beach in the fastest known time of forty days, fame and public recognition never presented themselves as a motivation. He sought to raise money for homelessness and to bring attention to the urgent crisis facing society. He also wanted to test his limits and defy his own expectations of himself.

We all have an internal voice, one that either reinforces our capabilities or is quick to shut them down. Nedds mindset is: why cant IIf someone else has managed to cross Australia on foot, running some hundred-kilometres a day over forty-three days, why could Nedd not do the same or go faster

Since completing the run, people keep asking the now 26-yearold how. How did he keep going, even in those moments where his body felt like it might break in two

In Showing Upand now a Netflix documentary Runn, Nedd shares the stories that have shaped his mindset most profoundly. These are the stories he thought about on those long and monotonous roads, when the wind stole the scream from his lips before he could make a sound. They are the stories that speak to our potential, to help us push past our own limitations. Stories that suggest we are all destined for greatness, as long as were willing to work hard.
