Nedd Brockmann in the final stretch of 1600km run
His feet have swollen by three shoe sizes, his muscles are riddled with tendinitis and he has lost all function in his tibialis anterior, but Nedd Brockmann is still running at Sydney Olympic Park - and he's showed no signs of stopping.
The ultra-marathon runner is in the final stretch of his 1600km Uncomfortable Challenge, with under 85km to go and millions more to raise.
He started on October 3 with a goal to beat the world record - running 1600km in 10 days - while trying to raise $10 million for homelessness charity We Are Mobolise.

Brockmann has run 1500km over 13 days - totalling 400 laps of the Sydney Olympic Park track every single day.
He is currently limping his way through the last 85km as 4 million people watch through a live stream being aired on his TikTok account.
While significant injuries prevented him from beating the world record, he has still raised an impressive $1.8 million.

He posted to his Instagram on day 10, explaining that although he didn't beat the record, he wasn't going to stop until he hit 1600km.
"As humans, I believe it is our duty to see things through," he wrote in the post.
"This 1000 miles around that track has been the most humbling experience of my life.
"Never have I ever felt so many emotions to the absolute peak of them all.
"I've had no function of my right ant tib (tibialis anterior) since the end of day three, so I've been snapping dictus band rubbers left right and centre.
"No sleep because the tendinitis everywhere punches me in the throat come rest time.
"The feet have swollen three sizes due to the rain/track. It's healthy stuff."
