So, this got glossed over. Bill Schultz is out there -- that's great! He has actually done a transcon run, and knows how it is supposed to go. Also like Laz he is an RD for ultras.
I talked to him this morning. He says (about Rob):
(1) he and his crew really don’t seem to have a sense for pacing
(2) He said he’s blistering ‘badly’.
(3) He hopes to stay out till noon and then get a hotel room thru the heat.
So, don't expect big miles today.
Thanks.
Finally I can get some work done.

Great post from the ultralist this morning (James Mungall).
Great post. Good responses from you and Markus about the whole FKT or WR issue and the previous "record" by Frank and Stan. Thanks for sharing the post from the ultralist.

Duh. Read the thread.
I have - there is NO proof that he did NOT cheat.... but I get the attempt to get people to say that.

Now eagerly awaiting the new Asher video, although I doubt it will be conclusive either way and will only muddy the waters. I suspect Rob was in the RV and got lucky that someone happened to walk by. I mean, his original comment was something like, "the van was ahead, I MIGHT be 15min behind, get video BEFORE or AFTER the RV passes and you MIGHT just see me." Well which was it, before or after. Sounds to me like someone being evasive and getting ready to defend why he wasn't on the video.
Haven't heard anything from Rob yet, but I guess maybe I never will. I don't understand why the guy won't talk to me, either on the side of the road, or on Facebook...
Several new videos out at the same google photos link, but this is the one you want:

Finally, either way this video goes, he wasn't running at Lebo.
It's over. I'll give him at most another 100 miles until he throws in the towel.
You heard it here first.
Wow.

Did I miss something? Where - exactly - was it proven that he is not cheating?
Who are these idiots posting that this run has been legit? It's like the Nike employees who get in here regarding Rupp or AlSal.
Here's the facts:
Rob has likely been legit since the thread has gone up.
Rob was cheating the first 20 days.
Whether there's video of him running by a car wash or not it is impossible to run 50 miles at 90 seconds UNDER your marathon pace. I repeat physiologically impossible.
That's Robert!!!!

So I guess no more 55-mile stretches at sub-7 pace.
I don't understand why he would even attempt sub-7 pace. As others have pointed out, the name of the game in an attempt like this is energy efficiency. Why would you attempt to run and break yourself down, other than to try to prove your critics wrong that you could do it. If he walks 15 hours a day, it sounds like he'll get the record. Of course, this is the guy who opened the Brighton Marathon with a 5:23 mile split and finished in 3:30 (average of 8:00/mile).
In my opinion, that is the walk of someone casually strolling through the middle of the night, possibly tipsy, and probably having illegal substances on their person. Pace is too relaxed.
Is that the one that is supposed to be Rob? The back half of the pic looks like a neighborhood crack whore. Wearing pants, skinny and looking back occasionally for a "date".

On second thought, it's highly suspect that Rob is clocking significantly lower averages on the supposedly less difficult days. Also, his reluctance to show any real data seems strange, to say the least.
Nonsense. a) he has blisters; b) this is in line with the IAAF's new anti-transparency policy, now even adhered to by Paula Radcliffe who originally wanted to release all her data.
The fact alone that Rob ran 40 miles through the hilly desert at 6 min pace proves that he's legit. Fortunately Guinness won't be overly picky and will still accept this world record, although there are no direct witnesses for these 40 miles.

Hahahahaha. Thank you so much. LRC now has it's own UFO video. This one will never be forgotten.
It doesn't look like Mr Young to me. I think it's a random pedestrian in coat and jeans/pants with some type of big logo on the back of the coat, and the pace that person is moving at certainly isn't going to support anything faster than about 20 min/mile in my opinion. If running at anything less than ~12 min/mile through your area has been claimed I don't think this video helps him.

Did laz communicate this from 1890? Has someone informed him of more modern methods of communication than pigeon post, flag semaphore, and beacons? If he happens to be using a cell phone, can he elaborate a bit more, perhaps in an email, online post, or via phone call?

Yes. This is the final proof for his innocence. What an athlete! Case closed.
probably having illegal substances on their person. [/quote]
I like the way you word things. Do you have a Police background. I would like you to stop by funkhousr for an interview for deputy.

Hahahaha. There are no muddy waters here. You're a very generous person and are giving him the benefit of the doubt that he probably doesn't deserve. There seems to be almost no chance that the person strolling along wearing long pants is him. And I hope this lessens the fear of Rob's fans that you've been out to get him the whole time.
