Rob's supporters are sheep. Check this out:
Verka Lafeuille Read his autobiography. Don't judge what you don't know. No inconsistencies, just a genuine running hero. Please stop trying to put down what you can't personally even dream of achieving!!!

Markus Mueller Verka Lafeuille I actually judge what I know. Multiday running is not a skill you can pick up in a supermarket. I am running ultras for 31 years and I have seen a lot of fine athletes doing great things. I think I know how a ultrarunner looks like on day 28 in a Trans Con. Robert just got some sunburn. Why is that. I had a deep tan after week three.

Verka Lafeuille Markus Mueller if you haven't lived his life you know nothing at all. You should know more than most how important your mental strength is if you are an experienced ultra runner. As for sunburn or tan, surely you are aware of differences in skin tones and complexions?!?!?! There are millions of British people who never get a deep tan even if they live in bloody Africa!!!

It's sad you can't fathom this after he ran all those marathons last year, but it's even more sad that you default to the assumpion that they put all this effort in , just to pull one over our eyes. Get off your armchair and join him.

Question: About what date do you plan to run through Columbus, Ohio? I am on vacation from June 17-24, and I don't want to miss you coming through.
Good running to you!

Dean Davis Either get on side people or don't follow Rob, seriously if he is cheating he ain't cheating you personally, I'm sure he never thought screw this person screw that person I'm going to have them over! He is out there giving it a go. Just stop following him and go and try achieve something yourselves and simply pay it no mind! I'm sure all the negativity will have an adverse impact! Go and have a run or a beer or something!

Lindley Chambers But if he is cheating then he is cheating the original record holder and the sponsors and the reputation on ultra running and all those people who believe in him. I don't care about the record I care about the sport and the damage. Dean if someone cheated in my race and beat you to first place you would be pissed. I actually think he is capable but really not doing it right and has left himself open to scrutiny and this video is just a response to the scrutiny and it should have been like this from the start. Guinness have rules about record attempts like this in order to be qualified and I would have expected better information and recording to keep it looking whiter than white. I hope he is doing it but still many questions to be answered.

Stephen Cousins Andy, I've been following on Let's Run and tbh I think you're better off leaving them to it. They are generally pretty horrible and you'll jyst get dragged in and get depressed. I've been aching to chime in but I think I'm better keeping out of it. You can't win with them as you've seen when the triathlon evidence was posted. Just thinking of your mental health!

Veronique Isabelle Ayme
Veronique Isabelle Ayme Well Rob it's a sad shame you are having to do this sort of stuff. If at all possible, ignore all the angry people who instead of looking after their lives prefer to put others down for fun. Your attempt has really unearthed how the running community has so many nasty mouths in it alongside the good guys. People like you inspire others to go out and have a go and do their best. It matters. Those who prefer to comment from far away (especially anonymously) really don't deserve the time of day. They make the running community look unwelcoming, aggressive and in-fighting and put others off from trying anything. Meh.

Lindley Chambers
Lindley Chambers That's how it should be done BUT it's been quoted by many including his crew that the tracker has been in the van and that he has not always worn or started his watch. Even Kevin O'Rourke has said on two different forums that the watch and tracker have not been worn all the time. Also if the tracker is worn all the time I don't understand how it's recording 17mph in some cases and other higher than running averages. If rob is doing all these things then great that's how it should be but there are many conflicting reports from Rob and supporters about tracking and there is still no explanation as to why the vehicle has been seen at slow speeds with no runner running on several occasions. ?
It's all very confusing.
It could all be fixed by uploading to strava. Internet is not a valid argument ad this video and blogs and emails seem to work!

Veronique Isabelle Ayme Cas Antwerp if he wants to do it at the end, that's his prerogative and nothing to do with you. If you need a record, put your shoes on and get going. As we say if you have nothing nice to say say nothing. Period. It comes across as absolute pure jealousy and really reflects appallingly on this whole running community which seems full of vipers.
