Can someone keep an eye on this guy (run across America)

Leave Darren Alone! wrote:

He can because he does ultra marathons and those are that long. Look at the wikilink!

Please do show me ultra marathon results where Darren has run multi stage ultra marathons covering 50 miles every day for thousands of miles.

Off you go. And dont post again until you've found these.

Yawn, so boring provide proof. There must be someone who can meet him as he gets closer to heavily populated areas. But wait of you do that there will nothing more to say

Its up to Darren to provide the proof that he IS doing it. Not the other way round.

He could easily do that by providing GPS, heart rate and cadence data.

The very fact that he isn't providing this data is evidence enough for me that he is riding most of the way in the RV.

Is anyone gonna add a 'Run across America' section to that wikipedia page?

You mean running a section of across America, as in 25 miles out of Dr. Phil's show. And even that is hard to believe.

The only prove we have is that he ran out of Dr. Phil's show. He should write a book about THAT.

So now you're moving the goalposts. We were talking about someone riding 75 miles could WALK 25 at 4 mph. And nobody said AUTOMATICALLY. It would still be as hard as riding for 75 miles. And Darren's training has been hard, so I'm sure he's prepared for all sort of hard things. Once you've encountered one hard thing you're much more ready to accommodate more hard things that come your way.

Logic, please wrote:

Someone who is a cyclist COULD train to be a runner, yes.

But what is being said here is that if you can cycle 80 miles, then you must AUTOMATICALLY be able to run 40 miles. That's not true unless you train to do so.

Darren cannot run 40 miles.

But he isn't and couldn't walk 25 miles a day. He hasn't done anything on foot since day one.

The 25 miles thing is irrelevant anyway. He'd still be there at Christmas doing that little.

He was boasting RUNNING 50 miles.

He never said 25 miles walking.

Being able to cycle 75 miles a day wouldn't automatically mean you could walk across America doing just 25 miles a day. The walk would be far harder.

The two things are totally different.

Wikipedia:

Kavinoky is married and has one daughter. He is an endurance athlete, having completed seven Ironman Triathlons, and many other marathons and ultramarathons.[9]

Acorrding to ultrasignup Kavinoky did one 50k in 7:06h 92th place in 2008

That's not exactly ultramarathons, it's more like one lousy slow ultramarathon when he was the face of 41.

Friday's ride began at 9:06 central time, 10:06 eastern time. I'm not sure in which time zone they started, but certainly today they will enter into the eastern time zone.

Sorry I didn't post this earlier, but I was out running. And by running I mean putting one foot in front of the other at a pace fast enough that you become airborne between each step. I was NOT riding a bicycle. I was NOT riding in an RV.

You can't prove that.

Didn't Kavinoky say in his day end video yesterday that he is taking today as a rest day to use his "Marc Pro" on his "injured" knee?

Good for him. He is pushing through his injury because he is the new face of 50.

He did run a 3:31 marathon at the 2011 rock n roll san diego marathon.

It was once claimed on his athlinks profile however at some point it was removed. It stands out as much faster than his other performances.

Provide proof

Now he is facing another 720 miles towards New York.

Who is everybody? False I am not with the crew so again boring false statements. I suppose I should be happy to see you at least state that everybody might think I am part of the crew. As I have state before have any of you arranged to meet them? If you cannot have you arranged for associates or friends to do so? No of course not. I did note that someone plans on doing this. Please do so we can all put this to rest.

You clearly don't know the definition of paranoid either. Yes I will keep on challenging people to show proof. Supposition and assumptions are just that but when state as facts they are just wrong. I stand ready to be proved wrong.

Please provide actual hard evidence and not fairy tales.

Paranoid Ozzie, if you're talking to me this was discussed way early on.

His athlinks profile from 2014:

You make some good points and I agree with you.

I am being entertained by people who clearly like to spout fiction as fact and ignore facts. Ivory tower maybe, but no I just believe in truth. I am not embarrassed at all just amused

Obviously Marc Pro is working. Get one to!

Morristown, TN

714 miles to go.

10 days?

14 days?

You raise some good points and this is interesting.

Let me expand on your scenario. You state you are going to swim the channel.

You start, you get stung, bitten or what ever, but decide to continue, not swimming but in a canoe.

You have a tracker so everyone can see where you are and anyone can join you but you made it clear you are not swimming now but canoeing. Possible?

Would you continue across the channel knowing that at any time if you got into a chase boat you could be called out?

As for the claims he was not injured if any of you took the time and trouble to reach out to his PR guy you would get the facts. He in fact was injured sorry to burst that bubble.

To quote the great Ozzie9472...Provide proof.
