These are his PBs from his website:

10KM - 36:35
10 Miles - 57:18
Half Marathon - 01:22:45
Marathon - 02:55:11
100KM - 09:32
100 Miles - 20:52
24 Hour - 138 Miles
48 Hour - 221 Miles
Somewhat different to his actual pb's unless he ran them in another country or maybe did them when not running for a club?

I've found him in the results of Liverpool marathon 2015. He ran a 3:14. Again, the pictures are of him. So it's plausible that he ran a 2:55 but we haven't found it. So I don't think he's going full Rob Young! results are also on Barcelona and Helsinki but slower times.
Other results.... he did race to the stones 2016. 100km in 12:25; some way off from 9:32. I've also found his parkrun profile where he has a 19:38 PR (from 2015), some way off his claimed 17:24 PR albeit he hasn't done a parkrun for 2 years.
anyway, he's an average runner. probably done a sub3 and walked some ultras. now he's doing 196 marathons over 18 months, that's about 1 every 3 days. or 65 mile weeks for 18 months... a nice way to travel the world for free. wish i'd thought of it first.

Makes you wonder which is the charity.
How come no one is commenting on his 6th place finish at 2017 NYC marathon?

Well, either he jogged the Paris HM really slowly, or something isn't matching up here. When I was a 17:30-ish guy, I couldn't imagine traveling to another country and paying what is probably a fairly decent amount of entry fee cash to run a 2:05 HM.
Much more 'interesting' is the difference between his 100m and 24 hr PRs. He covered 38 miles more in 3:08. That is like 2:10 marathon pace. I assuming a guy like this would clock his times at 30k, 50m, 100k and 100m enroute.
It's interesting that in all his marathon he really fades in the latter stages. You would think someone doing ultras would finish strongly.
Still in the ultra scene he's probably classed as a good runner. I've seen some who are doing 5 plus for a marathon then giving tops to everyone about supplementary training such as HIIT. They are hikers

Rather than focus on his running abilities, how about focus on his motivation.
My take is that he wants YOU to finance his round-the-world vacation. How about you focus on that.

Good point but that's a given.
Just found his Paris Marathon result. These sites are annoying. Only gives the 'real time' rather than chip time. He says 3:04 gun time here 3:25:35
You have to register signing your life away to get the chip time
http://www.schneiderelectricparismarathon.com/en/event/results/results-marathonI've just checked the result of someone from my club the real time is the chip time according to her result.
So unless I'm mistaken that means he did not run 3:04

I've just checked the results of 2 other runners from my club. The time given is his chip time.
His chip time is 3:25:35
Here he states that he ran 3:04 (despite tired legs)
https://nickbutterrunning.com/2017/04/30/april-meeting-ron-hill-manchester-marathon-paris-marathon-asics-front-runners-and-running-the-isle-of-white/He also claims to have run over 300 marathons. That's fifty a year for the last 6 years.
I doubt he has run 30

I found his Facebook page and posted asking about these figures.
Also asked about the 300 claimed marathons when they aren't listed on his athlete profile.
Way too many of these damn scammers.
AS IF he's going to raise 250 grand.

Ask him about his Paris Marathon time. If not post the link & I'll do it. Couldn't find the right account when I looked.

He removed my post!
Has opened my message but no response.
Have asked him about Paris.
https://www.facebook.com/runningtheworld196/Well done have also asked the same question.

Was rapidly deleted even though wished him good luck for marathons.
If you hadn't lied surely you would just say that's the gun time (it clearly was not as I checked other results of people I know.)
Lest see if his marathons are on Strava
