Another Marathon liar - can anyone help confirm half the crap this guy says?

He’s running 5 min miles and long runs at 6:30 pace but can only run a 1:25 half?

I found a 5k he did on the 4th of July, it says 21:24 lol. Yeah, this guy is probably mentally ill or has extremely low self esteem.

Also who TF makes their status "Speast Stats:

5x 26.2 (2:58:40)

23x 13.1 (1:25:47)

28x 10k (38:57)

28x 5k (17:17)

Former boston Qualifier in 2015"

Lol - I went back to 2014-2015 and there is no marathon this guy ran sub 3:05 to qualify. I'm afraid hes just a liar.

"Put out a good run today i end up having heat cramps but still good in this heat! Ran a mile in 5:23, 5k in 18:14, 5.5 miles in 34:18, 10k in 39:13, 15k in 1:02:10 and finish strong at 10 miles at 1:07:26

Dude is a radio operator, presumably for the Army.

Not sure I would trust anything he broadcasts.

Seems like he does not know much about running training. He started fast at 5:23 mile pace and faded continously to about 7:30 pace (finishing strong, lol). Typical beginner.

However, 38 min 10 k and 2:58 marathon is quite ok, but nothing special and definitely not unbelievable...

His Garmin is public. Look at this run. The hr and pace are rapidly going up and down.

lol all of his runs have messed up data. He can't even fake his runs well.

What is with these weirdos who fake claim runs?! Why is it just this sport that these psychos seem to gravitate to? Do people post fake golf stats on their instagram and facebook accounts?

I can vouch for him. Not as fast as I am, but he's pretty fast.

This is really funny because one of my friends from high school was a Marine and he did the exact same thing. Like literally he would talk about each split of his runs in the same manner and how extraordinary it was. He’d always talk about how he would run 16 miles at 5:30 average and he would finish the last mile in sub 5:00 (his mile PR was 4:50).

So I called him out and said let’s do a 9 mile run together. He started out fast in 6 minute pace which I knew he couldn’t handle but it would be a good training run for me. Shortly thereafter the pace slowed... to 8 min pace... 9 min pace... and he even had to stop for several minutes to catch his breath. I asked what gives? You can run 16 miles at 5:30 pace so 5 miles should be a cake walk... he had plenty of excuses such as it’s just a bad day. Then after crawling for 7 miles he sprinted the last mile in 5:15 and was proud of himself. I was like... you ran a 6 minute mile... took 7 miles of rest... then ran a 5:15 mile. That’s not good.

I even found out through other friends that he would go to parties and say his mile PR was 4:09 (which was mine) and he would tell people about all of my medals and top finishes as if he did them. He knew my life story so it was easy for him to just pretend it was his.

Long story short, these Marines are crazy.

No idea if this guy's runs are legit or not, but one this is true: he has absolutely no idea how to train. He runs like a 15 year old would if he just found out he was somewhat fast.

They're legit if you consider pausing the run to catch your breath every couple of minutes legit. All of his runs are stopped every few minutes while he recovers. Here's a run where he actually runs for 10 minutes non-stop toward the end and by the end of the 10 minutes he's over 8 min pace.

This looks like to me, he took a lot of breaks.

This dude ate one too many crayons, and it all went to his head

I pause my watch when running intervals, too.

That is a LOT of breaks!!!! :O

Jesus Christ I just noticed where it shows elapsed time! He spent 3:35 getting his 10 mile run yesterday that he bragged about on social media. Imagine making that kind of time investment just to brag about something online.

This guy took on average a 20 minute break between each mile.
