Robert Young fakes run across America

Thanks for the stats Ultra list update!

Forget Once a Runner, this plot with it's numerous twists and turns would be a number 1 bestseller and ultimately a Holywood blockbuster movie. Willem Dafoe (with good make-up and bad lighting) is a shoo-in to play Wejo, but who's gonna play Robbo and what would be the film/book title?

Yeah, with that kind of "questioning" it's not surprising that it took a month before anyone got off their butt.

Next time you have a possible cheater on your hand, start a thread on letsrun and the guy/gal will be exposed in a couple of days.

What'll likely happen is 100+ pages of grab-ass until either Asher or someone from the Ulist takes action which is what we have here.

From Mid-Rivers Mall Drive on I70 near where RW stopped yesterday afternoon to the Innkeeper on Hamel Drive and State Street where they seemed to be stopped for today, is 50 miles on Google Maps.

You are correct ... I made a simple, but significant error.

I was off preparing dinner for the family when it occurred to me I inadvertently (and carelessly) flipped the numerator and denominator when I went to convert from ft/sec to miles/hour. I figured folks would be all over it before I returned.

Yes ... 3600/5280 makes for about 4.25 mph and not 9mph (as would be the case when I multiplied by 5280/3600).

Now I need to go back and count sidewalk sections between the utility polls because 4.25 mph seems far to slow for the amount of effort on Mr. Young's face.

I have read they are closer to 180' between each, which would make that closer to a 6.1 mph pace, seems more reasonable given his stride.

Uh, no. They can be spaced at anything. There is no uniform standard. How tall are the poles? What is the wattage of the luminaire at the top – 100, 250, 400, 1000? What sort of road is it and what lighting spec are you trying to meet? And oh, another half dozen or so variables. I’ve seen spacings as tight as 75 feet and as long as 400.

True. But those 100+ pages will, as I said, just take a couple of days.

And then there won't be any idiots like Natty Dumb to brag about some friends of him being "on their way".

Ultra runners are a bunch of politically correct sissies because times and results don't matter to most of them. So instead of calling out cheaters they sulk in a corner.

This has already been figured out you apparently missed the coordinates post that it was around 2000' total in running, or just under 7mph, so I was pretty close.

Agree on the asher statue!

Here's a good start, happy reading!

And anyone interested in what makes the RY supporters who are just fevered followers and not some of those in on the money scam side of this may want to scroll to the post about 'stockholm syndrome' (with respect to how that works with narcissists) by the page.

I originally came on here because somebody posted up some legitimate questions about whether this was happening at all. I still do not understand how that footage was taken without being able to keep up wth the van and ask the occupants where Rob is. Responses to this question have been flimsy to say the least.

Your post containing this except was well thought out. I believe you are sincere about this, so I will try to explain my experience specifically as it relates to this question.

I drove down the highway to find Rob so I could run with him. I looked at the tracker while I was still home, so I didn't know how far he would be from me once I reached the highway. I figured the easiest way to find him at that point would be to dice down the highway, then stop at the intersection ahead and wait until he got there, then start running with him. I drove down the highway, and saw the RV but not Rob. After a few more miles of driving. I checked the tracker, and it said he was behind me. I turned around, and started driving back toward the rv. No matter what, I had to drive back past the rv, so I decided to film as I drove by (the 1:45 video). Again I didn't see any runner. I parked ahead a little ways off the highway. I ran back to the highway, and toward the rv. At this point, I had a choice. Let the rv come up to me while I am blinded by the headlights, or get off to the side and see if I missed Rob running on the side of the RV (although unlikely because there is no good shoulder there). Right it wrong, I opted to get off to the side and take another video (the 1:53 video). Like I said before, 2 night videos are better than 1 if something fishy is going on.

After that video I ran out behind the rv, and was catching up. If I would have caught up, I would have talked to them. Unfortunately, I saw someone get OUT of the rv, but they got back in and drove away to quickly to catch up since I was still on foot. Why I didn't say something when the person got out, I honestly can't say. Maybe I was to dumbfounded that someone got out, maybe they got back in too quick, maybe it's because I'm generally a quite person, and didn't want to yell.

Anyway, their driving away was the icing on the cheating cake to me. After this, there was no way i was going to try to talk to them.

I find it quite possible they were scared when I was coming up behind them, as they said in their in their recent video response. However, I maintain there was no runner beside the rv which they have said he was. I don't think it has been addressed why we don't see a flashlight in the video since they say he had one.

So, basically, he *ostensibly* averaged about 70 miles a day for the first 3 weeks or so, and then barely averaged 40 for the last week (your numbers give about 43, not the 46+ you mention) --which coincides exactly with the time-frame since he got *caught*, and realized there were people actually starting to pay attention.

Yep, that's one hell of a coincidence, alright.

A black page would be appropriate too.

No problem. I just wish people from LRC would come out to join Laz and Rob. I would like to see a joint effort here, more "boots on the ground"

Ironic that you say this in the comfort of your or your mom's house while Asher and Ulist Team Geezer are on the road doing the heavy lifting.

Now that's rich!

Too much browser refreshing to do. Just ask hardballer.

So you attack me instead of addressing the question?

I repeat: those wimps at the ultralist should have started a thread here and Robert Young would have been exposed several weeks ago.

Do you get it, you politically correct POS?

SImmer down cupcake - we'll expose everything for you -- just keep hitting refresh.

Instead of fighting each other, I am asking anyone from Letsrun to make an effort this week to follow the RV and say hi to Rob and Laz.

"The malignant flying monkey is there by choice, ill in ways that are also not fixable, (usually borderline pd,) and will often pretend to be separate from their narcissist on order to stay ingratiated to people who ate starting to figure the narcissist out, but are nowhere near being able to make the connections of who is connected to whom on toxic-ville"

Not fixable, eh?

Some when the narcissist and the flying monkeys finally get cornered like rats, and called on their bullshite, what happens? Do they lie down and whimper, or do they go nuclear?

Not sure what is more entertaining... some of the magic running that Robert did early on (I guess not thinking people would try to do math) or watching some of the letsrun kids bait and fight with ultralisters.

Glad I got a beer.
