Lookint at google maps, it says he has 875 miles left and 15.6 days left to do it so that's only 556 miles a day. But if he can't run interestates, it's going to be more miles I assume. How many miles exactly are left.
Oh, don't worry, that dude can run on interstates. Doesn't faze him in the least. He's tough. Any 18 wheeler doesn't see him in his black ninja night running outfit would just bounce right off anyway.

That was deliberate twisting of the facts to make their case look less hopeless.
My point is that the new video Asher has provided doesn't contain anyone RUNNING at all. It just contains a guy stumbling down the road with a cell phone, probably drunk dialing anyone he knows.

A few more questions.
1) Is this Laz character out there following him? If so, how do I contact him. Please email me (don't post it on here) that info at
robertjohnson@letsrun.comI was considering driving out there if no one else can do it but can't do it as my dad is coming in on town on Wednesday.
2) Also where are you guys getting all of his data of miles covered by day as compiled here?

I compiled the data in that sheet using the photographs he posted on his Facebook page.
Rojo, It would be great to give Robert a money challenge to do the 3 marathons in 30 hours hitting the times he claimed. We could do a live feed of the event.

As soon as the video is posted, suddenly his memory returns and he recalls "oh yeah, that was the night the RV got ahead and I was wearing black and I had to borrow a stranger's phone to get them to come back. I was so traumatized by the Asher assault, which I also forgot about until Asher posted it, that I totally forgot about being separated for a long time from my RV in the middle of the night in Kansas."
I'm sorry, but the concept that the RV got ahead while escorting him and did not know they had lost him is laughable. They have one task and that is to escort him. Now, if they claimed that they had gone ahead to the Piggly Wiggly, leaving RY to fend for himself in his black ninja running outfit on the highway in the dark, I could buy that. But to claim that they were escorting him at 6mph and lost him and only realized this after he borrowed a strangers cell phone to call them is, to put it mildly, laughable.
Now is the time to ask Laz to request the cell phone log of the crew drivers phone who received this call from the abandoned RY. Think they can make that up in their call history? Maybe they can provide the number and we can verify with this stranger?
This.
Pretty easy to do - let's see the phone record.
One thing that I have noticed is that the more these guys talk the more screw ups they make and contradict themselves and their previous explanation. So Laz need to get a microphone in front of the crew and ask many questions. In the meantime, I will send over my CNN remote crew to get the crew talking.
think about it. If they have been making a practice of allowing Rob to ride along in the RV at night when he is tired (west of the Mississippi) it is easy to see how they have no idea which camera caught them where and why their stories will be messed up when pressed about any incidents.
Further videos west of the Mississippi has the ability to close this case.

Ok. If true, and your are FOIA, please email me at
robertjohnson@letsrun.comHow did he know what times to ask for? Where can you find out where he was at a certain time?
Somebody said the light in the walker's hand is a cell phone. If somebody can blow this video up that detail would contradict the story of running by with a flashlight. it looks like a cell phone.

"Brooks also wrote that the crew had been in contact with the car wash to review a lengthier portion of the footage. He said they found Young running by nine minutes after the RV"
How come we or Asher couldn't find him running then?, all we saw was someone strolling through town with a cell phone and wearing street clothes. Hope Brooks posts his running version of the video soon.
go to the blog post of day 20-21 (June 1-3, posted June 5), and you will find Rob's black nighttime outfit. A few days before Asher's encounter.
Looks reflective enough to have been seen by the security cam.
Update from Rojo: Here is the blog post in question. He does dress in black.

It doesn't matter if he has someone running with him every step of the way until he finished. He won't be a considered a cheater unless there is proof that he lied about is 5:30-6:00 60 mile days.
This needs to be the focus. Nothing else will make the fanboys go away.

Well I already consider him to be one. The one time a guy drives up to him in the middle of the night - he's not there. And the one time a guy gets security footage of the RV driving buy he's nowhere to be seen.
1 x 1,000 x 1 1,000 = 0.000001%

I really like this approach. Perhaps list 10 items at $1000 a time. This will really put the boot on the other foot. Bet he is unable to produce anything.
Need to put a time stipulation to make data tampering harder. He says he already has the data. His crew should be able to upload it within an hour.
Data must be uploaded within 24 hours and he must provide a screenshot of his watch as well. It's 2016 and they have cell phones with blue tooth and wifi and hotspot, it would take a few min a day.
Rojo - do not offer him money to run the rest of the way. We know he is some kind of running shape and may likely even get the record by walking. If you want to bust him make him prove he can run as far as his journal entries claim. Make him prove he was a professional triathlete and that he ran a 1:08 half. If you say the prize is for the children he cannot refuse your offer, same cause he 'bleeds and suffers' daily for.

None of the video appears to show him running at the fastest paces he has claimed.

I am caught up once again. A few comments. I think a cash rewards is the only way for the average person to realize someone is a fraud so i'm thinking of offering a cash reward for him to wear a watch the rest of the way and post it to strava - similar to the Rossi challenge.
People said there is a certain watch he should be wearing that he could prove hew as doing it as it does cadence, etc? Does he have this watch? I saw on his video he has two GPS watches. Has any of that data been posted? If he doesn't have the watch, please tell me the name of it and how it would prove things. I'll go buy it and fed ex it to him.
The TomTom watches will automatically log the cadence in each lap split. This is stored he doesn't have to turn this on or off. It would take two seconds for him to publish this.
Thing is, he's doing it legit now. He's walking at 3 mph. We need the OTHER data.
Though goodness knows what he'll get up to if Laz and co have to leave in a few days.

Will you cut the bull? They saw the video before releasing that ridiculous comment, they have to make up something fantastic to make it fit. It may be a cell phone, but do you really think some stranger was going to hand Rob his phone and let him walk away with it?
