Robert Young fakes run across America

Yeah, it is a cool story. And a TRUE one without any BS!

Did he really claim that was him in the video and the reason he has a cell phone is because he borrowed it off someone to call the support vehicle? I thought that was something said as a joke. It really getting hard to differentiate the two with Rob. Also if he really did say that where was the other person in the video? You are going to let some stranger walk away with your phone in the middle of the night? That other person isn't in the video at all?

No, they claim it is Robert with a flashlight, and that at some point later he used a stranger's cell phone to call the RV so they would come back to him. They have stated that he runs with a handheld flashlight that he uses to signal the RV at times, and that he does not wear a headlamp at night.

We at Shadowhawk are looking to find Robert to offer him full Flashlight Sponsorship to help him in this amazing quest.

Please have his people contact us -

As an added benefit, with out superior lighting technology, it will be easier for him to read his multiple Garmin watches, and to upload his data onto the internet to hush the naysayers. Also, this light will temporarily blind anyone who attempts to run with him.

I hope Asher Delmott gets one of these so he can find Robert at night next time.

If this was a movie somebody would have already tapped into the Walgreen's security cam system and would be live-streaming them as they walk around the store, and then would post their register receipt so we would know what was bought. Then to the parking lot cams to watch them walk back to the RV and drive away. Or not.

This has been one of the greatest disappointments for me, I thought all that CSI type stuff and all that instant techo stuff was real, but all we have is s grainy video of a crackhead passing Mr G's carwash and no pre thread data which apparently is as easy making toast to download to Strava.

You must be new here, that's the best part

33 years old, coincidence?

I agree with the person who compared Rob Young with Jesus. That cracked me up.

Now Robert who was a God of Ultra's and has never felt pain and suffering because of his godly fitness level has shed his life as a Goddly trappings and is allowing himself to feel pain and suffering as he puts in slow mile after slow mile like a peasant.

I noticed that too. They are probably totally exhausted after so many consecutive 70+ mile days .

Fixed

He is British so American Record wouldn't count. But the did break the British 100 mile record: 11:30:51+ Don Ritchie 15 August 1977

But he doesn't do this stuff for the fame and glory. He does it for the kids.

That 11:30 by Don Ritchie was the track world record until Oleg Kharitonov from Russia ran 11:28:03 in 2002.

The road 100 mile records are still held by the great Yiannis Kouros at 11:46:37 in 1984 and the great Ann Trason at 13:47:41 in 1991.

It looks like Mr. Young did not break the 100 mile world record as a split in his world record transcontinental IHOP across the US attempt.

I thought Mr. Young would get the 100 mile world record (at high altitude and uphill would of been even better Robbie).

Oh well. Robbie was able to hit multiple 18 mile sections at about 5:50 pace, which would be the equivalent performance of around a 2:37 marathon (6:00 pace).

Robbie was able to do multiple PR performances on this trip which absolutely smash all his previous marathon performances in just marathon races of 26.2 miles of distance.

Robbie was even able to do his PR smashing during a longer 3,000+ mile run across the United States.

What was Robert Young's previous PR for just the 26.2 mile marathon distance before this 3,000+ mile run?

???

And you're an idiot, go away.

This only mentions copyright. Don't reall

This only mentions copyright infringement. Don't talk shit. Nobody is going to get sued because they hurt someone's feelings.

The Laz guys could also video everything done with the watch if and when they get it so that we know they didn't f___ it up.

I don't think the ultra turtles could video anything. They could, perhaps, draw some pictures since that is about as tech savvy as they appear to be.

We outsourced it to some underlings.

Seems like we need to get some better people in there though. These don't seem to know what the hell they are doing.

They are now 55 miles from the Indian border. The eyewitness reporting has been a little bit of a let down. (to say the least) Why would you drive all the way there if you were just going to sit in a car and not be active on social media, nor take pics or vids? Nothing. I am not saying that you are obligated and I commend you for taking the bull by the horns but it just seems to make sense that you would be active. This is a social media event after all.

How about some torches?

Forrest Gump is on the move again .... and managed to cover 5-miles in no-time (that or the RV allowed him a head start while they finished breakfast).

The transponder left Effingham less than 30-minutes ago and is already at Montrose (9 miles).

Can you tell me where the Indian border is in the United States?

I am sure Donald Trump knows where it is located.
