Another run across America underway - is it legit? Boots currently on the ground

The Sunday run is even more suspicious. There are no cadence drop outs all day while he’s running accompanied by local runners. AS SOON as they leave, the cadence drop outs start and his HR lowers significantly. Very, very strange.

Genuinely not sure how this makes any sense in response to what you're quoting

Original plan was to be at 1800 miles at the end of day 24. Was at 1400. Might be halfway across before the end of day 26. 52 days finish could be possible but it's tough sledding east of the Mississippi once the roads narrow and traffic increases. I don't recall what Goodge's number was. PJ and Goodge probably end up just about the same.

To those asking why anyone would only cheat 5% to 10% of the time, well its because the difference between 50 and 60 miles a day is massive in regards to recovery and sustainability.

It means that I was keeping you all in check here so you wouldn't go posting even dumber accusations about PJ in the Reddit thread that caused them to lock the thread. These new accusations from your group that are easily proven as malicious fake slander just by looking at the simplified Strava graphs and didn't even require a data download to disprove.

The Reddit thread was way more hinged than this thread.

It doesn’t have you spouting off waffle for starters.

Is that why you keep coming here trying to get my validation of what you are doing since no one on your side knows how to analyze the data?

Looked like a tough day weather-wise, and that’s what they’re blaming the huge amount of walking on, they better be hoping for some better days coming up.

In the live they said it was because of the wind but when someone brought up it was also windy yesterday they said it was because of the cold… sounds like damage control to me.

He also looked super stiff today in some stories. The lack of real prep must be catching up to him.

Yeah I definitely don't fully buy the weather excuses. I saw the stories you've mentioned too, he looked AWFUL getting out the van earlier, but then again I look like that after my normal naps.

It is interesting that after a full day of legitimate running (had people with him all day), he looks ruined.

Lowkey intrigued to see how he ends up faring at Boston after all these brutal days.

I love that when this all started you guys were accusing PJ of cheating because he looked too handsome to be an ultrarunner. And now you do the exact opposite and say he is cheating because "he looked AWFUL". No matter if PJ looks great and energetic or if he looks tired and torn, you always say he is cheating in every scenario.
