It's easily sufficient to tell us something is terribly wrong, and everyone knows it. You're just with the Rich Roll argument that the monitors and Strava are "bullsh*t".
This argument is
not that Goodge runs slowly and takes loads of time off, it's that he runs quickly and barely takes any time off. 104K here in 12:45, with 56 mins resting, some shocking climbing, and only four times does his pulse go above 119 for a day of 107HR:
And he and Balenger have literally hundreds of these runs going back 6 years.
Last night Goodge ran 8.3k in 48 mins which is eye-watering slow for a runner of supposed note and worth, but off a pulse of 166.
Let's just compare three Goodge kms with three Johnson kms from day 39:
WG
15: 9:59, elev -2, HR 108
23: 9:50, elev -2, HR 108
36: 10:24, elev 1, HR 109
PJ [interestingly he runs 9k less than WG but takes 1hr17 more]
15: 11:10, elev 1, HR 119
23: 11:00, elev 2, HR 120
36: 11:52, elev 2, HR 125
And that right there is the very heart of this debate. How does the significantly weaker runner, constantly win head to head mile battles by way over a minute [1:11, 1:10 and 1:28 here] with elevation differences negligible, and average 108 vs 122.
Johnson's pulse goes above 119 38 times in the day to Goodge's four.
And these weird anomalies crop up for WG and RB some 20,000 times over the past six year.
