Don't expect he'll finish at all - if Laz thinks he's in a 'death-spiral' I'll take his word for it.
I think he'll need more than a sausage roll and an espresso to recover this time.
Just hope he doesn't end up in hospital - he can thank his friends in the RV if he does.
Two sausage rolls and an americano?
I think it's getting obvious now he's slowing WAY down, and is not going to get the record, but he's never going to admit to cheating. He'll explain it by saying he went out to hard and then paid the price the second half. Or worse, that all the criticism caused him to lose focus and we're responsible for him slowing down and missing the record.
So in the past 8 days he has averaged 47.5 miles per day. If you walk 15min/mi pace for 12 hours per day, while still getting 8 hours of sleep per night, which is 48 miles per day. Anything under 50 miles per day, I think anybody could do with about 3 weeks of long walking training beforehand. Possible schedule for 48 mi/day walking 15min/mi pace:
7:30am- Wake up, eat, prepare
8:00am- Start walking
12:00pm- Lunch, recover
1:00pm- Walk
5:00pm- Dinner, recover
6:00pm- Walk
10:00pm- second dinner, clean up, post on letsrun
11:30- Sleep
This schedule gives 4hours for eating and other stuff, 8 hours of sleep, 12 hours of walking. 48 miles per day is not insanely difficult.
Please stop the food talk. I'm getting hungry here.

A little off topic, but how could anyone actually think it's a good idea to get a giant flower tattooed across your chest?
What is it with prisons and this stretch of Highway 40? Anyone notice that he ran past Putnamville Correctional Facility last night and will be approaching Plainfield Correctional Facility in another 10K or so. A metaphor?

A flower? Oh, right... I thought it was a giant anus.

Rob's disciples are now performing some strange sort of mating ritual. Observe & enjoy:

When you are 61yrs old and will be running 32 5K's in a row, training at a 10:30 pace is good strategy.
Yeah. Keep trying to polish that turd.

You mad, bro? Don't be jealous just because he's faster than you.
Took the night off...driving lazy ass runners around really takes a toll on you!
Anyhow, I went to sleep last night and the thread was at page 204 and is now somewhere around 220 - anyone want to cliff note me the updates between 204 and 220? Greatly appreciate it since I have to get back out to RY and drive his "TRANSPONDER" a few miles today!
read the evidence or (lack of it from Rob)
Thucking parkruns ahahahaha LMFAO.
This is guy's whole running history is a complete unproven joke
Wonder what he will do if the UK votes to leave the EU next week?

On the contrary. That is very strong evidence.
Remember that all UKAD experts looked at the evidence too, and found no reason to interfere. Therefore Rob did not cheat!

I agree. alistair is a really nice and genuine guy. Stop hating on him. I just say: you don't know alistair! He knows he's stuff and when he says Rob is legit that's the way it is.
