Robert Young fakes run across America

Given 50 per day appears to have put him in the hospital, what's the over/under on actual miles run per day prior? 30 per day? maybe 20 per day?

It's s good question and unfortunately we'll rprobably never know - he must have run some or Laz would have called fake on day 1. He got 5 days of solid mileage .... I've only run a 50 miler once and it knocked me down for a few weeks after it... So stringing tougher back to back high mileage days is respectable - not record breaking but respectable.

Can someone with a TomTom MySports account let me use it briefly, like a few minutes? I just want to login and check something. Don't care what activities you have in there, could be nothing. I won't modify anything and will let you know as soon as I'm done so you can change your password. Hit me up. This is for important real investigative work.

Ugh, I sure hope Skinz is covering Rob's health insurance because if his run orchestration is any indication I doubt he picked up a policy before his trip. An ER visit isn't cheap. At least he can dip into those donations?

Racing a 50 puts you down for a long time. Using 16 hours to get through 50 allows even a mediocre runner to string together many days. I've done it, it's not that bad. This guy clearly just started this run a week ago.

That would be the stupidest thing they've done hands down. I once went overseas, had an accident, the 4000EUR was covered by my $47 or whatever travel insurance. So good. God forbid he has no insurance and they order cross-sectional imaging on him. Putting your foot in the door and getting scanned probably starts you at 5 figures... Then again, I suppose he can just go home to the UK and not pay...

RV is now on the move, on the road just south of the hospital as of 23:56 EST. Maybe he just needed some bandaids or something...

Tracker has left the hospital.

Lots of possibilities, few to none are good.

Stubbornness can be ones worst enemy, because by nature it cannot be controlled. Only intervention can counter it.

With luck, he gets an IV, treat some wounds and recovers and runs another day.. Other scenarios are less rosy. Clearly underprepared, poorly planned and too inexperienced for this undertaking, it just sounds like he feels/felt his toleration for suffering would prevail over all of those preliminary needs.

Hopefully this is on the better side of things.

1 bloody face plant.

1 hospital trip.

Each day brings us closer.

Get your possum recipes ready

We about to get some road kill

Back on the move. Rob was dragging, barely making any progress. I thought he was just about done. But then he asked for six IV bags. I've never seen anyone rejuvinated so quickly. As soon as he'd had his six IV bags, he started hammering out 5 minute miles.

I believe the LR message board has been trolled by team Robert.

Well done signior Robbie. Well done indeed!

No British bulldog shall cross my bridge.

Nary even step foot onto it.

It would have been cheaper for them to buy a business class plane ticket back to Britain for tonight and see a doctor there than for them to see a doctor in the US.

The tracker is moving really fast now too. Indy you're disappointing me again! Boots on the ground, you'll be a LRC legend!

All night drug stores are much cheaper and consume less time.

Regardless of the outcome, RY is a tough dude.

Now they are at Walgreens.

Cash? The hospital won't cash in the British Airway miles?

He is. I hope he calls this off. I don't know if this ruse was his plan or someone else's, but it isn't pleasant to watch the guy run himself into the ground over a lie.
