Yes what a surprise. No people around sorry too hard to fake it. But welcome for the last 5km of course. It's public road. Anyone can be there any time. I appreciate the distraction of having someone next to you but let's just be honest about what's going on.
Every time I go for a run, if anyone sees me, I get distracted and lose focus on which leg to move next (think Derek Zoolander) - don't you just hate that?
Runs/walks with a genuine HR (around 120) for the first 25miles. 5 walk breaks included (this registers on the cadence data).
Mile 25-58 Roughly 33miles of non stop shuffling at 170 cadence with a HR around 100.
Mile 58 - 64 after a short walk break, shuffles a similar pace and HR to the previous 33 miles.
Mile 64-68 walks to the finish, HR as expected (80) cadence as expected (120)
What happened for 33 miles in the middle?
If he genuinely ran at that pace without any breaks his HR should be around the 130 region for that section. Or if he was taking breaks and the cadence data is failing, then his HR would be consistent with the first 25 miles of this run.
Surely the technology can't be failing on every day of this run?
Congrats. You've caught up to where WC was in 2023 and has been saying since.
That's what I said. He hasn't been much outside for the past couple of weeks. But now once he gets forced to actually run, he gets a sunburned face. Hilarious!
Yeah, how come his cheeks are so red now? Who randomly gets sunburnt for the first time on their 30th consecutive day of spending all day outside running?!

wow, if those are the days willvic shadowed him, then its proven beyond doubt that he was / is a cheat. i thought it was far more subtle than that. his hr is regularly 150+ as yuo would imagine, and as we have been saying.
My post was answering the very specific allegation that Goodge's pace slowed significantly in the second half of the day when under WC's observation. Given that is what I was responding to, and no one has refuted the evidence I've presented, I take you all accept that was a bare-faced lie.
I have never once defended Goodge, or claimed he isn't cheating. I simply don't know, like everyone else. But the black and white group hysteria on this thread means that unless you are an active participant in the witch-hunt you must be "pro-Goodge" and there's no room for challenge or debate. It's pretty unedifying.
He said anyone can still come out and observe/say hello/get photos. Just that he prefers not to have to chit chat with strangers for 16 hours a day. It’s understandable.
Serious question for the haters: If today was the first day he was forced to run in earnest, with visitors "from start to finish" who randomly came out, then why is his HR still in the low 100's for the day? Shouldn't it be up to 150 for the whole day as you claim?

Have you found someone who's run with him for 16 hours?

Barring injury or accident WG is going to break the record. The only questions are by how much? and will the documentation be sufficient to ratify? If I recall it took some time for Dave Proctors Trans Canadian FKT to be ratified due to some issues that various people had with it, but it eventually was accepted by FKT.
