365 marathons in a year

Bit early to try bring someone down based on anecdotal evidence.

Nice try. The days of this bs working, if it ever did, are long over. The cheaters mantra of safety is the reverse onus - they can say they've achieved any improbable goal and everyone else has to try and disprove it. That's not how the world works and never has been. No idea why anyone falls for that psychopathic logic.

There is no evidence to support that this guy can do what he has claimed. There's just a bunch of made up data that looks wrong and proves nothing.

This guy appears to be a lying piece of shit - but he can feel free to spend a year running a marathon every day with a gps watch and prove he can do it. I bet that never happens.

I can't keep track of all these cheats/scammers. Has this one been logging his sausage consumption or not?

A few years ago I made a goal to consume 365 sausages in a year. I video recorded each episode and uploaded it to pornhub. Within 2 months I had a sponsorship from Trojan.

This guy is missing out.

Did you log cadence and heart rate data? That's the only way we'll know if it's real. Maybe you were using fake sausage.

It appears our man doesn't like sausage. He's more of a banana fan. He just uploaded this picture of what fueled his latest run.

His manual miles seem to be done on a treadmill looking at his facebook. The odd crazy fast mile on strava can be simple gps glitches. Him looking not looking emaciated could simply mean he replaces the calories he burns.

Not really I don't see how he is capabable of running a marathon a day and nowadays with all the tech available he needs to back it up.

From my experience he would lose weight as well

'It is possible a main sponsor may get involved, who will help with the day to day logistical expenses of getting to, and running in, all the races throughout the year, covering entrance fees, marketing for donations, petrol, hotels and food etc. '

He only seems to have run a couple of races. Sponsorship aside surely you'd do some races as well at least at weekends

Does the main sponsorship money get split as you pay or does it go to a separate account and is then dished out?

This scam is about to END. He's been saying he's run a marathon a day since LAST April. It ends in a few days.

With the likes of Rob Young's scamming he got a totally funded lifestyle, free gear and loads of free race entries.

That's why we pounce on these scammers now, in case THEY think they can do the same and just fabricate the evidence

His missing miles aren't done on a treadmill - he posts a load if photos to Strava along with the manual entries. He's got his phone with him to take photos but doesn't use it to record his run. Why would that be?

He won't reply when I ask him about data and evidence. He opens my messages on his page, but won't reply.

Now does that sound like an innocent person?

Bullshitter.

Probably planning on getting a load of media attention and sponsors and free stuff when his "year of marathons" is up in a few days,

So keep your eyes on this guy, to see if he gets any sponsors on board

Do you think his thigh muscles are as strange as those of Eliud Kipchoge?

Sounds like he has already benefited from free stuff:

How are these sponsors THICK enough to just dole out free kit to a scammer and never ask for any evidence he's doing this?

This scam has been going on an entire YEAR. It ends this Sunday with a big celebration and everyone telling him how amazing he is - puke....

He's logging genuine miles so far this week. I checked a random recent week, 13th - 19th March. It shows 105.2 miles manual entry plus 80.6 with gps, unless he provides evidence of these manually logged miles then it appears he is faking more than half his "marathons".Breakdown is as follows:13th @ 08:49: 27.4 miles manual data14th @ 05:08: 8.8 miles with gps data14th @ 14:15: 16.9 miles manual data15th @ 10:08: 26.4 miles manual data16th @ 04:24: 20.5 miles with gps data16th @ 18:34: 6.4 miles with gps data17th @ 04:38: 13.9 miles with gps data17th @ 14:49: 11.9 miles manual data18th @ 07:02: 6.2 miles manual data18th @ 09:07: 3.1 miles with gps data18th @ 09:53: 16.4 miles manual data19th @ 04:33: 27.9 miles with gps dataAnyone else fancy analysing a random week?

He's got a polar gps watch and uses a photo of it to justify a few manually entered miles. That's probably genuine, but why doesn't he use it to provide all data for his runs?

Hi Ben Rogers - please share your watch data and we will all STFU.

I can't believe all you shitheads who know nothing about Ben can say such horrible things. He doesn't have to prove anything to you and is a better runner than any of you will ever be. I'm going to his event on Sunday - are you?

i think if you're claiming to have run 26.2 miles everyday for a year then some sort of evidence should be provided to support the claim.

manually entered Strava data doesnt count. its the equivalent of keeping a log with pen and paper.

im sure Ben is an honest guy but his method of recording this historic achievement is well below the expected standard.

i've often been told if its not on Strava then it didnt happen. by extension, if its manually entered on Strava then it probably didnt happen either. even if its done on a treadmill and you cant supply gps data surely you could still use the watch to get cadence and heart rate.

"He doesn't have to prove anything to you"

Wrong, that's what Rob Young, Dave Reading, Vaz, etc, etc thought.

"is a better runner than any of you will ever be"

Wrong again.

"I'm going to his event on Sunday - are you?"

No, why encourage an attention seeking cheating scammer?

Is the event catered? Have you realized how fat he is?

Forget the pen, in this blokes case it's pencil, so if the figures don't add up he can rub 'em out and redo them.
