Robert Young fakes run across America

i wonder if one of those humongous Golden Corral patrons ate Rob and the crew by accident.

Unfortunately the tracker wasn't on Rob.

"Working with Perfect Storm, sports performance clothing manufacturer SKINS unleashed their purpose by challenging what is harming the sports industry "

Has this been mentioned? His big sponsor is a sports performance clothing manufacturer, and RY is wearing a borrowed button down shirt? Is that right? Can't be.

The red flag was allegedly 2 legs (50.34 miles) at race across USA on April 24 in 7:59 (essentially 8 hours), not 7:00 before flying to London to run 3:07. Just clarifying the 50 mile time that's being questioned. Still a red flag since 2 days before 3:07 in London.

Maybe a red flag. But it's not really that unreasonable. 50 miles in 8 hours is not especially fast. For someone who was turning in a marathon a day sustainably, it wouldn't be a hard effort, plus he had a day off before London. I think I could likely do that combination. No way could I do a lot of other stuff Rob claims.

Robert Young literally fell flat on his face trying to run multiple fifty mile days. I seriously doubt he completed either efforts within the rules.

Sure. Stringing together a bunch of 50-mile days in a row is much harder than stringing together a bunch of marathons, then one easy 50, then a day off, then a 3:07 marathon. Totally different world.

Again, not that I am saying he did any of these things (though faking London would seem to be difficult). Just, from my perspective, there's much lower-hanging BS. You're looking at stuff that in principle is very doable.

Hi Rob.

Congrats, Dr Bob, you are getting the "hi" treatment. This must be very exciting.

Eh, whatever. I know it's mostly noise here. I'm just trying to inject a bit of hopefully useful perspective here and there.

Congratulations to Let's Run Community for getting rid of another fraud.

Well done folks. One day people may learn.

Hi Rob.

Go back to the Rossi thread, kiddo.

The last I've seen from the team is a reply on Facebook to Lindley Chambers comment about 8 hours ago. He's still saying he'll realise the data. Anyone seen anything since then? I'm kinda worried about him

Is this guy AWOL? No posts to social media, his blog, nothing.

Interesting if he shows up in NY claiming to run the rest of the way.

Speaking of behalf of LRC, we can only hope so.

Don't waiver, Bob; don't let these depressed, off meds, millennial basement recluse LRC keyboard cowboys get you off point.

This was his comment to one of the facebook comments calling him out.

Marathonmanuk --- Hi Lindley Chambers I will be entering a 6 day race. I went from an average around 68 miles to 50 ish because of the leg. I cannot control the issue and still did 61.70 miles on the issue before seeking advice ...............

Won't he be surprised to find out that they don't allow RVs on the course during 6 day races!

Actually, depending on the course, the RV might be able to be staged at the S/F, but it's not going to be moving with him in it, which I guess is what he's used to.
