Am I right that I read somewhere that his fiancee and children went back to Poland because he couldn't support them?

Yes.

One child went back to Poland with mum.

His other child is by another woman, who,according to Rob, he hasn't seen for a few years.

Trouble with this guy is that no matter what he says you just don't know what to believe. If Dustin Brooks or Kev confirm it then I'll believe it.

The weirdest thing of this whole thing is the complete vanishing act. No concession statement, no "due to injury we regrettably must suspend our record attempt."

One sentence!

Instead. The vanish. It is all so very very weird.

They're extremely busy. Dustin has tracked down all the IPs to those who have posted in this thread and they're now taking them out one by one. That's why this thread has slowed down so much.

RYI, if you have the whole book, you might want to factcheck the sections in which he mentions any of the 8 marathons he raced in 2014 or any in 2015. I looked at the Halifax results since the part you posted mentions it. That one checks out. He says sub-4 in the book. He ran 3:53.

I don't have the book. I've only seen the free initial pages in amazon.co.uk.

I don't have the whole book (it's only a couple of $ on Amazon by the way, for the Kindle version), but you can see more pages for free on Google Books (and search for keywords):

https://books.google.com/books?id=B9QaCgAAQBAJ&pg=PP1&dq=marathon+man+370&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false

I'm not in the UK. Amazon doesn't allow me to buy the kindle book, I guess because I'm not in the UK? I don't know. The google link has no preview pages outside the UK.

You could try to visit Amazon.co.uk

Or maybe use a VPN.

This was just posted:

"Unfortunately Rob was heating up some sausage rolls in the RV's oven and went out to get in a couple of extra miles while waiting and this is what greeted him when he came back (I was away doing deals):

Everything went up including the TomToms, Lap Tops, etc just as we were about to unload all the data Strava later that day."

ロブは詐欺師です

Do you know if the cut up shoes were also burned? My opening bid is $1,000

New Book Release

Ultra Troll: How We Trolled the Trolls on the Ultimate Troll Forum

By Robert Johnson and Weldon Johnson

Available: August 2016

ISBN-10: 1471152871

ISBN-13: 978-1471152870

"It all started at a New Years party at the end of 2013. Weldon and I were sick of the way that our own forum--the forum we created--kept criticizing our good friend, marathon world record holder, Paula Radcliffe. We had talked about it often. We had tried to answer the critics. We tried to counter with more puppet names than we could track. But nothing was working. The trolls kept getting worse.

We had tossed around all kinds of ideas. We tried to influence our friends in the media to boost up Paula. We created a big scandal with the Nike Oregon Project as a distraction. But nothing seemed to work. The Letsrun trolls were relentless against Paula.

Until I had a great idea. But could we pull it off. It would take years of planning. Weldon was skeptical. But I insisted, and we would have to start soon. A lot of work had to be done, creating fake personalities and building their online history to make it look all so real. So much to do. Races, blogs, charities, RV's, books, watches, and sausage rolls--yes, sausage rolls. Love those things. We would create Marathon Man UK. The Letsrun trolls would think they were uncovering one of the biggest scandals in recent running history. They would never know they were playing right into our hands. We would troll the trolls. Suddenly, we had a lot to do before April."
