Robert Young fakes run across America

Congratulations on your successful run across America!

You didn't quite make it all the way but you made a valiant effort.

He said he could make it across the United States 2 times with the love, posters, cheers, and high-fives from the children with the 100 mile club charity shirts on.

Robbie needs you to cheer for him.

Cheer for Robbie.

"valiant effort"

Real comic book stuff:

So is Robbie going home DEVASTATED?!?!

A comic book hero.

What's really amazing is that there are people who actually believe in comic book heroes, even ones like this scammer.

Coach Kev spent 12 hours with RY and they covered 24 miles. During that time they stopped for McDonald's, stopped for a massage, and called an ambulance.

Before that, Kev drove all over looking for Rob and couldn't find him. He believed the crew story that it was because Rob stopped in a field for a game of Quoits.

Kev also couldn't figure out why Rob had no blisters after 350 miles in the rain.

Kev was awed when Rob ran a 5:30/mile pace for about 30 seconds.

A fookin' genius we have here.

If you find it at the airport you'll eclipse Peter and be trending towards Fake Laz lore! Though I have no clue if an airport even allows RVs overnight for security regs

Like it or not he's going home to sell out speaking engagements.

No red flags there. None at all. Rob could play soccer, frisbee, and football while running across the USA. A side game of Quoits should be expected in a 373 mile run.

I also find it funny that you have your friend who has allegedly run over 300 miles for 3 days without sleep run along the busy A5 in the rain. Traffic whizzing by at high speeds. No concern about stumbling or disorientation, you know, the normal kinds of things that people experience deep into a long ultrarun.

, you know, the normal kinds of things that people experience deep into a long ultrarun.

In all fairness to the crew, the baseline for what's considered normal stumbling and disorientation for Rob is probably off the charts above average.

For the children my ass.

I had not seen all 20 photos until now. What fun!

This is a fun one:

The quote is "Want to see the medal I got from todays Marathon/Ultra It is massive and awesome"

Oh my Robbie.

Yeah he does have that look of a dumba$$ on his face

Rob should tell him he's seen UFOs with his own eyes

Kev (I'll stop calling him a coach) wants to believe so badly that his man can do extraordinary things, well, just because. There are apparently hundreds of Kevs on FB doing the same.

Are you sure?

What do you think about these photos now?

What does Robbie think about these photos now?

Possible charity fraud indictment anyone?

Thank you for your considered reply

I agree with many of your comments and believe me no one will want the truth more than me. I have put my balls on the line and continue to do so in support of someone I believe in.

That may be idiotic, stupid, dumb, and all the other superlatives given against me but I prefer to call it loyalty. Maybe blind loyalty but at least I stand by my convictions.

As I stated on a FB group I will be the first to apologise publicly if this all turn out wrong.

I am looking forward to a good conversation with Rob and his team and to get answers to many questions.

If I had answers of proof of many of the things continually asked of me on here I would post them. There is zero point in continually asking me for them when I don't have them. I am waiting as much as you are.

As far as running down the A5 with Rob goes I have video of this too. It's lashing down with rain and scary at times. This is why he specifically asked for pacers to try to ensure his safety. I ran behind Rob and kept talking to him the entire time to ensure he wasn't losing it. I had to run ahead of him while filming but only did that whilst filming.

So whilst I appreciate you views I have mine. Deluded or not we will all have to wait and see.

I can see and appreciate the mounting evidence but I don't necessarily agree with it.

To say he was an overweight unfit guy who smashed out three marathons isn't that far fetched (even if the were his words). He was an ex Triathlete, ex Army and ex cyclist. If you have a decent level of fitness it doesn't really leave you and I believe the army training and his previous sports will have gone a long way to being able to run marathons over so many days.

Many of you have questioned the validity of the times and I guess no one will know except Rob.

As far as questioning and suggesting mules in London and other marathons I find that very far fetched and typical of the conspiracy theorists who examine everything in tiny detail.

Rob ran plenty of marathons and ultras in his year and many have been recorded. Yes there are a decent selection that he did himself and i'm sure some haven't been recorded.

What is interesting to me is that he has been credited with a certain number of marathons and ultras that year but he actually ran many more. Because he didn't have the necessary documentation to support them they didn't count. This is what I have been told as I am so deluded and pray to the alter of Rob Young.

I'm not going to post again until everything has come out in the wash and I'm sure there will be plenty of posts slagging me off again.

At least I have the balls to post as myself and not hide behind a keyboard with a fake name. For those who post under registered names this doesn't apply to you.

Well stated Sir. But surely you realize that there is no "mounting evidence"; Rob and you are just being trolled by 2 - 3 basement dwellers here on letsrun.

Most of us continue to both admire and support Rob, who btw has already made it to New York state!

Kev - sometimes changing your mind is the right and brave thing to do. Forget loyalty.

People don't run 3.19 marathons as untrained 210 pound fatties. Particularly when it's their third one in 30 hours. Even if they were in the army 10 years ago.

Good luck to you though and best wishes for the future. Happy running.

If I abandon Rob now, I will be saying goodbye to the best reacharound I've ever had in my life. I may be craven, but I'm not stupid.

A "decent level of fitness" and the ability to run a 3:19 marathon are very different things, Kev. Being able to ride a bike or be in the army do not guarantee a person can run 26.2 miles in that sort of time, much less when they have already supposedly run 52.4 miles in the preceding 24 hours.

Your loyalty would be admirable if it wasn't so badly misdirected. And I'm not sure why you think blind loyalty is such a great thing - it's blind, after all, so it cannot see sense. You have demonstrated this many times to good effect.

My bet is that we will never ever get any answers out of Rob, nor will you. He's a liar, cheat and narcissist whose only interest is self-interest. Such a pity you haven't been able to figure that out for yourself by now.
