Robert Young fakes run across America

Wiki on avulsion fractures:

Generally muscular avulsion is prevented due to the neurological limitations placed on muscle contractions. Highly trained athletes can overcome this neurological inhibition of strength and produce a much greater force output capable of breaking or avulsing a bone.

Yeah well, if he could produce a much greater force, he would be able to crank out some 4:40 miles in a 25 mile run.

He doesn't have any talent to do that. He's mediocre, and it's all continuous

bullshite scamming.

Team Robbieâ„¢ is NOT the real deal. A wikipedia link is pathetic Robbie.

Come on! You can do better than that. Well. No. You can't do better than that.

I guess working at the auto parts store got a little boring.

It is much more fun to be a World Champion. Robbie Young as fake World Champion is still a much better job than Robbie Young working at the auto parts store.

I run 80 miles a day on the treadmill in my mom's basement.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Hi my name is Steve Pope and this is my first post on Lets Run. I've never met Rob Young and hadn't heard of him before I was shown this thread by Chris Finill, with whom I ran across the USA in 2011.

I do not believe Rob's distance claims for the early part of the run, but would change my mind if presented with GPS data that backed them up along with real proof of an ability level at Ultradistance running that was on a par with what is required to carry out this feat.

Now, a question for you on this forum:

I stopped running ultras after 2011 to concentrate on the shorter distances, but I must confess that this fascinating thread has got me interested in trying for a fast Trans America crossing before I get too old. What is the level of proof that I should aim for?

Well done to all of you for your hard work in exposing a fraud, by the way.

I thought you were doing High Intensity Interval Training in your basement.

I also gave Ed Whitlock (Really, Really, Really the Real Deal) some training advice.

I told him that I thought his aerobic base is now developed enough after 85 years of working on his aerobic base... and that he could now move into a speedwork phase to peak later this year for another 20 REAL WORLD RECORDS.

Ed said he thought my idea was stupid and that doctors were bad people with needles.

Then Ed ran away again.

Darn.

Use some sort op GPS watch with cadence meter and preferably heartrate. Upload your daily runs to Strava and you're good to go.

Hi, this is my first post on letsrun, too.

I run in my mom's basement, and I am training for my first trans America crossing.

Any tips would be helpful.

Here's exactly what I would do: I would do this everyday. First, I'd wake up in the morning, record my location and start time in a physical log. (Pen and paper). I would snap a photo using location. (literally all this takes is a cell phone nowadays, any iPhone can do this). I would start my GPS watch (that records cadence) and I would run. I wouldn't ever stop my watch, as a deuce break, a food break, etc can all be seen on the data. At the end of my run, stop the watch, take a picture, log it physically. If you rest and go back out the same day, repeat the process. Finally, I would upload all that data daily to a public site like Strava and Facebook.

Thanks for giving me the info needed to manipulate my data. Cheers.

LetsRun, war is on.

James White "Have a look at Letsrun"...great advice...if you want opinions from tin hat wearing, sweaty, fat, conspiracist theorists sitting in their mums basement with nothing better to do than make up shit from anonymous accounts about a subject they know * all about.

Rob has said he will provide proof. Let's take a look at that when it comes out and I've no doubt that it'll prove him honourable. Until then Markus why don't you refrain from rehashing the same tired arguments and piss off back down that hole you crawled out of.

Also post your route and invite the brojos, doubler, and anyone else to follow you without conditions.

It's Rob that has stated it an avulsion fracture, it just says 'fracture' on the medical papers.

He should have stuck with stress fracture, but once again exaggerated and dropped himself in it.

"Avulsion" is written on the medical paper in the third picture, looks like by a female. Typically, if a patient is unclear on a specific word or phrase, a nurse will write it down for you so you can look it up later or have the word to reference in the future. My guess, they told him he had an "avulsion", he looked confused, she wrote it on the paper as well as describing what that actually means.

Is that the Chris Finill who has run every edition of the London Marathon in under 3 Hours?

Ah, OK. I'm no doctor so will leave it at that,

That scenario could be conned easily. Have a friend capable of similar paces and HR run for you many of the days. Or bike parts of it slowly at 4-6 mph and manipulate the cadence and HR on your computer in a spreadsheet before uploading. You would need 24/7 non-stop video for it to be credible, along with data.

Running through the night is rather smart. Cooler temps. Less sun exposure. Less traffic.

When Jennifer Pharr Davis set the AT record around 46 mpd. She says that she never really hiked fast. She just was constantly going slowly.

Receipts for all sausage rolls.

So how does this Sri Chimnoy 3100 mile race compare to the transcon. Some Swede won SC3100 last year in 40 days 9 hours. Averaged 76 mpd. But that's a very controlled environment, circling a 6/10 mile city block. No hills or mountains or desert.

http://3100.srichinmoyraces.org/ashprihanal-aalto-wins-3100-mile-race-record-time

That's jog/walking 4.5 to 5 mph for 16 hours a day. Or 12:00 to 13:20 mile pace. For runners, that sounds easy except for the cumulative effect of little recovery time for 6 straight weeks. Then it's not easy.
