Robert Young fakes run across America

Thing is according to the filming times overlayed with the tracker... he never broke 7:00/mi while being filmed. If he did, he didnt make it more than a mile at the pace because it didnt register anywhere in the tracker. So I'm sure he did a little bit of legit running while being filmed. He also didnt get but about 40-50miles per day while being filmed, similar to the totals while geezer squad was there.

That's him.

I've responded and would blow this off, but as you are Mr Marathon Investigator, I'm going to point and laugh a little.

J Edgar, #59 is Gary Allen. Who has run more sub 3 marathons than you have.

I had a different number.

Try harder.

He rarely even breaks 8:00/mi during the supposed filming times

ROJO, can you email ESPN? Was this ever done? I just did, but I'm not sure if they'll take a "media inquiry" from a random guy on Gmail.

"Hello,

Allegations of Robert Young’s cheating are heating up (http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/jun/22/robert-young-marathon-record-attempt-cheating-rumors), and I am wondering, can you confirm your presence with Robert at all during his trip?

On his Facebook page, he said "I have had ESPN THROUGHOUT FILMING EVEN THE SECTION HE HAS JUST POINTED OUT.” in regards to a stretch of running surrounding midnight on June 4/5 in Emporia, KS (http://imgur.com/rrpaN3Z).

We know now, from citizen video and surveillance video, that no film crew was actually with Robert at this time.

Curious what the actual extent of involvement, if any, ESPN has had.

Thank you,..."

I made a graph of how many miles Rob ran each day at sub 7 pace. (sub 5 pace exluded)

Elevation profile included as well as notes helping to show the drop-off when accusations were made.

Open to suggestions for changes or additions.

Originally i had sub 10:00 pace on there as well, but it got too busy. It was interesting to see that he pretty much ran all of his miles at sub 7 until he was accused, then immediately nothing under 10.

meh. it was a quick reply that yes, that you were indeed THE Robert Lopez. I was wrong, and retract my response that you were MM# 59. Fair enough?

Why would they do that, especially now it's made a UK news site.

This wasn't a girl but a Polish/American man, Kuba Wuls.

But yeah I don't think CCTV or ESPN have ever released footage of Rob, so that was probably a lie too.

I agree this scammer should be exposed, to the running community and the legit charities.

Exactly.

This is outstanding. That's over 565 miles at sub 7 pace. This clearly demonstrates massive cheating. It wasn't just 2 or 3 miles here or there when he got really tired, but large extensive blatant cheating with full assistance of Michael Speicher and Dustin in the RV.

Excellent work!

Please add it to the spreadsheet, or it will be gone forever.

Great work on this one RYInvestigator.

Awesome!!! Would be nice to see another big string of zeros at the end there. Can we get this man the KML data? I know it exists somewhere - "Rob Arvie" on Strava posted all the data up to the hospital/Golden Corral ending.

What is so hard about that?

You do not want race Rob Young on Festivus.

Festivus tradition mandates that Airing of Grievances precedes feats of strength. Robbie got that one backwards too.

So, what is the cheater going to say when SKINS asks for the data? He might not have to share anything with us but he has a contractual relationships with them and they would have standing to sue him for damaging their brand. Will he delete it all (if he has not already done so) and claim it was an accident? Will he give them faked data and pray they can't prove it's fake?

I think someone is sweating a lot more now than he ever did while riding across the western U.S. in an air conditioned RV.

He does mention the ESPN guys showing up (and there's a photo of some filming) in Kansas in early June in the "Day 22-24" entry. Just before the shit goes down.

So, I take it back that nobody saw ESPN. A filmcrew that he calls ESPN (might be ESPN, might be a freelance crew) was there.
