I think people just need to keep posting questions politely on his fb page, and other UK running related websites. He needs to account for all these race victories stated on his website as well. If he is unable to provide data to prove he is on the level, then he should expect people to question him.

It's not visible on the graph, but prior to Asher's post he was doing up to 20 consecutive miles at sub 7 pace.
This most probably proves the RV did advance at this speed, only GPS data from a wrist worn watch can confirm this evidence and nail this cheater down. Because he can always argue that the RV left him for these 20 consecutive miles to go for a Quoits game somewhere.

Yes. Consistent polite questioning rather than agro knickers in a knot shouting will be more effective. Like the student who politely stood in front of the tanks at Tianamen Square made that event more memorable than any violent protest.
BTW, no complete data will be provided, as Jaimie is appointing the auditor.
Please head over to Amazon UK and leave some reviews on RY's book:

Excellent comparison. That's exactly how I feel. Let's stand up against tyranny and evil. We can change the world!!!

Done.
I do think a nice summary of confirmed lies/suspicions would be good, for general purposes and since Mr. Fuller seems to be asking for any tips. Happy to add someone as an author on there or take contributions.
Anyone know of a good free software that can do the following:
So I know we have a pastebin list of suspicious running by Robert, but I think a UI for that would be very compelling and informative. Something that could show, on the map, where are the sub 6 miles? Where are the sub 3:10 marathons?
I think Strava premium shows you best efforts for various distances during your run? Maybe GoldenCheetah?
Side note here was a nice post from the UList:
"Here's a sample of stretches from the marathon man's tracker. They are in 1
to 2 mile increments mostly, so over long periods of time they are
relatively valid for showing his pace. So on May 26 at 1:20am he decided
it's time to turn on the jets.... according to his tracker he averaged
between 9-10mph from 1:20 until 3:47 to go 22 miles in 2:27. A 3:08
marathon pace. Impressive enough by itself considering how far he had run
up to this point. But it does wear him out, so he takes a ~3 hour break
from around 3:50 to 6:50. Then he gets back out on the road and immediately
jumps up to ~9mph and runs 18 more miles at that exact same overall split,
3:08 marathon pace..... seriously. There are some slight ups/downs in the
speed, but over a 7:40 period he covers 41 miles with a 3 hour break in
between.
That is simply phenomenal.. it would be a pretty good run on its own... but
in the context of a transcon... AMAZING!
After that he winds down and gets back to a leisurely pace mostly between 4
- 5mph with some 3mphs sprinkled in. Really burned himself up with that
stretch above. By May 28 though, he's recovered and hammers out an 8.25mi
stretch in 48 minutes before going back to mostly walking.
By the night of the 29th at 1:20am he's again recovered and does some of
his best running yet - an 18.6mi stretch in just over 2 hours, a 2:53
marathon pace! That winds him a bit so he takes 30 minutes to recover, then
back out again for another 5.25 miles in 35 minutes. Now he's really pooped
though, so 1.5 hours of rest before going back out for more. This time it's
23.6mi in 2:53, or a 3:11 marathon pace.
On the 30th at midnight, more of same thing. 18.25mi in 2:12, or 3:09
marathon pace... kind of wears him out and he slows down to finish a total
stretch of 27.1mi in 3:27, or 3:20 marathon pace. He stops for about 90
minutes to gather himself, then turns in what may be one of the greatest
all time mid-transcontinental stretches of running ever: 14.1mi in 1:24
(2:36 marathon pace, 1:18 half). INCREDIBLE!!!!!! But it does kind of wear
on him to go that hard, as he needs another 30 minute break after this
before jumping back out there and logging another 9.8 miles in 1:16, or a
3:24 marathon pace.
But he's not done yet, now he is really hitting his stride. On the 31st at
1am, another great section of running yields 19.4 miles in just under 2
hours (2:40 marathon pace).... man I hope he's recording these splits in
his logs, he may set a new marathon PR on this transcon! How can he say
he's not as good as Yiannis, this is some of the most unbelievable great
running in history!
In total over that 5 day 2 hour period, he covered 388.76 miles, or 76
miles per day, by the strategy of burst running ~3 marathon pace for 20-40
miles every day and then walk/jogging the additional 30-55 left over.
Which sounds exactly like what every noob multiday runner thinks they'll do
but quickly finds out is suicidal.... but this guy is clearly something
special!"
Wow. I did not see these splits until now. These are excellent examples of IMPOSSIBLE. Can we get this information to the Guardian?
Will Rob vote leave or remain?
I heard that if the UK votes to leave the EU, Scotland will declare immediately its independence and the UK will cease to exist. This would mean that Rob becomes stateless and will be stuck in the USA forever.
There was thread started on the runnersworld UK forum yesterday where RY was getting slated, and there is no sign of it this morning.

This is the latest nonsense.
Let's turn elementary school children into food snobs. That way they will have no clue whatsoever what is going on in the world. I mean, you wouldn't want anybody asking any questions about the Global War on Terror as it enters its 15th year. Better they be preoccupied with the proper way to sautee carrots.

This is absolutely fantastic!!.
Robbie does not look like a 'World Champion', 'Champion of the Year' or a 'World Record Holder" who ran 195 miles per week for 52 straight weeks.
TeamRobbieâ„¢CharityFraud meltdown is starting to accelerate now.
Robbie is becoming even more famous than he already thought he was. Robbie is now in a story in the Guardian.
Robbie is going to become famous…just not quite in the way he had planned .
Are you having fun now Robbie?
I am at 110% maximum retardation Robbie.
I am going to have an espresso and enjoy your nightmare.
It is going to get worse Robbie.
Oh well.
7 minute miles is nothing.
I asked one of the Hanson's if Brian Sell was doing a 160 mile week, how many of them could he run at sub 6 minute pace. He said at least 100.
There are guys that have the talent to do this, but their marathon results are faster than 3:07.
Confused. Is Rob the one with the ball?

This graphic tells us crystal clear that the RV had no trouble whatsoever traversing the mountain terrain. It is hilarious to think about what probably went on during these huge sub 7 days. I bet Dustin or whoever was driving probably got so tired that he could not keep the RV running slow enough. Ooops! Complete idiots!
This is a really great job by 1 2 3 green. Very well done!
Can we get this graph to the Guardian?
A possible idea:
How about a chronological report on Robbie the pathological liar and his lies?
Start with Robbie working at Norman motors (the auto parts store)...Robbie then getting bored… Robbie then running his first 3 fake marathons... his invention of 'marathonman UK' within 48 hours… and then all his fake runs for charity through this latest fake transcontinental run.
Hey Robbie!
I think your story could be made into a movie we could see on Netflix!!!
What fun!
From here - http://www.redbull.com/us/en/bike/stories/1331782443051/kurt-searvogel-annual-mile-record?wtk=13807406905246 - a story about Kurt Searvogel who just averaged 200 mpd cycling to break a 76 year old record
How did they verify the record?
I had to wear a heart-rate monitor for identification, we had a Garmin tracking all my miles and a SPOT tracker to verify the Garmin data was real.
Irritating noise? Elke was endlessly entertaining. The Fanboys and the board mod all want to run with Rob and hold his c^ck while he pisses out his nth espresso. They'll never be convinced of anything. They've got religion.

The funny thing is the "running gods" on that site all run their own running businesses (race directors or positive shoe reviewers for hire). ...RY is bad for business hence the denial and censorship.
Bit sad as it used to be a good place for info.....now just self promotional "look at my wacky race series" or "Buy this Skins top for $200 it will make run awesome like Roby"
As I read it, Elke came across as somewhat intense and with a personal grudge. She? was passionate but made personal attacks, which did not endear her to the group. Spamming every single post in favour of RY rather than putting a single or a few carefully chosen posts meant she turned into irritating noise.
Fred.
Robbie said I was retarded.
That was not very nice of Robbie.
It is not a good idea to get me into a potentially volatile emotional state if I have not had enough espresso.
Oh well.
I was able to get some video of Robbie's run through the desert to Laughlin.
There were a few problems in this section of the run:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm4Xj_5bslg
Oh well.
Robbie was still very fast in this section.
Looks like another one, quick screenshots everyone...someone has objected to the US spelling (bit of a giveaway eh!)
Fred.
As you can see in the video…Robbie was wearing SKINS for that section through the desert.
Why would Robbie wear SKINS for that desert section?
SKINS look like they would be hot and sweaty in the desert.
That guy looks like he was in the video of people singing to Robbie.
Robbie's fame just keeps expanding like an exploding fake supernova with many different colours.
Oh boy.
