I wonder how much he is cheater and how much he is genuinely delusional.
Rob, if you are reading, please admit you lied. You are better than that. Perhaps people will forgive you if you come clean.
Hard to know, with split personalities even the best psychologists have trouble answering that, in fact it's hard to ascertain if he's delusional let alone "genuinely delusional".

He says race victories.

If the Virginia stage on May 26 was the final stage ending at the White House, he actually "tied" for the win in 4:18 with Bryce Carlson, a professor at Purdue.
June 2 was the last stage and Rob ran 3:19.
He says "96 Marathon and Ultra Race Wins." His wins on the short stages at the end of AZ, TX, AR, GA, SC aren't close to being marathons or ultras, not to mention it's lame to brag about dozens of race wins against 6 other people.
Good correction about the white house stage. Last VA stage was June 2. Chesapeake Bay the next day must have been the last stage at the Atlantic. I didn't pull the spreadsheet back down all the way when I looked at it. Not the most user friendly website with that embedded spreadsheet.
I just read the all ~385 pages. I know it looks bad for Rob Young, but I just have a feeling he is innocent.
Spoken like a man who's never run a hard ultra.

I mean I'll admit there is a microscopic possibility.
But then how to explain the silence and inability to provide one shred of proof which has already been recorded? The only possible answer to that I can think of is - he wants the long con. He's got us all talking. He's generating so much publicity. He will wait and wait until he's milked the publicity out of it, then make every look stupid for doubting.
But, let's be real, he cheated.

Back away from the bong, please.

That's probably just indigestion. Go eat some chalk and it will go away.
He also says 117 5K, 10K, half marathon, marathon and ultra victories. So it would be interesting to know when and where he won those shorter races.
I also find it odd that on his website he claims that from April 2014 to October 2015 he averaged only 3 hours sleep. Obviously, he tends to exaggerate. I've wondered if he makes this claim to answer the question, How did you have time to run marathons daily and work full-time. In his book, he claimed that for his initial marathon, he got up at 3:30 and was running a little after 4:00. But in the mapmyrun data, he posted that it was 5:30 AM.

These are split into 4 groups:
1) distribution of paces BEFORE 5/18
2) distribution of paces AFTER 5/18
suggesting a change in strategy around this day
3) distribution of paces at night (2200 to 0800 EST)
4) distribution of paces in the day (0800 to 2200 EST)
http://imgur.com/a/e9Jlfteam1, this looks good but I think that you should use a percentage instead of count.
I know, nitpicking.
WRONG! keep it as histogram counts!

Yeah, he does, it was only 2.
Mr Modesty is our Rob.

I think having fun about it is the main thing. As you see, I do some crazy fairy dancing around the course.
If you keep it as fun as possible, technically, your mind always stays focused.
Ah beauty, one for the sycophantic disciples. Kev would like that too, probably explains the quoits he saw him blissfully playing during that ultra.

If Laz had cracked a few more funnies Rob would nearly be in NY.
Can someone here convert the team1.kml to GPX format? I tried some online converters and some fiddling but can't get it to work. I know someone did it since its on Strava...
I want to run it through some software which will spit out some best efforts for time/distances.
Want to know the 5 best marathons Robbie ran? His best sustained speed for 12 hours? Stuff like that, I think it'd be cool.
And for that matter the post-geezer data would be nice too. I'll likely figure it out, just assuming someone knows how or already did it.
Thanks.

You silly thing you, he had an hour and a half warm run to get ready for the marathon.
The biggest lie in his book is when he ran his first marathon. He says he got up early in the morning to run it before work, and then didn't tell anyone at work. Bollucks.

And in 2014 Rob was pushing to get new rules established for ultramarathon challenges. Obviously wanted more than log books, tom tom photos and 10 minutes of video per day:
Interviewer (talking about Rob's marathon streak WR attempt): "You are doing some amazing challenges above actually running the marathon. When you've not got an official marathon scheduled, I think you're running the Richmond Marathon route, is that right, off the top of my head?"
Rob: "That's it. There's lots of different records, there's a lot of different rules and for me I want to be able to break the unofficial records and reset the rules. For me I think the rules are very lax at the moment and I think we need some really solid rules across the board all the way. Not only in this country but worldwide as well, because I think the way some people do it... I mean I think we need to be able to cement it a lot stronger. And I think maybe I can help cement it a lot stronger and get some rules which will allow some stability in the marathon world in terms of records."
