I keep asking him about these 300 marathons and Paris time. Not getting very far!
His page -
Running The World 196
I really have run these marathons. One day I’d love to post a full list of my scrapbook. As for Paris, I will see if I have the data. Once again sorry you feel I am not genuine. I’d like to think that I am a pretty decent guy. Take care. Cheers

Oh dear me. If you ran marathons you would be in RESULTS.
Which marathons did you run? You are not in results for 300 marathons.
If you ran 26 miles 300 times just for fun, these are NOT marathons. Marathons are official races.
Where is your watch data to show you ran 300 marathons?
No one wants to see a scrap book!
We want to see race results and Strava proof.
For Paris you boast a time on your website much faster than the results say.
he ran 3:25 in paris (april 2017) as per the link. he ran 3:21 in manchester also april 2017. he claims he's ran 2:55 but the best i've found is a 3:14. I think he is just exaggerating his times, not completely making them up. as i've said before, 196 marathons over 18 months is about 1 every 3 days. he has half decent fitness if he's running 3:15 marathons so i really don't think a 5 hour marathon every 3 days is going to be particularly hard.

He'll probably do a few official official marathons but not run the rest or not run the full distance.
Someone who blogs that they ran 3:04 when the just ran 3:25 is a compulsive liar.
Just checking his blog you can see he is clearly not doing enough marathons to get to 100 never mind 300.

He is claiming he's ALREADY done 300 marathons. But won't say where or show any watch data.
Marathons are official races, not doing your own runs, and there's zero evidence of his own "marathons" either.
Now pretends he cant remember his Paris time.
Cracks me up how easily "sheeple" fall for these phony cons.
I think in the 1800's when lots of people fell for con's, it was actually less their fault. There wasn't information and data and freely available.
Now? We're in the era of data and people can't be bothered to validate claims that seem shaky.. sad, but hey - is what it is
Well anyway, according to the countdown clock on his website he's officially started. So I'd expect the first marathon to be on his Strava within 12 hours.
On his blog he shared s picture of his watch showing 3:04 it's not far off his 'pb' how are you going to forget that! The official results show 3:25.
You'd think who lie about something so easy to check. A runner I know sent be Strava of a 31:xx trading run. He's not broken 17 for parkrun. The first time he met me his on for 5000m set when younger was 16:02. Now it's changed to 15:20. He's another personal trainer!

I've asked him six times now what his Paris time was. Ignored and ignored then he said he would go and check - then disappeared.
Why lie you did 300 marathons when it's so easy to see he hasn't!
So someone boasts about 300 marathons and when you ask which ones he says he'll "show you his scrap book one day"!!!
Wut!???
What does a scrap book have to do with him naming his 300 marathons!
Marathons are races. They should be listed on his athlete profile. They aren't.
Is anyone else talking to him?

Yes, you should contact "whoever" can get it out that he's obviously cheating or lying. I truly can't believe people do this knowing eventually someone will call them out. The guy is an egomaniac on too many levels to count.
...found the Cardiff University Half results from 2016. Nick wrote that his result "wasn’t far off PB of 1:22. My time was 1:26"...Nick also posts a photo of his Garmin Watch split (1:26:45/distance 13.1)
The official results have him listed, as a 1:34:42 chip time, or a 1:41:33 gun time.
Amsterdam Marathon 2015 - claimed he ran 3:08, but results have his net time at 3:13:03, gross time 3:23:58
http://www.tcsamsterdammarathon.nl/en/results-2015/
Athens Marathon 2015 - claimed he ran 3:11, but results have his net time at 3:13:54 and chip time at 3:14:48

What the hell is wrong with people!!!! Cheaters never learn. How discouraging to read such crap. The guy should be ashamed of himself.

Nuts isn't it. The races he's actually done are quite good times, so why lie?
But the 300 marathons lie is ridiculous. So he says he kept a scrap book about running 300 marathons but only a handful appear to be real ones and nothing on Strava for these 300 either.
Confabulation?

He's playing the naive nice guy role, much the same as Ben ROGERS did when we asked him why there was no proof he ran 365 marathons in 365 days. Both just made out they didn't really know about watch data and are just doing it "for fun".
Acting stupid and being polite seems to be enough for a lot of people.
his first marathon in on strava in toronto.
4:39. average cadence 145 (very low - odd). flyby doesn't work - odd. says he met up with a local club but strava doesn't show he ran with any other people - odd.

That is a low cadence. And Run TO would have had a posse out there with him. So wtf.

4:39 isnt much above a shuffle. 145 cadence doesnt seem that low considering.
