My company Run America is doing an interview on him....I ran into his Strava account as well...hope to get some really good information and If you do any research at all you can see thru athlinks that he can run some pretty fast times as well. I hope to have it posted in the next few days and will post to this thread.

Interview now like .....started a thread on letsrun called "who the f*ck is mike shattuck" if you wanna post under that new thread!!
Mike is a real tool. When I pointed out to him that he wasn't running he became aggressive and resulted to name calling. He's not doing a Marathon a day either. Yes hes running over 26 miles, but he is piecing together a series of runs in a day to get to 26+ miles. That isn't a marathon.
I notice that he has also canned he so called world record attempt, not really a surprise though. A marathon a day for the rest of your life has to be one of the dumbest things that I have ever heard. What a waste of a life.
He's now taken to flagging all of my runs on Strava because he is bitter and twisted over the removal of the leader board on the Strava monthly distance challenge. He's also taken to joining all of my running clubs in an attempt to dominate their leader boards.
He's no the only one though, Strava has become infected with wackos collecting GPS data then uploading it as a run.
Honestly you sound like a tool for taking it so seriously as well. Let him upload his "runs" whatever way he wants. Who cares. Live your own life

Sorry you should not be entering running challenges if you are going to walk. It pisses on the achievements of those that do. Mike is nothing more than an attention seeking bell end.

He's been harassing other people on the strava mileage leaderboards saying that their accounts should be shut down because their runs are fake, despite them having lower weekly mileage numbers than he does. Dude has clearly built a bit of an ego around his mega-miles. I find the whole thing intriguing for sure.
That doesn't surprise me. I'm looking forward to watching him fall apart like a cheep watch.
I'm not certain this shows anything new about what the 'human body is capable of.' In all likelihood, clinical evaluation would reveal multiple organ systems beset by considerable chronic stress and diminished in function.
Does anyone know his email address? I have some Iraq gold to sell.LOL
Chris H...I'm not sure why I care...but I saw your stuff on Strava about leader boards/walking/flagging runs/hashtags/etc...chill out...geez...it's not like anyone is making money by being a "leader" on Strava...you're just coming across as a jerk.
Typical runner with OCD. He needs some help and not praise.
Chris. You are absolutely right. He is not running a marathon every day. He is running the total mileage of a marathon a day with hour or more long breaks between. To me the definition of a marathon is the time it takes to run 26.2 INCLUDING water, aid, bathroom. The clock starts with a chip/gun and the clock stops once you hit 26.2, PERIOD. By Mike’s definition one could theoretically run a 1 1/2h ‘marathon’ in 24 hours if you were fast in the mile.
I also find it crazy that he talks about kindness, love in one strava comment. Only to have another comment where he is clearly angry and negative towards another runner.
It’s seems like money (or lack there of) and his job (or
lack there of) are really soft or trigger points for him.
If you want his email, I am sure it can be found on the inter webs just let me know.
Lastly, I hope this inspires at least one other person out there. Ha!
