Robert Young fakes run across America

The thing I can't figure out is why he'd walk back around behind the RV instead of simply waiting for it to drive away and starting from where he got out.

Unless... if you turn on satellite view, is the spot where he gets out grassy or sloped in a way that would make it difficult to run? Then he might go back behind the RV to get back onto the road to run.

Maybe he sits on the towel on the bumper, and jumps off when he sees a car approaching.

Question: do most criminals and ne'er dowels do their dirty deeds in the light of day or the cover of darkness?

Not to get far off topic, but what is in the picture on #32?

Rob young in an interview said child abuse beatings are the cause for increase tolerance of pain and the ability to,perform incredible feats of running endurance. Any scientific research to assign a cause and effect here?

I like sausages and I like HP Sauce on them. I like running. I like eating sausages while I am running.

On the TomTom runner watch (the older one), press down to bring up the menu, down to highlight sensors then right to select this. Then it will show you a new menu saying Heart press right and then you can turn it on or off.

We don't know whether he watch is the first or second model so it is possible that he could and did turn this off (but you cannot turn off cadence).

Earlier a poster saw a light flashing on the watch that means that it would be the second model, but as he has two watches it is possible that one of the watches would still be the first version and so without the heart rate data. (Assuming you cannot turn off the heart rate on the second version - I do not know if this is true)

According to his Facebook, he received a TomTom in August 2014.

Thank you very much ‪#‎TomTomBoy‬ Sam Cousins (& Ricky Wood @ Up & Running East Sheen for the intro) for making all the effort to visit, run & supply me with a ‪#‎TomTom‬ Runner Cardio GPS & Heart Rate Monitor last night.

This device will help Dr Courtney Kipps & his sports / medical science experts @

track my heart rate data & also help me upload my running data much easier.

Alistair Parkes Thanks Sam at TomTom (& also Ricky at Up and Running, East Sheen. We really appreciate use of your "highly accurate, innovative technology" to help us share Robert's heart rate & running information with Dr Courtney Kipps, consultant sports physician at UCL's Institute of Sport, Exercise & Health (ISEH) - who's also the assistant medical director of the London Marathon and medical director of the London Triathlon. See:

Through pushing himself to his physical limits, Rob has also become a person of scientific interest to Dr Kipps and his ISEH colleagues, Bruce Paton and Dr Phil Hennis, who are working with Rob to assess his pain thresholds, improvements in VO2 Max and other physiological tests. They will continue to monitor his physical levels throughout his marathon journey.

Anyone notice some interesting edits have been made to RY's wiki page recently?

Very stupid to do this. As a result, the page might get locked. Wikipedia is no place for jokes.

Looks like it is Dustin Brooks doing the vandalizing after getting frustrated with all his propaganda edits getting reverted.

Agreed. Several of us are monitoring the page to revert suspicious edits.

How do they fake the data when they are going uphill in the van between 5 and 5:55 mile pace at 7,000 feet?

Wonder what RY could have done in this?

One to send to Skins and Lucozade, etc on how it should be recorded and how easy it is.

this guy slows during his uphill portion and speeds up when the down hill portion gets steeper. Unlike Robbie that can run just as fast uphill as downhill.

Why?, I didn't see anything wrong with it, in fact it seemed fairly well balanced and truthful.

I bet he gets a sunburn too.

I don't think his watches would have enough storage for all these runs. he likely would have been periodically downloading them to a laptop. This would explain the GPX uploads. It does not explain the lack of cadence data.
