In other news: Mike Rossi is in jail. Yep.
I did so well through about 400 or so pages of this thread but now I'm getting burned out. There a string of un-clicked on blue page numbers and I'm having major issues getting up the motivation to read through them all. Anybody want to sum it all up for me?
Every superhero needs a good origin story.
On page 14 of this thread, from the book, "That day [the day of the bet] he researched online about marathon frequency records (Larry Macon's 157 and 239; Richard Abad 366)." I forget which page I read about Eva being a witness to his first marathon; she was there because witnesses are a requirement for consecutive-marathon records. If she was indeed there, it contradicts his story that he started on a bet and just discovered he was good at it.

Would that be the Eva of East Sheen who writes children's books for children's book publisher Dustin Brooks of East Sheen?

Rob made the 20p bet with Joanna in the morning, then called Eva that evening before his first marathon to ask her to be a witness. It wasn't until after he started running consecutive marathons that he discovered he was good at it. Although he said in the book "I had been in the Army in my twenties and I was always the one who could march the furthest and the quickest with a heavy pack. Then I was a pro cyclist for a while and represented Britain as a junior triathlete, so I knew I had some sporting ability and a talent for endurance."
"To be taken seriously, I knew I needed to run official marathon courses, even if they weren't being marshalled at the time. The only local marathon I knew about was one held in Richmond Park each year."
"I needed witnesses to verify my story and, as soon as I could, GPS tracking. I read different versions of this online, but most said I needed at least two people to sign off as witnesses of my runs. I asked Joanna to come down and then called a friend, Eva, and asked if she could come out to witness me running."

Robbie is MarathonMan-WorldRecord-WorldChampion.
MarathonMan UK does not even know the correct distance of a marathon!
“She took my bet and the next morning I got up in the early hours and drove to a certified track in Richmond and did the whole 26-mile, 365-yard course.
“I had only done the odd fun run before that so it was a bit of struggle but I felt strong enough to do the same the next day, and the next, and the next. It sort of snowballed from there.â€
Rob started getting up at 2.45am to run a marathon before work every day. In September last year he left his job to live off savings and focus on running for charity.
https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/138134/surviving-dads-abuse-spurred-me-on-to-run-417-marathons-in-14-months/Even his first 3 fake marathons were not a full marathon distance.
Hey Robbie! The actual distance of a real marathon is 26 miles 385 yards.
Robbie did not run the full distance. He was 20 yards short of a REAL FAKE MARATHON DISTANCE. Sorry Robbie. You are a total failure at cheating with fake marathons.
It seems that pattern started a long time ago with 20 yards and just kept getting worse.
This has lead to the present debacle for TeamRobbieLiarâ„¢.
Oh well.
Correction: has led to the present debacle.
Please try to focus.
OK?
CoachKev to the rescue on Amazon UK:
'Rob recently attempted to break the record for the fastest crossing of America on foot. One piece of flimsy/dubious evidence was presented to cast doubt on Rob and his team by many anonymous people. The same people are determined to question every aspect of his life and every achievement he has made.
Rob failed in this epic challenge but the haters are determined to ruin this man who has worked tirelessly to raise money for a variety of wonderful children's charities.'
Right.

Oh boy. They have now decided to try to find out how to be an ultra runner!
Unfortunately…Robbie now has a broken tiny toe.
Here is a photo of Robbie wearing SKINS and cutting the course in another marathon (26 miles 385 yards).
Robbie looks like he lost some weight for that race.
CoachKev sure needs some coaching.
Robbie's form is "exquisite"!!!

It's all a story. The verification makes no sense for the 20p bet.

LOL. I knew Kevin O'Rourke had an alcohol addiction (they call him the WineMan,

Baker, haha... I told them too. I think he'd be great. At least a guy who we know has half a brain screwed on right who is capable of understanding GPS data and running ability.
Just finished a 64 mile run wrote:
I haven't ever logged or looked at GPS pace data, so take this as you will...
The sections in the really mountainous areas have some really suspect spikes in pace to me, especially when the grade adjusted pace is used (I don't know how accurate that adjusted pace is).
Turn on the GAP in the following run, and there appears to be a pattern. The spikes corresponding to outrageous adjusted paces are all going up steep hills after a steep downhill. However, the The spike in the GAP is not at the valley of the hills though, it's a noticeable amount up the steep hill. That seems like how a vehicle could coast, not a runner in my experience. The runner loses all momentum going back up hills like these after a few steps, not meters up a hill. And the runner's real pace would just drop.
Look at the one below. There's examples everywhere, but most egregiously, the GAP drops to 2:35 per mile going up a 21% grade after going down an 18% grade near the end of the run. But that GAP is ~1/3 up the way of that hill which looks like it would be ~100 meters long. Also note that the actual pace going down the hill is 5:00 to 5:10 per mile and ~5:15 going up the hill. There's no way IMO those paces would be so close together for a runner. Could a world class sprinter could run that fast up such a hill?

Is there any possibility the seemingly erroneous GPS data in the mountains is because of loss of/low signal in the valleys which are then caught back up at higher elevation?
Perhaps someone who frequently runs in places like this could attest to whether or not this is potentially valid?
(I'm not defending RY, because I'm 99.44% certain he cheated frequently in this, and even if this explained part of the seeming anomalies, the total average pace is still inconsistent with what has been observed.)
