Official William Goodge TransAus World Record Thread, Perth to Sydney, 35 days, 68.5 miles a day

400km in 9 days is a good effort for someone with very little running background , let alone in multi-day.
why not just document your experience without the world record carry on and accompanying histrionics? you can still do it as a charity fundraiser.

Can we get back to Gooch. Why does his pace move from consistent fluctuations in the first 3 days to flatline on the days thereafter? Is this a byproduct of saving the watch battery or something more sinister?

No Strava for yesterday? And so few media updates. He is smashing Turnbull, and the prediction here and his Insta for 105 heart rate came true. Has to be a tech fail, and that's what Goodge has said in the past on Rich Roll, but how do u so accurately predict tech fail so far in advance?

when the watch is the only thing to keep him accountable it fails.
when there are crowds, cameras or timing mats it works fine.

I’m not sure what to make of this pattern other than there appears to be a pattern.

i thought people out there had planned to meet up with him by now?

Wow, have just compared Goodge with Hardest Geezer:

HG 51k in 7 hours at 127bpm
WG 110k in 15 hours at 105bpm

We have a new Hardest Geezer

Mantz would beat ingebrigtsen over any distance.

We urgently need reports from the field. Maybe someone could get him to agree to appear on video for even just a few mins running at the pace he's claiming while showing a HR of 105. If he's on the level, he would agree to this immediately.

P.S. He received some gushing coverage from Canadian Running Magazine that failed to mention any of the "controversy" surrounding his other charity efforts. Very interestingly, this article was written by the same person who broke the story about Camille Herron's wikipedia transgressions. Where is the healthy suspicion of Goodge's exploits? Is Canadian Running afraid of his sponsors?

I've posted under the article on FB, but there's been no response whatsoever. Why don't others give it a shot?

British ultrarunner takes on speed record across Australia - Canadian Running Magazine

https://www.facebook.com/marley.dickinson

Over the next month, Will Goodge of Ampthill, U.K., is running 100 km a day in an effort to break the speed record for the fastest run across Australia

Link:runningmagazine.ca/the-scene/british-u...

problem with that is they clearly do something to the watch. So he could potentially run a quick K off 105 and say, 'there you go!' Nobody runs 6:40ks at 105 in a multiday. Certainly not stringing so many together.

He or his crew chief [who paces him at a much higher pulse] must answer why his pulse is always super low on these very, very specific, hugely expensive challenges, about once every 18-24 months.

He did seven early K in a row today in the 90s!!

What watch does he wear do we know?

COROS VERTIX 2S

He's at it again, I see.

I don't do social any more, but why don't you post the link to this page? I see that the article says he's fastest Brit to run across America, when he's not.

is there a link to the facebook page sb has posted on please?

As it relates to general public interest in this run, WG insta is registering under 5% engagement. I'm not sure that anyone beyond the general fan boy population cares.

It's more the fact he's making a stack of cash whilst making an ass of the sport...
