Another run across America underway - is it legit? Boots currently on the ground

Please tell me Gabi wasn't engaging with this clown

This is Will’s run. Knowing what people are like on here, I’ll leave R57 to share his if he wants. But the miles run together were 30-36

whoops, you have outed yourself. pls ignore your previous posts.

Ummmm, because recruiter57 is in on the scam? How can you read this thread and not know that.

I'll take a stab at it: Because recruiter57 didn't actually do that?

Didn't you have to message Robbie to get "rules of engagement" before you were allowed to join? Or is that not the case now?

Yep. BOTG will need to have more stealth. It has to be a covert op. It's the only way.

Rather than make conspiracy theory stabs in the dark, maybe do a little leg work, check out the Strava, work out who ran with him, check his Strava for the 6 miles he did. Compare them and notice that there is no change in cadence or hr in RG’s for that time. So I’m still waiting for a sensible suggestion for how he’s cheating.

Could you kindly explain how this scam is being executed?

I suppose Will C would question whether recruiter was actually with him, but what day / miles on strava?

Will G already has a few hours during day 26 of the low HR under Will C’s observation. There were periods of other days under obs showing it, but Will C’s contention is that it a long way off what it is following his departure. In his reply to people asking him about it (maybe page 40), he suggests they did it deliberately to throw him off.

Getting a few more would force Will C to need to seek other theories.

I’m torn on this. I think the evidence (post day 26’s data) suggests Will’s running. Perhaps jog walking 50 miles per day with an RV simply isn’t particularly hard on the body if you’re well fuelled etc, even if you’re not even a sub 3 marathoner and have only run 2k miles in the previous year. Heck, maybe the extra muscle mass is somehow helping at these speeds / distances.

I do find the HR data argument curious, but I think it could be a quirk of how they conduct operations (although that still doesn’t explain why it consistently improved when Will C pressured them).

i agree it's so strange. probably scared of litigation, there's no way they're not following it

Precisely. I am a 3:30 marathon runner and have run 17 days of 52 miles and felt completely fine, stronger at the end than the start. I have also run 70 miles a day but only for 5 days and no way could have kept that up. But like I say, I’m a very average runner.
WillC (on FB) actually doesn’t doubt R57’s miles and you can work it out who it is by looking at the Strava like I did. It isn’t rocket science.

Who other than PK who is best buddies with RB ?

?

That's pretty poor form to insinuate that. I have nothing to hide as you can see from my most recent post with my strava feed. I'm not afraid to show who I am either. My name is right there...and I am registered on here rather than someone hiding behind a random username.

Care to take back your insinuation that I did not do that? Or, do you choose to not acknowledge when you are mistaken?

Thanks for posting that. Maybe you should also confirm that you are not a member of WG’s extended family or a Nucalm employee, as there are people on here who assume that anyone suggesting he may not be cheating must also be in on the conspiracy

Haha. Let me confirm, under the LR oath, that I have no affiliation with WG, RB, any member of the crew, not a representative of NuCalm or any other of their sponsors. I am an average runner who has been running since 2012 and have run 200+ races from 5ks to marathons to ultra relays. I am inspired by those that push their bodies beyond limits. I am an optimist while still set in reality. I am a believer in building people up rather than tearing them down. I am not in on some conspiracy.
