This is the spreadsheet I just typed up off the Robert Young photo album of TomTom screenshots of which there are 70. Some of those are duplicates. The timestamps of a few are hard to read so may be blank or slightly mistyped.

Good work. Did you get any running totals from this?

Do you mean group the data by run or walk? I have been looking at that but the pace is a continuum so it would have to be arbitrary. Like

All for this - but we need a summary that outlines the case against him.

Can someone create a Google doc or something that we can edit and then send to SI, DN, etc.

Feel free to edit this file:

I meant 'running totals' as in, just the totals for each day, and then a total overall.

Why would he say "I have not taken a penny from it." We already know you wouldn't because you are the most humble, inspiring, guy with the courage to rise up out of a childhood of abuse and run your first 3 marathons in 2 days off the couch and drop 5min miles in the middle of your runs just because you are amazing. KEEP RUNNING FOR THE CHILDREN!!!

If they almost broke up just because he was away from her too much, I don't think they'll survive this. As you say, it's very sad and you have to feel for his family.

Also to people saying he may be a stand-up guy but he's cheating. I think it's clear that what's he's doing makes it impossible for him to also be a stand-up guy. He has no integrity, therefore there's nothing 'stand-up' about him.

Pretty clear he's more of a sit down kind of guy.

This is the best we can do, it looks like there are some missing sessions but its not possible to tell whether its a data gap or he was resting.

It does look like it went into freefall around the time this thread started up but could just be an unfortunate coincidence.

This afternoon I will be drinking beer and watching Euro 2016 soccer. I will be doing this to raise awareness and money to find a cure for childhood cooties.

I've started a GoFundMyAlcoholism page.

The van travelling at running pace away from the runner makes zero sense.

Was the car wash footage before or after the incident with OP?

If they were terrified and drove off, why would he be 15 minutes behind the RV only a little bit later as stated? Wouldn't he stay close to the van for safety reasons if they were so rattled?

Did the carwash video come before OP came up on them or after?

Where's 26th May? That's the day something really strange was going on. That was the day he apparently ran 82 miles at altitude, 41 of which were below his marathon PB pace...

One page (#66) is very fuzzy but I've revised the totals for June 8th and 9th to

8.5 52.51

9.5 42.17

so a bit better than I thought, but still no meaningful running since the morning of the 7th. Of course he isn't obliged to run at all but nonetheless its a worrying sign of fatigue.

The only entry for that day is 8h 16m of static ie zero miles.on image #2.

I expect that that 3 hour sleeping habit is catching up on him.

Check out October 11 and add up the times.

Something is definitely wrong on October 11.

Btw, for others reading, to access this data, you have to log into mapmyrun.com first and then click on the links in this and other threads. If I try to log in after clicking the link, I can't access the data.

Back to October 11, Rob claims to have run his 193rd "marathon" (run of 26.2+ miles), which was 28.67 miles started at 1:04 PM Oct 11 and finished 4 hrs, 42min, 45sec later, which would be 5:46 PM.

But he claims to have run 194th "marathon", which was 59.74 miles started at 9 AM and finished 15 hrs, 17min, 43sec later, which would be 12:17 AM the next day.

So he claims to have run two "marathons" at the same time. There's also a third entry of 26.53 miles (which must be his 192nd marathon) on that same day, but I can't get that data to open.

Someone who is familiar with mapmyrun, help answer some of my questions.

(1) Is it correct that you can draw your own route and then enter your own data (start time, total elapsed time) without uploading that from a GPS watch or other device?

(2) Can you copy someone else's data and relabel it as your own, such as a route?

(3) Rob's data shows pace and KCal burned. Does mapmyrun calculate that based on distance and time (and possibly body weight) entered? Or does that have to come from a GPS watch?

(4) Can you upload data from a GPS watch into mapmyrun? And if you do, does it then automatically show mile splits? I suspect Rob's data in mapmyrun is not coming from a GPS watch because there are no mile splits.

Why will they not upload the GPS data? I think this is the only question we should keep asking until an answer is given. RY himself admits in a video that more data is needed. We know the data is there and I think that all the other questions (rightfully asked) gives them room to avoid the most important question. RY cannot play dumb to this as he called out Vaz on the same data issues. So once again to Rob and team. Why will you not upload the GPS data?

I see some people maybe wanting to follow him with out being in direct contact via an personal introduction. May be legal where you live, but I would think twice about potential liabilities . It could easily look like stalking and harassing and if an accident happens on your watch, that won't be cool.

Don't do stupid stuff.

OMFGOD, only in the US someone would be so paranoid.

HEY ROB, HOW IS THE RV HOLDING UP?

On the subject of internet, read this from their blog:
