I think you've confused the idea of running 100-miles in a day with sitting in your booster seat eating puffed rice while Mommy drives you to your grandparents.
Robert stopped already again. He probably wants to make sure that it is dark when he crosses the bridge.

Looks like he will soon cross the MO river on 370. There is a webcam there that has a view of the bike path. I gotta run to dinner so cannot watch. Here is the link for someone that wants to see him actually run by. I believe he may be doing this legit.

Anyway it seems that Robert's tracker is on the move again.

Looks like they researched where all the webcams are. SHOW TIME!

Yeah, I thought the same.

They are now changing their profile pic to him.
He must have real charisma to fool so many people. But psychopaths are usually charmers.
I think they will continue supporting him no matter what. Its like he has hypnotised them! They won't read this forum, and seem oblivious to the truth.
Is your handle "Big Al" or "Bi Gal"? World of difference!
Bi Gal sounds fun, I want to meet her :-)) I'm Alan and i'm fat :-)))
Does anyone know if Robert Young is being drug tested periodically for performance enhancing drugs as part of this run by WADA? If not, this run is even more worthless than it already is.
He Y'all
I am on my smoke break but wanted to let y'all know that Rob and the crew stopped by my IHOP and ordered the Grand Slam breakfast and 3 orders of biscuits and gravy. They showed me the GPS data to prove the run fer real.
They told me to tell Y'all that this laz fella can kiss their pasty Brit posteriors!
Gotta git back to work!

His route has him running the Katy Trail between Black Walnut and Machens - it's a rails-to-trails so no support vehicle for that ~5-8-miles. It will also be quite dark.

Or.... wrote:"Why is no one yet following him?" That is a great question.
There are a lot of torches and pitchforks out and one of the easiest ways to get to the bottom of everything would be to go out, meet the team and Rob. It's hard to believe that there's nobody on this forum that lives or knows somebody in the St. Louis area. Call a local run store there and ask them to go out and verify.
Here's the thing: I encourage people to follow him. Ultimately, though, it isn't going to prove anything. The question is not whether the guy is capable of running 25-45 mile days at 12-20 minutes/mile. (That is what we are seeing via the tracker now, and that is what people who follow him will see.) there are thousands of people who are capable of the same thing, and whether he keeps up that pace to do a trans-con crossing in what they will claim is 55 or 60 days, or whether he quits in Ohio or sooner is really not the question.
The question is: has he already cheated? The answer is clearly yes.
Reason #1 I know he has cheated: This morning, along with tens of thousands of runners around the world, I uploaded my morning run to Strava. It shows where I ran, my heart rate, my cadence, distance covered, and time. It took me about 30 seconds. They have a mobile app that works on your wireless signal-- if you can post on Facebook, you can upload to Strava or a similar site.
Adam Kimble-- a much more accomplished runner than RY will ever be-- tried a transcontinental record attempt this spring and logged it all on Strava. See here:
https://www.strava.com/athletes/11620352#interval?interval=201603&interval_type=month&chart_type=miles&year_offset=0We know RY has the technology to do this. He hasn't. There is no logical reason why he wouldn't, other than cheating. It's much easier to upload to Strava then it is to take photos of a computer screen and upload those to Facebook.
Reason #2 I know he has cheated is everything posted here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NBkfw48Jv6JlP0gBLP5JbPt6qz5Qfyf105fIXYa_hAk/mobilebasic?pli=1
To get your cadence on strava, do you have to run with a phone? I hate runnign with a phone.
So he will swim across the MO river? Has to go over the bridge and pass the webcam.

Umm... How are those "NOP is cheating" accusations going?
Pretty well actually. I was told Salazar hated me in 2002 as on these boards people talked about drug usage in Athletics West. 13 years later, we find out that former team members and an assistant coach are so worried about what's going on in his group that they went to WADA who opened up an investigation.

I have my Strava Profile linked with my Garmin Connect account. It all transfers over from my Garmin Watch, to include cadence

No, any relatively recent garmin or tomtom will log cadence automatically. It's actually a pretty useful feature and in this case would definitely give some credibility.

He's crossing at Alton (Hwy-67) ... the MoDOT website is not showing any cameras at that crossing.
I did find a camera at the interchange of Highways 94 & 67.

What does cadence mean? Is that something that they treat down at the clinic?

But it looks like he's going to miss that one ... he'll transition to 67 a couple of miles before using a side road.

If you are wrongly accused of anything, stick to the facts that rebut the accusations and frankly admit when you cannot, don't avoid questions or give half-baked excuses or non-answers.
Frightened of knife-wielding stalkers - my arse!
But there's another interesting thing going on, which is that some people here, the schadenfreudists, resent even the slightest attempt to subject the rush-to-judgment--in this case, the judgment that Rob Young is an incurable cheater & liar--to the requirements of empirical fact.
When one or two posters here mocked the wildly appreciative quotes on Young's "what they're saying" page, I took the trouble to email Prof. Lieberman at Harvard and ask if, in fact, he'd said what Young had quoted him as saying. He said, "Yes." I reported that here. The first response was "LOL." As though....what?
This thread hasn't taught me anything I didn't already know about the LR forum from 12 years here. You're got some mature adults who are actually trying to perform due diligence, and then you've got the kiddies raised on video games and anger porn.
The reality principle is a b--ch. But I'm glad it's there. Let's honor it.
