Did Mike Rossi (viral marathon dad) cheat his way into Boston?

Lurker here, not active poster. Interesting gps video on this guys twitter - total mileage for november 42 miles - so about 1.5 miles a day on average. On week of 5K race, there were 4 alleged efforts very close to reported race pace. Odd way to train to say the least.... This whole saga is unbelievably weird on many levels.

great catch!

Hahahah 42 miles! That's low weekly mileage for any half-a$$ Gallowalker. Mike is such a moron. And a liar, And a cheat. And NOT a 3:11:45 marathoner. Mike, you are an idiot. Hope you try to defraud the brojos again.

Mike,

I'm going to try to talk to you as an adult. I will not call you names, but I may challenge you on some things. So here goes:

Thanks for sharing whatever that was on your phone. It looks like you track your runs. Can you please provide the actual link to your Haddon Township Turkey Trot race? While you're at it, provide the link to the Lehigh Valley Marathon.

If you are really sure of yourself, go ahead and unblock me from your Twitter account and we can discuss it like real men.

Endgame is to be commended on his/her unique solution and historical precedent to this never-ending nonsense. I fear, however, that the proposal for a duel will run afoul of the authorities, so allow me to propose an alternate solution.

1. Mike and Ken "enter" Alford pleas (they do not admit guilt but agree that a preponderance of the evidence would likely lead to a guilty verdict in a court of law): Mike to cheating at LV, Ken to cyber bullying.

2. At Boston Expo 2016, both gentlemen are placed in the stocks (like in Colonial times). Ten people, led by the brojos and Dave McGillivray, throw tomatoes and rotting vegetables. The other seven spots go to the highest bidders amongst 2015 Boston qualifiers denied entry and LR posters subjected to abuse. Charge $2 admission. Proceeds go to BAA-approved charity.

3. All parties shake hands and the matter is considered closed.

I'll answer for him:He cannot provide the link to the turkey trot because it doesn't exist. He needed a week to throw together the bs runs on his nike app. The sole purpose of that video is to try to bull$hit his Twitter buddies into thinking he really ran those times. Some will believe him, most won't care. Those who know anything about running and/or Mike know it's made up. Thanks for playing once again Mike, but once again you fail to show anything remotely close to why was asked. Grow a pair, step on a track and record your effort. We would give the benefit of the doubt if you even broke 21. I am 100% sure your turkey trot time is bogus. I won't even discuss a sub20, it's completely out of the question.

Worst fake training log EVER!

More importantly he feels the need to defend himself against a "bunch of LRC trolls" in his own Twitter account. That's called desperation

The 11/27 trail run looks like a manual entry - no weather information.My guess is he walked the Turkey Trot course on or about 12/2 and edited the date and time fields after the fact

This sure is defense. This is the last German in Stalingrad. The city is razed to the ground. Between all the rubble stands a carcass of a house, almost collapsing. On the top floor sits Mike, no ammunition for his Mauser. The Red Army is approaching from all sides.

The only thing he can do is wave that white flag.

Hey Mike, when did you fit in that fantastic 5 mile run on NOV 27th?

You were on air in the morning, then a wedding later that day, not to mention tweeting your "tune of the day" around noon.

Then next day, bam! PR!

You stud, you.

I'll pay $500 for the honor.

THIS GUY IS A COMPLETE MORON. As someone who runs sub 20, those times are way too fast. This guy is an imbecile. He is pretty much saying he races or does a hard tempo run every time out. What an idiot

YOUR MOVE, STILLMAN. MAKE ME LAUGH!!!!!

And all at an average pace of 6'46"/m - no long runs, no easy runs, no recovery jogs. If, and it's a big if, any of these are real then it is no wonder he's always injured and struggles to finish every 10+ mile race he runs legitimately.

Oh it just gets better!

He has never properly trained and can't even fake a fake log correctly.

According to the time on his phone he started the race 7 minutes before everybody else did. How is that possible? LOL

Mike isn't really a runner so he doesn't understand how absurd that log looks.

Accurate analogy. But note the Russians weren't likely to take you prisoner so waving a white flag was not likely either.

This letsrun mob is not a good group to surrender to.

Looks like he embarrassed himself (hard to believe I know) with that one above and this one cos he's deleted them both:

Never mind, they've all been screen copied, along with this one

, by Ken for posterity and later publication in a book. Ken's asked me to call for title suggestions.
