It is beyond suspicious if you don't have a strong GPS route conformation for each day. There is no reason not to have your runs posted automatically via Garmin and Strava. If I were doing something that I wanted other people to know about, I wouldn't just "manually post" anything.
p.s. Hasn't this been done already by a guy from Belgium? Stefaan Engels? He even ran a solid 3:21 during that streak... which is, on tired legs, not "just walking" like some 5-6 hour marathons are.

That's right. Stefaan Engels aka Marathon Man did this in 2010-2011.
That guy is legit, ran a 3:16 debut and a 2:57 pr at age 44. Of course, during his streak, most of his marathons were easy and around 4 hours or slower. Lots of his marathons during that year were official marathons or half marathons (that he ran twice).
Someone doing this now, ten years later, is no big deal.
And as the previous poster said, Strava or it didn't happen, and manual uploads are fishy.

A marathon a day doesn’t count unless you focus on self promotion.
