In that 11th mile there is an uphill section with a maximum speed of 1:26/mile or 42mph.

A 400m effort in 46s?!?

- The Brighton marathon is mentioned once (just a mention it's one of his favourites).

Excellent catch. It looks like the "Weeks 24 - 16" section is the closest match, but even then it looks like the author tweaked some of the language.
I'm not really sure what to make of this. It seems like a lot of this generic running advice is copied all around the internet, who knows if the "serpentine" running website was the original author or not. Same goes for our other find, although that seems to have more clear authorship information.

looks like RY and team got a little carried away. That looks like a dangerous section of road, probably trying to hurry and get past it.

LOL! Loved that.
His FB likes seem to continue to increase every day at a static rate - has he got some kind of auto-like generator on FB as he does with Twitter?
I dunno, nothing they do makes sense. Maybe getting in extra GPS miles to cover gaps, hoping Guinness would just look at total miles and not make sure it was all continuous.
The 2nd section is actually after the Geezers arrive.
June 13 at 18:07 they log 9 seconds at 40 mph going the wrong direction.
A few minutes later, at 18:12, a normal run starts at about that same location going the right direction.
It was their first run after a 6 hour break. Most likely the 40mph segment was accidentally recorded while driving back to their starting point for the day.
Anomalies like that are interesting, but don't really tell us anything other than they aren't very careful.

If it's that stretch around mile 11, the watch retraces the path after that section. Surely he ran 42 mph up the hill then jogged back down to get in some more hill work...
Does anyone have the capability to check how long the watch stopped prior to the carwash CCTV in Emporia in the strava data (near mile 4.3 I believe)?
According to their paces, the tracker and watch appear be together after starting at the same point from a long break. They appear to stay together up until about 0.6 mi west of the CCTV, where we have the final tracker point before the increment where the RV drives past the camera. The data actually make it look like the watch gets to that point before the RV, but I think that's just an artifact of the 12 min increments of the tracker. The watch passes the CCTV about 8 min after that point 0.6 mi west, and the RV would likely make it about 3-4 min after that point. If RY didn't break for about 5 minutes before the CCTV, it doesn't seem like he's the person in the infamous yeti video.
There's also a buttonhook in the strava data just 0.2 mi west of the CCTV, right before the watch drops to walking pace. If that is RY getting out of the RV, the stopping break would have to occur right there and be maybe 7+ minutes for him to get separated from the RV by 9 minutes.

I think that's pretty normal behaviour for a Facebook page with 10s of thousands of 'likes' (real or not). It will grow gradually and organically.
If we'd have been watching it when he bought the fake likes, we would have seen very large jumps. He gained his first 12,000 likes in 14 days (857 per day), which is vastly higher rate of growth compared to now.
If you think that only running brings out the fakes you'd be wrong. Here's an article about an Indian couple who 'summited' Mt. Everest with faked data, deleted FB posts, etc.

Damn, I throw out an idea, go to bed, and when I wake up, someone has already run with it and done the job. You guys are awesome. If only my real job worked like that!
So are you going through and adding timestamps to all of them now? Would it be quicker to just run them all through a script that uses the same dummy start-time, upload them to Strava, let the LR community crowdsource the real start times based on their locations, and then re-run the script with the actual start times?

The final numbers: 8 flat pace...

That's a really good find.
Can't imagine him doing 20 miles at sub 6 pace at altitude when he is clearly struggling to run 8 flat pace as his belly fat wobbles all over the place
Each individual GPX point has a timestamp.
I show the GPX leaving at 23:08
At the 1st tracker point, 23:14:25, Rob is with the RV.
At the 2nd tracker point, 23:26:25, Rob is with the RV and starts to walk.
At the 3rd tracker point, 23:38:23, Rob arrives 2min after the RV at 23:40:31.
The button hook occurs at 23:46
Rob passes the camera at 23:49
http://imgur.com/a/ZSrKzmost likely the CCTV is just about 5min off.
Whatever came of this?
Here is the plot of the Emporia arrival, including stopped time (generated with GoldenCheetah software):
http://imgur.com/Rji14OWThe only real non-moving times is about a minute after the 15-minute RV-riding section ends. Then it's ~5 minutes of walking, ~10 of running, ~5 walking, with the buttonhook not obviously occurring near anything RV-related (maybe he saw something shiny on the ground?) Then walking steadily, past the car wash, for some 35 minutes before stopping for a minute at a house's front door, and shortly after, 10 minutes of stoppage at Mary's Place.

nah ... no cheating going on. just a misunderstanding of what "running" means.

I ran with Rob Young during his world record run and he was awesomely fast and a really nice guy. You meanies should leave him alone! He wasn't running for his own achievement but for the children, raising millions of pounds for children's charities.
