So you can see this guy's strava profile here and the times he's claimed:

Last year when I was working at the local running store in Fredericksburg, VA this guy came in looking for a training partner and proceeded to tell one of the fastest people in town he had run under 14 for 5k and 28:10 for 10k. Now as far as we knew the only person in town even remotely capable of that was Tim Young and we suggested he could get in touch with Tim, or he could run with the guy who he was talking to in the store.
According to someone who has worked for a long time in the Fredericksburg running community said he'd seen the guy at some local races and he had run in the 17-18 minute 5k range.
In the last year this dude has been snatching up CRs on strava, but picking some that are fairly attainable and it seems like he's targeting specific ones because they're be the only place on his run where he goes that fast. He's also posted a couple of silly workouts on the track, but they're not recorded by GPS.
What I want to know is, can there possibly be any way this guy isn't making all of this up and is slamming runs to try and build some street cred? Could he actually be a legit runner?
