IS THIS BOGUS? Dude says he's run 4:02, 13:43, 28:10.

    LM I just looked him up on Strava and the guy looks like he just started riding this year. If you look at some of his rides on the Blue Ridge Parkway he's ranked on like 20 of the climbs. If he really did start riding this year that's pretty impressive considering there's over 1,000 people on those segments. Especially since most of the guys are pros or cat 1/2 guys in the top ten like Ben King who's a world tour rider.

    If he was in the top 20-40 or so for some of those climbs then it's likely he's close to a pro or Cat 1 level cyclist. He may be Cat 5 but it might just be that he hasn't raced, just does a bunch of high level training. That's not implausible at all, someone who is very fit with low running economy could make that jump in a year or two.

    Claiming 28:XX 10K about as extreme as it gets without any support to back it up though. Isn't the Olympic A standard 28:XX? So basically, claiming a 28:XX is claiming to be an Olympic caliber athlete in all but maybe 4-5 countries.

    That said maybe the guy just doesn't race and actually is in that shape. You don't need to try to ruin his life. Didn't Abdi Abdirahman run 14:XX in jeans and converse sneakers off zero training when he was in college?

    It shows him as a Cat 5 cyclist and a 13:41 runner. And a dualathlete. I think Cat 5 is the highest rating for a cyclist so he should be pretty much unbeatable on the duathlon circuit.

    cat 5 is the lowest level as a cyclist

    Actually, he is the one ruining his own life by LYING BLATANTLY in a very public way (twitter, instagram, strava). If it was done privately to the OP or if he wasn't actually lying it would be a different story. But this guy is putting up total lies on a public forum for mass consumption.

    How do you know he's lying on the Strava rides? Just cause they're pretty fast?

    Why did he delete all the incredible times?

    If they were real, he would be able to show proof where they occurred.

    Ie.' I ran the 13:43 at x, and Joe and Al saw the race

    I DEFINITELY call the OP is a blatant exaggerating liar honestly.

    Their is no way you would remember all the PR's a guy randomly said in front of you unless u wrote it all day. 13:43 and 28:10 are both very random numbers, I bet OP made this up as he's jealous the OP is faster than him and just being a douch canoe.

    So it's worth it to lie about times to gain street credit if you can get away with it?

    But, and this is a big butt, what if he rode those times? Completely plausible.

    The problem with this is what if someone hacked or got access to his accounts and decided to mess with him by putting those times down, and the LetsRun crowd here took it upon themselves to try to ruin his life?

    Then it would suck. However the odds of that are ridiculously slim.

    Not to mention if someone just stuck that there for a few days or whatever and he didn't notice, it would be pretty easy for him to just say "some dude hacked my account and posted a bunch of nonsense". Doubt his life would be remotely close to ruined. Anybody he knows personally would know he hasn't been claiming ridiculous runs.

    Moreover, he has years worth of runs and posts claiming similar stuff. Even more unlikely someone has hacked his accounts without him noticing for multiple years.

    Hey dickhead what's it like living in your la la land. And let's just for a moment accept your conspiracy theory could be correct, doesn't explain what he said to the OP in the running shop and doesn't explain why he hasn't come on here to explain himself, instead he's wiped all his internet presence, stuff he put on there by the way.

    He's a narcissistic fantasist and he's been outed, get over it, the OP and LR sleuths and trolls have done him a favor by bringing it to his attention, he may now live in the real world going forward.

    +1

    remember Letsrun's homeboy Rob Young first called out via social media Mark Vaz who claimed a Land’s End to John O’Groats record. If you put it out there, expect scrutiny and if you are a liar you will be called out.
