This company has links to Rob Young! She has a tracker. I wonder if we'll get GPS watch data with cadence uploaded each night!
One to watch I think!

Hmmmmm, on the Sandra Vi (Villines) website, she claims:
Marathon: Personal Best, 3 hrs, 29 min and 41 sec
But does not list which Marathon or when. The best I can find for her is 03:57:31 at the 2014 Morgan Hill Marathon.

This selfie generation is getting a little out of control. Just trying to lead a nice quiet life with a daily run to take my mind off a miserable job and a world gone wrong while someone with questionable running credentials comes out of nowhere to publicize their epic run across the USA.
How about a run across North Korea? That would take courage and creativity! Or maybe a run to and through every Civil War battlefield, maybe follow Sherman's March to the sea, or best of all she could trace President Obama's fundraising trips to California to the heart of Hollywood's lefty liberal commie pinko millionaire elite.
I wish her all the best in her attempt, may she not cheat, and avoid all the millennial protesters that according to the news are everywhere knocking down statues just for the social justice of it all.

Initially I was against the razing of these statues , as even Condoleeza Rice said to do so would be erasing history .
Now I want them all to be razed .
If we have all read 1984 , then it is quite possible to erase history one page at a time .
I won't be around, but 50- 100 years from now , there will be supremacists who will proclaim Lee , Jackson never existed nor did the Civil War , the defense of Virginia , slavery . How can it have happened it if there is no history ?
It will all be erased .
University at California Berkley will write these new history books .
We will have statues of Rosie O' Donnell and Perez Hilton .
Let's start razing Pesidential Libraries named after those with whom we may have disagreed .
Let us begin the conflagration now to appease a bunch of trustfund entitled ones and thugs who have created this ruse because they lost an election .
Bring it .
The future will be bright , indeed . -

Ok, I found where Sandra Villines has a 3:29:41 result in a marathon. It was at the 2017 Vibha Dream Mile marathon in San Jose on June 4, 2017. However, it does *not* look like a legitimate time because everyone's chip time at that event is lower than their gun time by 30-50 minutes, even for the winner. So there is definitely something systematically wrong with the timing system.
A 3:29:41 would have been a huge PR of around half an hour over Sandra Villines' previous marathon PR and her more usual marathon times are in the 4:00-4:20 range. I don't think it is right for her to claim a 3:29:41 marathon PR on her website when it is clearly a timing error and also for her not to give which other races she is claiming her 50 km and 50 mile PR times from. Why hide this information?

To add more to my previous post, the Vibha Dream Mile marathon consisted of two loops of the course instead of their planned out and back course because of trail closures:
The Dream Mile course starts from the San Jose streets and then along the Coyote Creek Trail. The trail is alongside the Coyote Creek, and is generally fairly rural, though it occasionally skirts residential neighborhoods or business parks. The scenery along the trail is beautiful.

*Note- Due to trail closures this year, the proposed Full Marathon course needs to be changed from "Out and Back" format to a "Double Loop" format. We still can not gurantee that this format won't need to be revised again due to unforeseen circumstances, but the possibility of that happening is now less. We regret the inconvenience. Hopefully with the repairs work complete, next year, we will be able to revert back to the "Out and Back" format again.

Ahem, you first claimed a fake time of 03:57:31. Then found a fake time of 3:29:41. Then claimed that was more than a one hour improvement--because "you" refuse to believe those times ... LOL. PS. You bigly fail at maths.
-
BTW, you are free to join her for parts of the run. I recommend you run with her every day for at least one half the distance she covers. Best of luck. This is the only way someone like you can prove yourself right.
"Contact us if you are nearby and please come out to join Sandra for 3 or 30 miles. All are welcome!"

You read wrong:
A 3:29:41 would have been a huge PR of around half an hour over Sandra Villines' previous marathon PR -
30 minutes IS NOT a huge improvement for a 4 hour runner.

The advice that you join her on her GPS tracked run to keep an eye on her is pretty good. Make sure you GPS your proof so we can see for ourselves you were actually on course and matching her GPS data.

This Phan Sports Marketing were also involved in claiming this "record".
This needs investigating too. This is all over their facebook page

She has a Facebook page and it mentions she's on Strava, so no excuse not to show proper data, and not just the tracker

My comment was for people who want to prove she ran what she did. "Their" GPS data should be posted to confirm it matches hers--position and timing.

Assuming she will post GPS. The scammers never do. They tend to just have a tracker and claim that's enough.
As she uses Strava I'm expecting to see data on there from her running watch -
i think im suffering from cheater fatigue.
im finding it hard to care. -

You are assuming she is a scammer. Sorry, but you must prove that. Why don't you randomly show up and join her a few times during her run. Post your GPS stuff and it can be compared to her data. This is not difficult. She tells you where she is and you can contact her and run along. -

Wrong way round. As she is going for a world record then SHE must show US the evidence.
If she starts uploading to Strava each day and it all looks okay she will be encouraged.
Sadly many doing this journey HAVE been scammers.
I cannot run with her as I do not live in America -
I asked her if she would be showing her watch data and she totally evaded the question and began waffling about another runner .....
