Sandra Vi going for record across America

Miranda's morning run is up:

A few 12 minute miles sprinkled in

From the only video of any notable length of Mimi running on Oct 1 (at least I think it's Mimi), I counted the time it took for her to take 30 steps and got about 12.5-13 seconds, which means in this video she was doing about 138-144 spm, which is a slow but reasonable number. I have not seen any evidence from Mimi or her team indicating she is capable of regularly running at 180-220 spm as indicated in her unsmoothed cadence data.

Please don't do that during her runs, as talking during her runs would interfere with her breathing and take a toll on her effort and energy. Perhaps you don't think so, but I know from experience that it does. When she's done for the day should be fine.

Utter nonsense.

I think her name is Marina, not Miranda so sorry all for that.

Her numbers this morning really blow me away. There are about six miles where she ran between 12 and 13 minute miles. After all the problems yesterday and the video we've seen, I just find it highly unlikely. There seemed to be more problems with the Garmin showing faster speeds yesterday too (around the time of her visit to the hospital) which make me uneasy... I still believe she is legitimate but her team is doing NOTHING to squash the rumors. Again I have to ask why, since they're obviously aware of this thread. I suppose Tim and his band enjoy trolling us. So be it.

An 18 second clip. 7 seconds of another woman. 11 seconds of Mimi; 3 seconds of her running; 8 seconds of her walking. Mimi looks rather unhappy with the whole bit.

She doesn't look well, nor happy. Notice how she is tilted over when "running" and holding her side? I wonder what that is about.

It occurred to me that Mimi is favoring her left side. That makes sense since her right knee was operated on. But that means there is enough pain in the right leg to make running painful. Holding her left side might indicate her hips are in pain from putting her weight on the left side for far longer than she should.

Also, keep in mind for her pace to be 12:30 or so over a mile, she has to at some point be running quite a bit faster considering all the walking and stopping she does during that time. So her actual pace for those bursts could be closer to 10-11 minute miles.

Yes, from the brief clip it looked like hip / back pain to me.

Don't worry, Mr/Ms. "not a good idea" . . . I know Sandy pretty darn-well at this point . . . I'm going out to help her, not hinder her efforts in any way...

Every day I'm shufflin

Be prepared. Sandy's pace is very consistent. It is what you would expect from someone who isn't falling apart during the day. Copy whatever she is doing in terms of even pace, and water and calorie intake including the amount and frequency. Those seem to be some of the keys to making it through a 14 hour day and doing it again the next.

Meanwhile, the mileage differential is growing. And after seeing that video, which makes the viewer ache just looking at it, I can't imagine how Mimi will complete this thing.

Sandy's consistence is more obvious with all the 5 miles splits added. I will post all 5 miles splits for each day from now on.

The name Sandra Vi is for hobby joggers. HobsJog was informed that she almost broke 4 hours in a marathon one time.

What's your point? This ain't no marathon.

The non-sensical cadence data from Mimi just adds to a long list of suspicious behavior or evidence. If it was by itself I could dismiss it but this coupled with everything else makes her run very unconvincing.

Ugh. Yeah. I really want to believe Mimi's run is legitimate. I still think it probably *is* legitimate. And yet... weird stuff like this keeps coming up, and it's getting harder and harder to rationalize it all. If it were only some wacky cadence data, I could easily believe it's her unique arm swing or some Suunto data smoothing bug. But the cadence data is just one issue of many:

- multiple long drop-outs in her tracker data during the first few weeks

- very few photos of her out on the road each day

- few (almost none?) documented meet-ups with other runners

- only a few very short videos of her, most of which show her walking, and appearing to struggle, seemingly inconsistent with her performance

- a fast pace uphill through the Southwest's mountains, hard to reconcile with her later performance

- strange or bogus-looking cadence data

- sharply oscillating pace data, when the few videos we have all show steady pace walking

Maybe it all has an innocent explanation. Is it too much to expect her team to provide those explanations?

Very creepy that Miranda is only following 4 people on Strava. 2 of those are Sandra's profiles...

The name Sandra Vi is for hobby joggers. HobsJog's inner hobby jogger senses informs HobsJog that this event is only being done because they can't break 4 hours in a marathon. Regardless, HobsJog will cheer on the hobby jogger.
