Yeah, you don't want to mess with the fan boys of all these scammers.
It's always fun to see how aggressive they get when their running heroes get busted.
Sorta low hanging fruit mocking a guy who is literally an HIV+ bundle of sticks says more about you than it does him

so because he is unwell propagating lies becomes acceptable

Sorry, I didn't check his health status.
I thought, we are talking about a 161 mile claim on a non calibrated treadmill with 2 hours of break in a 24 hour period.
But it doesn't matter. Let's wait and see what Tara can run this year in a real race.
she's doing it again...for only $13 you can get "Name on website, social media recognition"

good luck to her. i hope the attempt is properly documented.
if she's successful i'll make a small donation directly to The Herren Project.
what i wont do is help her finance the attempt via gofundme.

"All proceeds from this event will be donated to The Herren Project following payment of event expenses."
"There are numerous expenses involved with setting up an event to break a world record. By far, the majority of these costs are due to the stringent documentation requirements of Guinness.

What are these costs? If it smells like dog crap it usually is
Seems like a bad time of year to do it. Who is at peak fitness in late June? Also would be nicer in a cooler gym during late fall instead of in a/c in early summer
This seems very questionable for many reasons:
1) The only way to donate is through her GoFundMe account.
2) There is the "There are numerous expenses involved with setting up an event to break a world record. By far, the majority of these costs are due to the stringent documentation requirements of Guinness. We are seeking your help to offset this and maximize the money raised for The Herren Project. " statement. Basically there is no commitment to donate a minimum percentage to charity.
3) There are lots of marketing items for donors, T-shirts, wristbands, photo with Tara etc. Is the purpose of these items to promote the charity or promote her?
4) There are requests for corporate sponsors. Again the same comment applies, promote the charity or promote her?
5) The link to the charity, The Herren Project, does not take you to The Herren Project home page, but rather a page within Tara's website. If you want to donate directly to The Herren Project you have to find the page yourself.
However, she is actively campaigning for witnesses so I suspect she is seriously attempting to achieve the record.
Can anyone be a witness? She's got a lot of cheerleaders that seem to think "pretty close" is all you need

I don't see much going to this charity after "event expenses."
does it really cost that much to run on a properly calibrated treadmill for 24 hours and have a couple of people watch and film it?
what exactly are these expenses? surely a few hundred bucks should cover it.

It does. Quite a lot. But it’s for the kids.
$134 of $5,000 goal
Raised by 3 people in 13 days
There seems to be not much interest.
I recommend a website with some hot underwear photos. That did the trick for me.
It's official, Tara Langdon is not that good.
At the Dusk2Dawn2Dusk 24 hour race she got a lame 72.8 miles in. Not exactly close to the supposedly 160+ miles on the treadmill.
What a joke.
Tara's Facebook Live stream is up and she is about 2 hours into her 24 hour treadmill attempt now:
https://www.facebook.com/Tara24GWR/videos/1605007882929980/
Anyone know what treadmill model she is using?
Looks like she split 50 miles in ~7 hours
84.22 at 12:30 - don't see her getting the record
Slowing down a lot.. crude math here:
She did 50 miles in first 7 hours ~8:25 ish pace
Then only 34 in the last 5.5 hours ~9.45 ish pace
Record is 153.6 miles in 24 hours (9:20 ish pace)
