He has uploaded this activity MANUALLY to strava so it could be COMPLETE LIES! He could’ve at least used the inaccurate watch sensor data just to prove he was actually doing SOMETHING.
Also NO MENTION if he put the treadmill on a 1% incline.
Thoughts?
Done at the dome in Flagstaff

I always use the 0% incline. 1% is absolutely bogus. In faster paces it should be something like 1.5 or even 2% to equal running outdoors but who cares, an incline just irritates achilles.
There are reasons why there is that manual entry possibility and one of them is that treadmill manufacturers produce equipments that don't communicate with Strava. So you have to enter workouts manually. It's not so difficult. I always take a photo of the screen after the workout and fill the same information in Strava when I enter it manually. I run 5-10 times a week on treadmills and never had a problem with entering anything manually. It works perfectly every single time.

Don’t any of your Strava followers question the integrity of the workouts as it would be VERY simple to fake them?

Posting manual uploads 10 times a week surely raises some eyebrows amongst your followers and friends?

If you post fake workouts on Strava, you're a loser. If you care about other people posting fake workouts, you're an even bigger loser.
GPS watches don't work well for track workouts.

Funny. I have the opposite problem. I run trails except on workout days, and GPS says I'm running 9-11 min miles, missing roughly 1mi every 5mi +/- depending on the switchbacks and tree cover. A long time ago I set up my Garmin to autofeed to Strava. I rarely pull up Strava, but when I do it's hilariously inaccurate. So, if I wanted it to be accurate, I would have to post manual uploads regularly to correct it.
Why do you doubt this was a real workout? It’s only 3x1 mile between his half and 10k pace. Even at altitude that’s a pretty easy workout.

At one point in time yesterday there were 2 GPS'd workouts up on his feed. 1 each to and from what I assume is his house and another location (about 3 miles each way). The time spacing between these runs was consistent with a workout of that duration being done in between them. I am guessing he ran indoors (as his activity says) and decided to delete those 2 activities and just put the manual up that encompassed the whole thing since he was unable to capture the indoor portion. This does not indicate at all whether those splits are valid or not.

Moranic thread. Who cares what anyone is doing in their taper anyway? If he wanted to troll, he could say he did 3x1 mile in 4:15, 4:10, 4:05.
I have it on good authority that it is in fact a fake workout. Jim didn't want to spook his rivals with the true numbers. It was actually 3xmile 4:20, 4:15, 4:10, 400m float recovery @5:30
but shhhhh don''t tell anyone.
predicting he will be beat Lagat and a drop out at 16 miles with a cramp, Ritz.

Treadmill on 10% decline confirmed.
Downhill treadmill + Vaporfly = ??
Omidogz and it says 'windy as hell' as an excuse for being indoors. Its not windy at all!!!!
Liarzzzzz

I set my activities to private months ago. Strava is just a way to log workouts for me, the rest is just noise. Also people who like your race performance in the hope that you'll follow them back, like that's gonna happen.

You must lead a very boring and skepticism filled life to worry about śhit like this.

I didn't set it to private but I purged my following list. Realized half the activities on my feed were from people I had never even talked to irl and didn't care what they were uploading. Unfollowed half my list down to about 40 people that I actually know and care about.
