365 marathons in a year

You are wasting your time, Ben. We already found your multi-million pound financial fraud activity.

I get that his business dealings look dodgy, but his running looks pretty convincing; he is clearly doing a lot of miles. He does a lot of organised races and runs with a lot of different people (too many for everyone to be in on it).

So aside from him looking heavy, what is there? He even looks to have dropped weight...Am i just massively underestimating how hard 26 miles/day is? Or is it the strangeness of not using a GPS?

and looking through his posts he often runs multiple times per day (up to five) and has completed plenty of ultras up to 100km.

...and he doesn't do a marathon a day, he AVERAGES a marathon a day. He has had injuries and logged as little as 18km, if my quick skim read is right.

Sorry for multiple posts.

No it doesn't. His running only looks convincing if you have a head injury or are willing to believe anything anyone ever tells you.

A marathon a day is over 182 miles a week; that's a massive amount of miles that very few runners, including elite athletes, have ever tried to run, let alone some overweight guy. It takes years for runners to build up to even 80 miles a week, forget 182, and the injury rate from high mileage is huge. To just suddenly start running 182 miles a week and to do so injury free, and to do this for an entire year? And do it while being overweight, which only makes injury more likely - it's 100% bull shLt. No question.

Asking anyone to believe such an outrageous lie is just insulting. Its about as believable as if he claimed he swam from California to Hawaii, on his own without support.

That's enough Ben, go and read this thread from the start if you want to be reminded how we know that most of your mileage is fraudulent.

When you've done that go and look up Gary Mckee on Strava. That's what a marathon a day looks like.

The sum total of your fake and real miles don't even equal an average of 26.2 mpd. You can't even cheat properly, you loser.

1) He is not doing hard miles so comparing it to an athlete in training is nonsensical.

2) The bulk if his miles are multiples, not 26 continuous miles. The exceptions are organised races and ultras.

3) Plenty of people have done marathons back to back over many days who aren't gifted athletes. If you can do it for 30 days you could probably do it for 300.

4) He has had injuries and done lower mileage days.

And that includes looking after a family and the things that come with it, supposedly heading off to work each day, lack of sleep, etc, etc, etc.

If he was a single bloke who didn't work, maybe he could do 182 miles a week by walking/jogging, but for this scammer it's bullshit.

Bullshit is his stock-in-trade, he's shown that before.

Let me deduce, Ben. You want to convince us you actually did all that "charity" running so you can write a book about it to get rich and try to make people forget your massive fraud background. And you also want to use all this "charity" work to show the judge that will sentence you that you are a "good" man. Where did all the offline donations go, Ben?

It is incredibly simple, given how cheap and available GPS watches are, anyone claiming any feat of running who doesn't back this up with GPS cannot be taken seriously. This was before everything else was uncovered. Choose to dismiss this if you like but if you do then you are basically admitting to being a fanboy in disguise or a troll.

Just stop. You are full of shLt. I've done 100 mile weeks and the bulk of those miles are easy. Even elite athletes run the bulk of their miles as easy miles. The more you say the more obvious it is he is a fraud with no appreciation for what he is claiming to do. You are likely the cheater himself and you are just digging yourself a deeper hole with everything you write.

He's a proven con man. wrote:

Does he work full-time? I hadn't seen that anywhere.

Those are quite some leaps. Let's stick to the facts shall we?

I get all that and it seems odd. However this is not evidence of cheating. From a quick skim if his posts it is clear he has done a tonne of legitimate miles.What % do you think are faked?

Well he reckons he works (and on those timings he would have been running around a 4hr30min marathon beforehand):

"The dad-of-two, of Whiffen Walk in East Malling, wakes up at 3am after just three and a half hours sleep and completes the 26.2 miles before most people have had their morning coffee.

Mr Rogers, who works in property, said: “It’s a bit novel but it’s the only way I could fit a marathon into a normal day. It means I am finished by 8am for work or the school run."

The formula to work this out is quite simple, you divide the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin by the number of clouds you can see multiplied by pi.

You don't quite grasp the concept of evidence do you?

Obviously i do, the lack of GPS evidence is a big problem.

Well that is progress, but you don't seem to grasp why I couldn't give any estimates of how much is real.

A random sample has shown more than 50% of his miles don't have gps data. Go on Strava and add it up for yourself if you really care. I don't care about the exact detail, I know that his mileage claims are untrue.
