He replied twice to posts under mine. JS knows he's lying about Emma, so he won't respond.

This Emma West is on Jan's Facebook page. He has actually confirmed this is "the" Emma West. It's no secret who she is but he won't respond because he has been caught lying so many times.

Well, you and some few other stalkers here use to call me a liar. If,I say if, hypothetically it would show that Emma just tricked me for now over a year since she contacted me at messenger to ask for coaching I don't think it's fair to call me a liar, would it be? I just sometimes have informed here the training results and race/ time trials she has told and confirmed to me to be true.

Well,soon we will see what's true or not. She will soon sign up for her first official indoor race , a 3000m or 5000m . After that she will test a 1500m .

I myself had a day off from training today. Got a slight fever yesterday evening but feel much better now.

Wish you and everyone else here at LRC a Happy New Year! 🥂🍾💥💥💥🖐🇸🇪🧙🏼‍♂️🇸🇪

If she runs the 5000m un under 17:00, my $300 offer still stands. But if she is fake, you need to become a little more self-aware and knowledgeable rather than jumping on a bandwagon. Surely you should know an unheard of running is not running those kind of times in workouts but does not run in any races. A non-runner may believe it, but no one with any running knowledge should be tricked this easily time and time again.

You may be doing it with Emma, and there was Rose, the Running Watchman that you spoke very highly of, the girl who supposedly ran 49s in the 400m, and then the ultra runner you claimed would break the National Record. That's five people who strung you along for a long time but you bought everything they sold you. Or maybe you were in on it too in hopes it got you more fame and attention.

As the saying goes, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me (but it's been at least five times now).

Sir, I just received a call via WhatsApp from The Wizard himself and he explained that he's not lying about Emma but that he's taking what Emma communicates to him about her training in good faith including time trials of 9:00 flat for 3000 meters and 16:07 for 5000m aided by track and cross-country runners from the University of South Dakota in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Emma West also recently won a five kilometer trail race in just over 16 minutes speeding a former division one cross country. At least, this is what Emma West communicated to the Wizard via the internet.

Emma West, ostensibly, is a former elite level swimmer at university but she's now 27 years old and has transitioned to running.

In our conversation the Wizard alluded to the fact that he's taking all this information from Emma West in good faith but that if it turns out to be untrue then he is not responsible for providing this information because, as said, he's doing it in good faith not for any malevolent reasons.

The plan, for Emma, now is to run a couple of indoor races in or near South Dakota in the coming months and that will give us the chance to see if this woman is genuine or if it is all fictitious, which hopefully it is not. The Wizard has great hopes that this woman will turn out to be a future top level runner in the United States and internationally possibly.

Once again, this all rests on the hope that the messages he receives are in fact genuine but not some kind of scam.

Of course, this is the disadvantage of the internet where true identities are often difficult or complex to verify.

Finally, the Wizard is just the messenger in this affair and if "Emma West" turns out to be fictitious it is all on the person creating this story, not the Wizard himself.

Correction: the University of South Dakota is located in Vermillion, South Dakota, and not in Sioux Falls, although they do have a satellite campus in Sioux Falls, where the true or false Emma West allegedly lives.

For those having the energy and motivation to pursue this case more deeply, they could contact the track and field and cross-country team (Department), at the University of South Dakota, Vermillion, to see if the story adds up. Those (male) athletes on the team who supposedly helped "Emma" in her pacing to run 9:00/3000 and 16:07/5000 could corroborate whether this is actually true or not.

To be frank, I'm sitting on the fence on this one because nine minutes flat and 16 minutes flat sound almost too good to be true for a neophyte runner coming from a swimming background even though elite swimmers have tremendous cardiovascular capacity. Unfortunately, a lot of swimmers do not transfer that cardiovascular ability to running because swimmers often have unorthodox biomechanics when they transition to land training and racing. Also, let's not confuse elite swimmers or pure swimmers with triathletes because the latter are hybrids who practice three sports and many elite triathletes come from a running background even though quite a few also came from a swimming background.

Jan may be a liar, but he's not stupid. He definitely knows these times are fake. So that makes him complicit in this latest lie. Jan lies about everything.

There are a handful of real athletes that he's actually coached, and have verifiable times. Phil tanked under Jan's poor coaching at CIM. Then Slava tanked under Jan's poor coaching. Of course Sammy Nyokaye (Jan's only elite runner) has seen his career in the toilet since meeting Jan.

Considering anyone can see the fat Swedes friends on Facebook, it takes about 2 mins to work out that Emma West on his friends list is a fake Facebook profile. Nothing he says adds up. He likely knows she's a fake profile, added her and has used her as simply a name to add to the list of make up stories. Jan is a very very dangerous psychopath, pathological liar and I genuinely worry about him and his influence over other human beings. If he was just a con artist, we could all move on from it. But his lies are so delusional and decieteful you wonder what else the man is capable of. The worrying thing is. He believes his own lies. That is truly terrifying.

It doesn't suprise me that ghost/Christopher defends him. Very, very strange man as well.

I checked the long conversation thread with Emma and I saw it was over a year ago she contacted me and asked for coaching. At that moment she told she some days before had run a 10 miler with a USA female elite runner and before thought it would be easy to keep up the pace. She followed easy the first miles but had to give in the last miles. This was before I told here to be more selective in future and check up runners before I start to coach them. Because she is a good swimmer, runner and even ride the bike good we talked about coaching her for the triathlon. But I told her it would take a lot of time to train for the triathlon and better to give running some years first to see how good she can be. She runs five sessions per week and use to swim just for fun sometimes on restdays.Also I saw, when she told she had run a 16 min 5000m time trial with college/ university male pacemakers, she asked me if I would like reference contact to confirm this time trial. I thought this was a kind of proof she really ran the time trial when she offered to give me references without I first asked for it.

Well, soon we will know for sure if she is the great talented runner or she has tricked me all the time.Would be very,very strange I think if this show up to be a "fake runner".

Time to sleep some in the new year.

Happy new year 🖐🍾

Wasn't the "recent" trail race in March? If I'm working with a girl that no one has heard of and she ran 15:58 in February in a solo time trial, I'm finding her races ASAP. Someone who has that much ability but no racing experience needs to learn how to race and that's done by actually getting out there and racing.

I also have found zero swimming results from the supposedly nationally competitive swimmer.

I thought Emma's profile looked fake as well but JS will fall for anything that can make him look good to other people.

JS is either a liar and/or a moron if this woman is fake since he's been strung along for almost a year. But we'll find out when Emma races in a few weeks. JS, how are you making sure Emma gets entered?

Hahahaha! You are really too much ))

Can you please tell us how you in 2 minutes are so sure it would be a fake profile?

The Eagles made the mistake of not bringing back linebacker TJ Edwards and should have retained Epps at safety. The defensive backfield is a shell of what it was 12 months ago.

I believe there is a good chance Siriani will be fired, barring a deep playoff run.

The NFC is a deeply flawed conference. Every team has flaws, including the 49ers and Cowboys. From where I'm sitting, Baltimore looks like the team that will win it all. They destroyed Miami today.

.

SFR, I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but for anyone else late to the party:

JS is a pathological liar. There is no "Emma", and there never has been. Certainly not one with these swimming and running accomplishments. More lies from Fat Jan. Just like the lie about paying Sammy's way to Europe.

Ghost can boot-lick all he wants, but this lie falls on Jan Stensson.

Prepare for many more lies about Fat Jan's training for this "easy" (for him) 17:30 5K.

Ok, I can't believe I have gotten involved in this, but this post got me interested. 100% she is a fake Facebook profile. It's likely a guy, pretending to a girl, if you look at the interactions (scammer). The person tuning Emma West has kept it pretty tight, but there are plenty of public posts to find if you know what you are doing (I'm sad to admit, as part of my job, I trawl people's Facebook history as per future job employment). Even on the public page, "she" has let the guard down as a guy accusing her of catfishing on another post, elsewhere on Facebook, has called her out on her another lie, about a school she's gone to.

I do this for a living. There is 0% chance Emma West exists. So we can just put that to bed now. The question is this: does Jan know?

There are only really the options of :

1. Yes he does know she's not real. There are no conversations with her ( if there are, maybe he could provide them?). He used her, as he knows she's a fake account and was just an easy name of use of his latest story from the reality of the dangerous sweedes mind.

Or

2. She did message him. Which would be weird . I don't really think that is likely. Although, she has been catfishing lots of men - so , maybe he sent her money+ then randomly got talking running and offered to coach her? She plays along, as he's a good mark for her to keep cashing in on.

Also, I've been on this forum for years. I was always curious who ghost was. After 30 seconds on Jan's profile and your post I know who ghost is now. Worryingly, he is a real person. Which actually surprises me. But that's now a can of worms I don't think we should open. But to say he's an interesting character as well and a questionable one, is an absolute understatement. I guess weirdos hang with weirdos. To Coach JS and Ghost1, may you weird relationship stand the test of time 🍺🍺🍺

Well,interesting comment from you. You may be right of course and then this story about "Emma" would be a really weird and sad one I think. None of your 2 options are fully correct. Nr 1 is out of question. I have all the time thought this coaching case was for real from start. Why? I checked the long chat thread I have with her and it started with she contacted me . I then asked what made her contact me . She told she was looking for coaching. From there it then went on and she told she had been a USA national elite swimmer and was talanted as a runner with very good sprint speed ( runners I like to develop when they have a greater basic chance to become top elite). So, all the time up to now I have thought this was a real coaching case. She has absolutely never asked me for money. And besides she of course know I would be very suspicious if she with a very well payed job would ask me for money 😉

So, if we try to sum this up it would be really,really weird if the person behind the Emma profile on Facebook shows up to be a scammer/ fake person. What goes on inside the brain in such a person? What has such a person to win on it when there absolutely never has been a guestion of asking for money ? Maybe the weird satisfaction of being able to succeed tricking me for a long time? If Emma has been tricking me for so long time I really don't have the answer of why?

Well, we will soon get the answer if she is for real when I will insist on to her to run an official indoor 3000/ 5000 race . If she in some way obviously try to not do the racing I of course sadly understand I've been tricked. I of course hope not.

I myself went out for 2 hours 10 min on my feet easy walking/ jogging with the beach and sea as a beautiful sunny panorama on the year's first day.Nice. 🌞

I did not realise it but Rod De Haven the former American World and Olympic Games representative in the marathon, (1:48.00, 3:42, 28:06, 2:11) around two decades ago has been the head coach at South Dakota State University for the past 17 years and it would be easy, in theory, to contact him to ascertain whether this story is true or not.

His email is in full view on the South Dakota state website under track and field and cross-country however I'm not so sure that he'd be happy to receive an email like that with regard to a person who potentially does not even exist.

I believe the Wizard truly believes in Emma West but that may not be the case. Running 9 flat and 16 flat for 3K and 5k is almost unprecedented for someone who has never competed in track and field before even though she allegedly was an elite swimmer.

The Wizard may go off on tangents at times but we believe he is fundamentally honest and above board even though his actions or words may be interpreted differently. He is a visionary in many ways and we cannot ignore him. The stunningly young looking sexagenarian, evergreen Swede, has never shied away from responding to challenges and that appears to be a quality that not everybody possesses.

I notice Jan and his weird counterpart, ghost, having chosen to ignore the facts of the poster above. When you search that Emma up in the general Facebook world, she is indeed only active as a conspiracy nut / a few people complaining about her being a Catfish. There's zero chance she is who she says she is. It's literally undeniable yet coach js still is living in a fantasy world lol personally I think he knows. He's a scammer himself , proven, so I don't think he's as stupid as sometimes he comes across.
