Sub 62 min half after runnig a half! Please. At his pace he cut miles off. What the point of doing the London Snickers and then cheating?

"TTT, are you saying it's humanly impossible?"

I certainly am. Impossible for this chap, anyway.

[ichkeria]

"The Express offers no evidence for this either. "

A first half run in 2 hours 7 mins is a bit of a clue :-)

[ToraToraTora]

Yes pixie it is impossible even the winner ran the second half slower. Taking into account his pace in the first half and other absent readings he managed to cut at least 6 miles off.

[emmie]

perhaps he caught the bus.

here are his race stats for this year, and those for 2013:-

That's been done emmie, and the tube!

[pixie373]

There isn't any question then. He should have stayed in the pub a bit longer.

[ToraToraTora]

There was also some twins where one started and the other one finished!

[emmie]

i confess i can't understand those stats

[emmie]

i remember that, one runner who caught a bus, what a swizz

[pixie373]

He was going at -7.31km/hr? How does that even register?

[emmie]

like most of these runners, he looks like a puff of wind would blow him over, so doubt he'd be in the pub, or perhaps he had a soft drink...

[pixie373]

Possibly not, emmie. I just meant it would have looked a little more convincing if he'd delayed slightly in the second half.

[emmie]

i guess, so a cheat, well well

[ToraToraTora]

well among other things it shows he missed 3 intermediate time points and also last year his time was 7:24, 5 hours to do the second half 2:24 fo he first half, sounds like last year he stopped for lunch at some point! Have another look emmie they are easy to read.

What's a bit shocking about this for me is that this guy is, apparently, a personal trainer. What an example to set.

[mushroom25]

he may now be calling himself a "personal trainer".

but.

every newspaper report I've read, plus his facebook page (before it was deleted over the weekend) says he's actually a male model.

[ichkeria]

Ah. I hope I offend no one by saying that that is more understandable :-)
