Benjamin Ryan(@benryanwriter):Because a news outlet I’ve never heard of found that a couple news outlets I’ve never heard of reported in 2010 that Jason Arday ran 30 marathons in 35 days, now all of Bluesky believes he really did. None of them have realized that he could have just told those outlets he did at the time. All of this is based on his word. It is this very sort of credulity that allowed him to keep telling such stories for 16 years totally unchecked. I already reported on those local news stories weeks ago anyway. They never proved anything, because Arday would’ve run all those marathons almost entirely solo. He had no tracking device and wasn’t running as a part of any official race.
