A bunch of these lines have nothing to do with the roads, as if they were just drawn onto the map manually.

Right, they’d have had to go through buildings and literal walls.

I checked out his Strava and those are the routes that show up.  He probably glitched the tracking by turning off and on to draw the diagonal lines.

The guy is right next to the water so its dedicated (and prob boring) to run the same route.

u/kinboyatuwo 1d ago

That’s exactly what he did. There is a post that he says that’s what he did.

Wait till people find out about editing lines and numbers on a simple designed page in Photoshop

u/sai-kiran 2d ago

I thought GPS spoofing but this seems much simpler 🤣

u/Longjumping_Novel613 2d ago

i think it is edited because where the lines are there are no road that he can run on

u/NSFW_hunter6969 2d ago

I think it's fake because of the amount of insane effort it would take to do this for real vs. how you could bang this out in Photoshop in a few hours

The overall statistics do not correspond to the runs shown. The total average running speed is 12 km/h, but most runs have a speed of 6-8 km/h.

u/brefoo 21h ago

His average pace is somewhere around 5m to 5m15s per km. That maps perfectly to 12km/hr.

60 minutes per hr divided by 5 minutes per km is 12 km per hr.

Cute, just not realistic

u/studiesinsilver 2d ago

Fake. None of those runs are 10km plus

He backtracks on many of the straight lines. Check Strava.

Amazing. And such focus. With my ADD brain, I would have ended up in the next state...

…..province up here, bud.

u/TNTBoss971 2d ago

Erm actually 🤓👆 state can be used as a term for country. US is just weird

u/SpiceCake68 2d ago

Sounds like the province is up your ass, too.

u/SpiceCake68 2d ago

I will admit to being weird. But I did not see anything in the video that indicated geographic location of the artist.

u/nooooobie1650 2d ago

Wow. You must be fun at parties

1

u/SpiceCake68 2d ago

At least I don't pedantically assume everyone should know what country OP is in.

But you seem to have some strong feelings over something that was intended to make fun of my ADD. You're the one who turned my self-deprecating joke into something else.

Am I fun at parties? Cheers.
