Zero reason to not be publishing the runs to Strava or equivalent if you are going for a record. If nothing else it will help with publicising it for the charidees.
Zero reason for the van to be driving around at running pace, but with the runner nowhere in sight. He should be running infront of the van, especially at night. If they are bending the rules/ spirit of the task by letting him run behind getting a wind break or shelter from the sun then the other guy crewing the van but not driving should be sat hanging out of the back window watching the guy constantly incase he falls off the pace. For them to not notice that their sole reason for being there has dropped back 15 minutes behind the van means they haven't been doing their job for at least half an hour.
Having half marathon world records and multiple marathon PB's recorded as part of his 70mile plus days over mountains and through the desert need to be explained somehow which they currently haven't even attempted other than saying "but he's a nice guy" as their only defence.

Other questions over his historical PB's and the claims of him "winning" the Race Across America last year and running so fast that he outran the support vehicles also make him sound dodgy.

Ah come on its for Charity and he's a nice guy!

And also he is British, and the British are being taken over by the muslims, so they are weak, so it is no surprise that they have weak people like this guy. (this statement may not be my own views and may have been robbed from letsrun)
