Harry Maguire Appears To Have Lied About Going For A Park Run

Harry Maguire looks to have been exposed over a 'run' he went for yesterday.

As loads of us having been doing in isolation, the England defender took to Twitter to post a screenshot of his 4.78m 'park run' route he had completed using the Strava app.

At first it seemed all was well and good, with Maguire doing the route in an impressive 17 minutes and 46 seconds.

However, someone on Twitter uncovered that the former Leicester City man had actually faked his run as it actually took place two weeks ago.

The tweet has quickly gone viral and left many wondering why on earth a professional athlete would lie about going for a run and what they would gain from it.

It's all very, very weird but there has been a worrying trend of people lying about the times of their runs.

Chelsea's Ross Barkley posted that he did the 5k challenge in 16 minutes, 11 seconds - a few minutes short of the world-record time of 12:37: 55 set by Kenenisa Bekele.

The former Everton man avearged three minutes per kilometre but his fellow Scouser Joey Barton, now manager of Fleetwood Town, was having none of it.

He also called out his former Manchester City teammate Trevor Sinclair for "faking" his 10k run.

A browse on Strava shows you that it appears Barkley actually achieved a time of 22 minutes and 31 seconds. It's still pretty good, but again there's literally no need to lie about it whatsoever.
