(13,200 posts)Is Paul Ryan Lying About Being A Mountain Climber As Well As A Marathon Runner?

Last week, Paul Ryan made the claim that he ran a much, much faster marathon than actually happened, and Runner's World called him out on that fact. In light of that fib, journalists have been going over Ryan's old statements on his physical fitness, finding an old article in which Ryan claimed to be an avid Colorado mountain climber, though many think it's impossible for Ryan to have maintained the record he claimed.
The Atlantic's James Fallows investigated Ryan's athletic claims and found that in a 2009 interview with his hometown newspaper, Ryan said he climbed 40 out of Colorado's 54 famed "fourteeners," mountains with peaks over 14,000 feet. Fallows found that hard to believe, considering Ryan lives in Wisconsin, not Colorado.
