Are you sure that is possible? I am not a lawyer.

But I know that some people are looking into the charity "The 53 foundation" right now.

Hi Darren. We know you're not a lawyer, there was no need to mention that.

So, the 53 foundation charity's FB profile pic features Amy and Dave showing off a pair of running medals. They're not doing it for charity, they're doing it for narcicism.

No wonder you like them so much Darren.

The onus is on them to document the hell out of their activity to satisfy Guinness. They didn't. That's on them.

That video is hilarious. She's definitely an ultra runner because her training includes 'sprint stuff' three times a week.

For those attuned to these delicate British matters, is her accent and pronunciation considered to be lower class?

350 miles in a week. That's more than I ever cycled in a week.

They're not doing it for charity, they're doing it for narcicism.

Since when is narcissism (sp) a crime?

I prefer this video of Amy's previous challenge. Best bit is at the end where she and Dave have smeared mud on their faces to make it look authentic.

I wasn't making an accusation of a crime, merely reflecting in the real motives behind Amy's endeavours.

Then why bring the lawyers involved? I'm guessing no one ever sues Amy & Dave over this.

350 miles per week is 50 miles per day, roughly two marathons per day. Since her marathon best is around 4 hours, and obviously she is not running this at her marathon pace, I assume she must have been training at least 10 hours every day. Bullocks! I have no data but I don't think even guys like Scott Jurek and Anton Krupica could handle such a mileage.

Not really. She's not on the bottom rung of the class ladder like Dave and Terrie. Definitely as thick as pig shit though. Like Dave and Terrie.

Did I hear correctly in that video, "350 mpw a couple times in the last month" (at the time of the video), and alludes to consistently hitting 100mpw.

I have no ultra experience, but her BF% in the video is nowhere near where I would expect it to be if she had been putting in those kind of miles.

But she's wearing bright, sporty clothes. Doesn't this suggest that she is, in fact, a premiere athlete?

Don't bodyshame her!

Even if a 300Kg dude pops up and says he has broken the world record for 1500m on a treadmill at home, it is politically incorrect to say "you don't look like a 1500m runner, let alone a record braker". You have to say something like "I am sure you have done it, but next time, please record it so that haters don't doubt you"

She is full so full of crap she needs to open an organic farm in her butt.

CORRECTION, she said 350mpw a couple weeks ago, meaning only once. still...

In her defense, she only "thinks" she did just under 350 per week, in the last, sort of, month.

Her videos were not really designed for an audience that know anything about ultra-running.

Hmm, what sounds like a lot of miles... I know, 350. That sounds like precisely a lot.

I agree. What are the odds that LRC or FB ultra-running would have sent a indepenedent witness to the mall when Amy was setting the record, if it mattered that much? But now all they can do is complain about a lack of data that they deem necessary ex post facto?

Yes, they would have. Have you not heard that By showing up "boots to the ground" that community derailed a fraudulent attempt?
