No, he meant 28/7 or 4 pounds per day. I can see why she couldn't eat this much per day.

Water would make up the largest part.

4 pounds is about 2 litres of water.

She obviously took in way more than 4 pounds of food and water.

Now that the original "she lost 28 stone" comment is realized to be such a bad lie the back peddling begins.

"What I meant was..."

Look. I'm sure Amy thinks she has the record based on being on a treadmill a long time. (She was).

And I'm sure Dave saw his darling falling short and fibbed on the addition and told her she made it. Most of us have let our girl win when the shouldn't have at some point.

But Dave got caught, and now is sticking to the lie. So we get this.

I could care less about holding on to the bars. That guy who went for the 24 hour record in time square a number of years ago did it.

These charity stunt running gimmicks is kind of like the traveling medicine man of the past. I'm more interested in why anyone would sponsor this kind of thing. I mean if anyone is reading this is interested in taking a dump later and looking for a sponsor.

Since when is narcissism (sp) a crime?

Narcissism is not a crime, it is a sickness. I have it. In fact, they admitted me into the hospital for narcissism, but, well, I kept checking myself out.

What a great quote. This describes it really well.

That's about it. I think Amy ran for a long time. Do I think she broke the record? Doubt it. Even if she did, they failed to abide by the rules set forth by Guinness. I hate to flog a lifeless equine, but that's 100% on them. No amount of people signing a petition will change this.

If Amy and her team are reading this:

1) Drop the loser boyfriend. He's bringing you down.

2) When, not if, you try this again, follow every single letter that Guinness puts forth.

Yes. Amy if you are reading this. Don't let these internet losers who probably have never run a step in their lives get you down. You are an inspiration to so many. Ignore the hate. There will always be people jealous of succesful people.

Ask yourself what non-runners would be doing on a very obscure running forum, people who also happen to know an awful lot about running.

Most lets run people only run 100 MPW which does make them non-runners in the eyes of those that do 350 a week.

Apologist....

Derek has his article up on Amy Hughes:

This ^

The record keeping / recording of data was insufficient to corroborate her WR attempt. GWR states clearly in their documentation that there must be a minimum of 2 independent witnesses present at all times, and for events that are longer than 4 hours in duration, these witnesses must be replaced with 2 other independent witnesses every 4 hours. This means you would need a minimum of 4 independent witnesses (likely more for a 7 day event) for Amy's run, not 2.

Wonder what the definition of independent is in this case. To get anyone to voluntarily show up to do this would either have to be friends or someone getting a bit of pay. Either way that doesn't seem too independent.

Good. Thread over, she won't dare challenge a respected source like Derek Murphy.

Kudos to scam watcheroo, another outstanding piece of work.

Courtney, I think you are seriously misguided if you are looking to Amy Hughes for inspiration. There are many, far more accomplished athletes out there who just go about their life walking the walk, day-after-day. Amy seems to want constant validation for her achievements. You can see this in her numerous social media posts, internet campaign and media interviews.

If you're looking for true inspiration then go to your local parkrun event and talk with those who are battling with obesity, illness or a life of inactivity and still getting out there and running. Search out an England Athletics Mental Health Ambassador (http://www.englandathletics.org/shared/get-file.ashx?itemtype=document&id=18127) he / she will can put you in touch with numerous runners who will be able to share their inspirational stories of overcoming mental health issues. Look for the disabled athletes who, despite numerous life challenges are able to compete in athletic events, and some at a very good standard. Look for the 86 year old triathlete (http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/iron-nun-fitness-goals-86_uk_57b321e0e4b0730aab649c9b). Look for Kayla Montgomery (Kayla Montgomery) who runs races despite having Multiple Sclerosis.

There are numerous athletes and people out there who are true inspirations and are not in this to get raise their social media profile or promote their own charity.

I think I'll be okay. Just leave Amy alone. She's done nothing wrong.

~Court

She can't ask the public to judge GWR as behaving unreasonably and then whine like a baby when some of the public point out that she has presented precisely zero evidence to support her case.

I assume you signed the petition, can I ask why? What possible evidence of the distance have you seen.

Let's be clear getting a load of people to express their belief that you did something without a single piece of evidence to prove it is completely worthless. Records are granted based on proof not on how gullible people are or how big your social media following is.

Amy has done something wrong. She's repeated over and over that she has more than met the Guinness criteria when it's perfectly clear she has not.

She has also lied repeatedly in claiming that people have said she doesn't have the physical shape to be a runner, that's bullshit. Some have questioned whether her physique is what you would expect for an elite multiday athlete but that is not the same thing as she then bitched about.

When somebody asks the world to support her claim and lies about those who ask for evidence there is usually a reason for it.

If you take a look at page 7 of the GWR document you'll find their definition of "independent".

There's no reason you couldn't pay someone to do it, as long as they meet all the conditions.

What is it that you think is being done to Amy?

I'll leave Amy alone if she withdraws her treadmill world record claim and stops claiming to have run 53 marathons in 53 days, or provides evidence of both. Her and her boyfriend claim to have the evidence so making it public should not be a problem.

Until then I will continue to raise suspicions about what she claims to have done.
