This might sound harsh, and it is, but it is true.
Amy Hughes is a cry baby who has publicly lied in order to try and be recognised for something that she did not acheive. She is also a human being.
She claims that there is 24x7 footage of her challenge on YouTube. There isn't.
She claims that there were other witnesses to the challenge. There were not (passers by don't count as they only witnessed short sections).
She does not (and did not after the challenge) have the physique of a person who has run 521 miles in one week. This is not an insult, it's a compliment - she has a wonderful physique.
She clearly has a need for validation which may or may not be unhealthy but appears to be a potential reason behind her desire to be an official world record holder.
Amy is a human being and we can only speculate as to why she has told lies and lashed out against those who have sought to validate her claims. This episode has not yet reached its climax but is going to end very badly for Amy and she will need the love, support and understanding of those around her to get through it.
Don't let reality get in the way of your ambitions.
Robert Young, Dave Reading and Amy Hughes will be remembered as the most ambitious athletes Great Britain has ever produced.
Something to be proud of.
There's still no proof that Dave didn't subtract off the so-called "time" that Amy spent touching the treadmill bars. The previous record was given rigorously to two decimal places as 517.63, but Amy's new record has just been rounded off to 521 miles, just to make sure that noone can quibble over infinitesimal infractions.
There is no new record the old one still stands.

Fair enough, she's an attention seeker and loves it, welcome to the age of social media, but you've left out the main part of the equation - MONEY.
Amy and Dave rely on the stunt running as it's their main source of income.
No stunt running means no way to gain attention for their charity.
No way to gain attention means no charity donations or sponsors.
No donations means no hefty "administrative costs" to be taken out.
Perhaps Amy and Dave will open the books for scrutiny.

I particularly like this part of Dave's hissy fit:
"I could belittle you by saying 6 days is nothing! Try 26 days doing 30 miles a day with 120lbs on your back in the Pakistan mountains, which insistently are fvcking steep!! whilst also being shot at... there we go my d1ck is bigger than yours!"
Anyone else smell some more BS? I guess if an average guy like Dave imagines he can do 210 miles a week for four weeks, then imagining Amy can do 350 miles a week isn't such a stretch.
is that real? did he actually say that?
the mans bullshit knows no bounds. every time Dave opens his mouth the statements get more and more ridiculous.

Dave posted a fairly long drivel-rant on facebook, from which the quote was taken. No-one has yet read it to the end - could you let us know how it ends if you get that far?

You have no proof whether or not it is Dave, or someone pretending to be Dave.

@meghgrace's story in Runner's World has the headline:
"Runner Logs More Than 500 Miles on Treadmill to Attempt World Record, but Guinness Says No"
https://www.runnersworld.com/unconventional-world-records/treadmill-world-record-attemptVery similar to the title of this thread:
"Women runs 520 miles on treadmill in 7 days but doesn't get WR as Guinness says her witness doesn't count"
As noted by someone earlier in this thread, makes it sound like Amy actually broke the record or ran at least 500 miles but was hard done by due to a technicality.
How about this one to more accurately reflect what happened RW?
"Woman Attempts to break 7-Day Treadmill World Record, but Guinness Says No"
Did you miss the previous title of the Runners World article? It was changed later to the title above. Look at the bottom of the article:
Editor’s note: The original headline, “Runner Logs 520 Miles on Treadmill to Attempt World Record, Fails Miserably,†has been changed because it didn’t accurately represent the content of the story.
(The original headline was actually a more accurate representation of Amy's story.)
The original headline was funny but it still infers that Amy actually ran 520 miles.

No.
We do have video proof that it is Dave.
Unfortunately, Dave's videos are really boring...including all of the videos that Terrie Reading deleted.
http://davereading.co.uk/videoshttp://davereading.co.uk/trollshaters...So we shall go again in April 2018 to raise awareness for on line bullying/trolling it will be a run and ride. to campaign against a problem that can effect so many peoples life's .
(It looks like this was done by Terrie.)
The total number of internet trolls at the LetsRun.com forum for Pete Kostelnick:
ZERO
Why didn't Pete Kostelnick have any LetsRun.com internet trolls causing problems?
http://davereading.co.uk/victim-support-helplinesTerrie going on the offensive, taking it to the LRC trolls!
Serves you meanies right for derailing Dave's record attempt, which he was obviously prepared to break.
I mean, the man was prepared for exhaustion and pain and heat and cold ... but mean comments on an obscure website's message board was more than any man could take.

It looks like Terrie Reading/Shingler has put a few posts up on their website from some trolls... that might also be on this thread at LetsRun.com.
Terrie is also displaying the names of the LRC trolls for the entire world to see.
Some of the posts are potentially embarrassing for the trolls, and could cause a scandal for the trolls. I am sorry about that, but the trolls made the posts. It is their problem now.
I was happy to see that I had ZERO posts that were displayed at their website for the entire world to see!
My name is not on the Terrie Reading troll list.
However, it turns out that I had some other problems on the Dave Reading thread.

Words on an internet message board are way more destructive than any run or terrain.

Dave is nowhere to be seen while Amy hangs on the treadmill bars and therefore he cannot know how far she ran during those moments. It's therefore impossible to subtract the distance.
You really should engage your brain and think your ideas/criticisms though. It only takes about 5 seconds to realise why there IS proof that Dave didn't do as you suggest..
All you do is make yourself look by a 5-year-old constantly questioning adults with this sort of stuff.

All Dave had to do was watch the video tapes to find out how long to subtract off the time for. It's easier than getting an "official" break for Amy to rest for a few seconds, just subtract it off from the total.

Do you realise how ridiculous you sound? Through large stretches they have NO witnesses, yet you think they are reviewing video to subtract distance that would be very difficult to calculate.

Maybe if you had seen Dave's logbooks you'd have a different opinion.

Yeah, he has meticulous logbooks and wants public support but refuses to publish anything other than rants about haters.
