Women runs 520 miles on treadmill in 7 days but doesn't get WR as Guinness says her witness doesn't count

Na. You don't have to be fast to run 520 miles in 7 days. It's 3mph. Walking pace.

Ultrarunning in a nutshell

I can't see her carrying all of her kit for her 2 week "Holiday" on her "40 mile" run today. She must have loads of stuff, not just running clothes.

She has a small bag, must pack light. But she's not retracing her routes so must be taking everything. Clothes must be sweaty.

I WANT that shirt!

Looks like she will collapse soon. If you are in the area please call an ambulance for Amy.

Em, she's been running all day and hasn't broken sweat? What an athlete!

10 hours 36 minutes elapsed for 36.4 miles.

Fair play to Amy for completing the miles. I would have respect for her determination if she dropped the world record claims.

Yes, good job Amy.

Happy for her. She's staying fit, running around lovely islands.

Even better, other idiots are paying for it.

Especially impressive when you look at the elevation profile. Really dropped the hammer pushing it uphill on miles 8 & 9. Was essentially falling off a cliff at mile 30 but didn't bother trying to impress anyone and instead ran her slowest mile of the entire run.

The splits on Strava are meaningless because they exclude stationary time. Elapsed time for those uphill miles would have been much longer because she showed no sign of having sweated in the photographs. This isn't a criticism, just an observation.

Okay, I'll bite: if they exclude stationary time how does that make them meaningless? So, she paused going uphill for stretches so she could sprint/run much faster than average? But on the downhills she didn't break, so ended up at a slower pace and thus the slower time?I'm not sure if she ran this or not. Maybe she did. But crikey that's a steep first ten miles! I would have thought the splits and the elevation profile would show some sort of synchronicity.I don't think she ran the 53 in 53 or all the miles on the treadmill. But presumably she can run SOME miles--people watched her on the treadmill for extended periods, certainly. So maybe she really did complete this run. If so, good on ya!

I've enjoyed this thread but I'm leaving now and won't be back. Amy Hughes is not a very good runner, which is fine, but she claims to be a world class runner and doesn't even train, which isn't fine.

I'm leaving because debate outside this thread is impossible. Dave Keighley is aggressively removing comments from her Facebook in order to conceal the fact that his vacuous girlfriend is full of shit. Anyone who still believes Amy's claims has got a serious problem and there's nothing left to say.

Have fun guys, see you around.

Even more reason to stay and keep posting on here, because the control freak scamming boyfriend can't stop you.

This thread needs keeping going.

She is still way way behind for covering 400 miles. It will not happen.

Yet again she is making false claims.

Wish I had Strava years ago, I could have put together my interval training, skipped the rest & scored a pb!

Not a bad hike today let's see what tomorrow brings.

Look like a shorter run today due to travelling to a different Island.

How far did she run around Palma? There is a cycle route circuit 70+ miles, her runs totalled much less than this.

Can't see 300 miles being covered at this rate never mind 400.

Fair play to Amy yesterday......looks like she actually completed a reasonable volume yesterday. Still way off her 400 miles in 14 days target however, at least she's managed to get one day of decent volume.

There are many miles of fantastic mountain trails in the north of Mallorca, it's a really beautiful place and a trail running paradise. Amy chose to run along the main road from one side of the island to other. 9 miles round Palma on Thursday, 37 miles across the island yesterday. I can't see her doing 200 miles for the 14 days.

Zero miles today
