If Asher Delmott and Fake Laz return, it will be worth it.

You are exactly right, it should have been 521 kilometers but Amy's smart boyfriend got it all wrong.
So now this whole thread is going to DQ her 521 mile treadmill record because some no-name local newspaper can't get the units right? Fortunately Amy's charity partners are not vulnerable to such dissension.
OK, say it's 520 miles (like LRC headline says) instead of 521. That's still enough for the record. If Guinness wanted Strava data on Power of 10, then they should have named the record "Most Treadmill Distance in a Week while livestreaming Strava to Power of 10".

In all seriousness, an independent observer setting up and calibrating the treadmill and certifying the units used would be a minimum requirement - although treadmills can be set to use miles, every one I have ever used in the UK has been set up to display KM.

No the proof Guiness required was fairly minimal. She still didn't meet that

Your lack of understanding of the issues here is quite amusing, Strava is nothing to with Power Of 10. Power of 10 is a database of performances in races, it does not hold anything like Strava does. With a footpod you could actually use a Garmin on the treadmill, this would have allowed a Strava upload that would actually mean something for the treadmill part.

We need full transparency.
Amy needs to post the data relating to the 53 marathons in 53 days. Was it recorded on a GPS sports watch?
Amy needs to show evidence that the treadmills used in the 7 day event were calibrated, that the distance covered was as stated (521 miles) and that she ran the whole distance. I haven't seen that posted any where yet. Witness statements from people with a known relationship to her do not count.
Further to this I would like to see Amy publish the breakdown on how much of the donations from the 53 marathon and 7 day treadmill event went on 'expenses' and how much was actually donated to good causes.
Without doing the above I'm afraid doubts will always follow Amy.
With Life Fitness Treadmills (the ones I have had most experience with), to change from KM to miles you need to know how to access the service menu which is a specific key combination you would not guess.

In my experience, most treadmills in the UK default to displaying information in KM however there is usually an option on the screen to change the display to Miles (or at least there is one the ones at the two gyms I frequent).

Which part of "a specific key combination you would not guess" was confusing ?

Nope. It's all top secret.

Are there any logs, blogs, reports, etc. I can read about the 53 in 53? I would like to know how each day went. How long did each "marathon" take? Were they run in one shot or were lengthy two to 4 hour breaks taken between sets 9 mile runs. Was it 26.2 miles on a day vs. 26.2 miles within 5 hours? How were the routes chosen? Given that each one was in a different city, how does one determine a 26 mile route?

I note on her numerous social media accounts that she is just deflecting and focusing on haters saying bad things about body image and / or running pace.
She's yet to address on of the concerns relating the recording of the data in both the 7 day treadmill run and the 53 marathons, and the #JusticeforAmy hashtag is truly cringeworthy. There are no injustices here from GWR...the only injustice would be granting a WR to a runner without the required proof.!
