Sam, can you ask Mimi if you will consider releasing all the uncut video from the film crew on her run? She can mute all the audio if she wants. Mimi and her team keep ignoring all my messages. It would save us all a lot of time if we can just get the uncut video like we've asked for so many times.
Tim is the likely decision maker on what will be released. I do not see him ever allowing uncut video to be released to anyone.

Well there was a post started well before the attempt that certainly had an air of questioning her integrity (started by user "BootsReady"), as well as the Ben Rogers post which I believe was before the start?
Okay, so for instance....she DNF's a Spartathalon in what? 2013? Then in her 2015 attempt, she didn't make the cuttoff, right?
Her blog post says she wasn't feeling well prior to the race, yet this is the Spartathlon stunt in which she went on to double? Did you ever see her race report, is 'marvelous' not to be questioned?
Maybe you would like to try and fill in some blanks on that particular stunt run?

Ahem, nope. You are wrong. Subject line changes are an easy way to out a troll. Your response was so prompt it is obvious you are trolling the thread.
Actually I'm right. Notice it says "Subject Line," not "The do whatever So far today says even though it's stupid without thinking line." It's obvious that YOU are the troll, because you're the one who kept changing the subject and bringing this up.
Please STOP doing that now, and stop trolling this thread with your inane obsessions.
well, now that you mention it wrote:

Possibly due to her knee problem which she may have been unwilling to accept. She finally did have surgery in 2016.

You should be able to figure out when Mimi's injury started, more or less. and you should see deterioration after that. The injury date start appears to be October 3rd.
This might be of interest. Here is the movescount data from the afternoon of 10-4:
https://imgur.com/a/do9xhThat 15-20 minute jump in pace data in the middle of the run is uncharacteristic from the other data. On other days, we can discern long stretches of walking, but I found this jump in average pace over several minutes to be unusual.

Huh? With a knee problem, she completes the "DOUBLE SPARTATHLON 2015
Ran from Athens to Sparta 153 miles in under 36hrs,
slept for approx 6 hrs then ran back to Athens total 306 miles. FIRST FEMALE TO ACHIEVE THIS." And that is with feeling crappy before the race? And this guy is wondering why objective viewers, unfamiliar with her before this latest stunt, have honest questions about her past 'achievements'.

I can try and get a message to her.
Please also ask if she has any GPS evidence for her previous world records.
To clarify, I made a mistake in a previous post.

In 2013 she DNF'd; no results listed.
Then in her 2015 attempt, she didn't make the cuttoff, right?
Not true, my mistake. She is listed in the 2015 results.
This blog post says she wasn't feeling well prior to the race, ...
Her blog post (
http://www.marvellousmimi.com/2015/10/08/double-spartathlon-2015/) states:
My journey to the start line didn’t go too badly although the “over-extension” injury that happened during The Spine Race in 2014 STILL was causing issues but now with my left leg. Thankfully although painful never seemed to get any worse so I ignored it. (my Osteopath was happy for me to race)
Speed was my main concern but I had worked hard on this and felt a definite improvement so knew I could make the cut-offs if all went well.
With just over two weeks to go I picked up a chest infection that caused my peak-flow to be around 200 – not good. This meant that with my asthma I simply couldn’t run. The doctor put me on a course of steroids which still didn’t get ride of it and with under a week to go I was put on a course of Antibiotics – at this stage I was worried perhaps I wouldn’t even make the start line.
I'm not sure if the "over-extension" injury is related to her current knee injury.
This blog post (
http://www.marvellousmimi.com/2015/10/08/double-spartathlon-thank-you/) mentions an upcoming race report on the 'Double-Spartathlon': "I’m in the process of writing my race report which could take some time, please be patient. ", but I have not found it.

interesting part of mimis blog
After the saga with Robert Young I am need to ensure that we are able to provide evidence, tracking and record keeping thats beyond reproach – however slowly I do it. How I do this will be covered in a separate post.

Today's Strava upload title was: "Transcon Day 39: Day 39, we're still fine". Another 60.3 miles. Whatever she's doing, it seems to be working!
39 days completed + ( 867 miles to go / 56.4 mile per day average )
= 39 days completed + 15.37 days remaining = 54.37 days

Or, at her current (last few weeks) pace of 60 miles/day: 53 days total. And all of the UK ultra community weeps for their stolen number.

Yes, what a coincidence.
