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

Ha. I didn't think you actually would. I think a sample for each section after button presses is prudent enough. If she doesn't touch the treadmill you can presume the speed doesn't change.

BTW is it 520 or 521? Her website says 521 but various outlets say 520.

Why would you trust the hater media?

2*60 + 3 * Pi = 127 ?

FAIL.

The wheel diameter is actually 2.98in (Calibration, step 4). The manual actually doesn't say 60in either, that's in the specifications.

Thanks for checking my math, so the belt length would be about:

2*60 + 3 * Pi = 129.36 inches

Given that the other poster says the belt length new is 128 inches with up to 129 inches when stretched, I will use the greater 129.36 inches since that will give Amy Hughes a little bit more distance for the vendor of the doubt.

Using this revised number, Amy Hughes running speed in the video would be about 4.6 mph and a walking speed of about 2.94 mph.

Maybe I can find some software that would be able to count how many times it sees the white sole logo on the black treadmill belt. This should be doable by software since the camera position is fixed.

What does the section of time you have represent? Is it a full day of activity?

Doesn't seem worth the effort unless you can compare with her stated mileage.

Math is wrong. 128" belt length. Up to 129.5" with stretching.

How did you find those numbers for the belt length?

Anyone who is able to use the internet search function could do it.

What year is the TT8? At some point (2015?) it went from 2 ply to (double woven) 4 ply. This adds thickness.

Should be a 2016/2017 model year since Amy Hughes received it from the Sole Fitness sponsor in 2016.

2016 manual gives wheel size diameter at 2.36in.

I will use 129.5 inches going forward to be conservative.

Arsome! ;)

Hmmmm, interesting. Given the range of dimensions the belt can be, I will use the greatest length posted, 129.5 inches stretched, so that we err on the side of caution to give Amy Hughes the benefit of the doubt.

You guys put way to much effort in this.

Latest next year Amy Hughes will smash all records from 24 hours to 6 days. She will be the new ultrarunning superstar.

We have to believe her honest claims.

But if she doesn't smash any records or can't even produce a decent 6 day race we know she is a cheater like Robert Young. He promised us to run a 6 day race this Spring but it didn't happen.

It's that easy. Time will solve this for us.

Can you not use the fr'ckin' internet? You are overthinking this.

Given that she broke the record by less than < 1%, and you haven't measured the most basic unit (length) to that accuracy, how can you possibly be right?

Amy Hughes (GBR) 1-8 Sep 2016 521 miles

Sharon Gayter (GBR) 14-21 Dec 2011 517.63 miles -0.65% less

Watching the "Mud Run" video really made me laugh. Whilst viewing the video I started to think that she could have a great career doing parody running videos. It's the funniest thing I've watched on the internet in an age.

Every time I watch I expect her to hurdle that log... and then she stops and awkwardly clambers over.

The whole thing is hilarious in a way they clearly never intended.

RUNNING 250 MILES FROM OSWESTRY TO LONDON AND THE LONDON MARATHON WITH BLUE PETER.

In April 2015 Amy trained Blue Peter presenter Lindsey Russell to run the London Marathon, deciding to tie in her own challenge with this Amy ran from her home town of Oswestry to London covering 250 miles in 6 days, averaging 32 miles a day.

A bit of overclaiming on the distance (or a very scenic route)
