On the positive side at least the aborted lejog should enable him to run a fast time in London. With all that extra mileage he's run, he must be in his fittest shape ever, so we should expect him to be challenging his 3:12 PR
not with those "shredded feet" of his

Not to add fuel to the fire or anything but I just found one of Terrie Reading's old "charity" fundraising pages for Walking for the Wounded from 2013 that doesn't look kosher and may indicate missing funds:
She has all the entertainment, prizes for raffles, and food provided by sponsors for a big shin dig but yet she only reported a total of £50.00 collected for donations. Something about this stinks and doesn't add up at all. Where is all the missing money?
https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Terrie-Reading-hockering-playareaDonation summary
Total raised
£50.00
Online donations £0.00

Wow he really did shred his foot.
The latest word is those shredded feet are all down to his non-coach and running gear sponsor Neil Featherby.
Neil had a few pairs of crap shoes in his sports shop he couldn't move so gave them to Dave. Bad move Neil.
But never mind, Dave will be back, as he says if at first you don't succeed blah, blah, blah.
From now on Dave's going to stick to hiking training for the next LEJOG attempt. You know, those 30 mile hikes in full combat gear the Royal Air Force Reserve make their 49 year old mechanics do as military training.

err that extra mileage was walking, barely jogging, detour in the back of the van, briefly riding the bike (after all the bikes had been donated by a sponsor so he had to get them in there somewhere for the professional photographer he took along to get some snaps before quitting).
Try not to cringe. I challenge you to watch all 9.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TbJSWm18wPc
My favourite is #2, on which there are 5 views and I have seen it twice.
He looks as fresh as a daisy in all 9, despite a 148 mile effort. This thread will take some beating and will surely make the all time most entertaining LR threads.
I recommend you download those YouTube videos of Dave before Terrie deletes them all. They are priceless.

I failed.
He's not smart enough to have organized this whole thing, so who's the puppet master/mistress.
Terrie is obviously the mastermind.
Well that was about 10 to 12 minutes that I will never get back. I was in constant cringe mode. That run was so fake and it is obvious that he didn't do 150 miles.

Dave said in his video interview on YOU TUBE that he had some " black toenails on feet" issues at the beginning of his ultra-training…but that he had solved that issue and it was not a problem.
Dave also said that he did up to 280 miles per week in training. Dave said that he ran 40 Miles per day for 10 DAYS IN A ROW…and his longest run in training was 150 MILES IN 30 HOURS ( = 12:00 min per mile for 150 miles and 30 hours IN A ROW WITH NO BREAKS…even though Dave has an actual marathon PR of 5:04 ( = 11:36 per mile for only 26 miles 385 yards)
Dave did a Tactical Advance into Battle (TAB) …and was obliterated by a bunch of REAL UltraRUNNNING missiles.
1) On Day 1: Dave walked 49 miles at about 17:30 per mile.
2) On Day 2: Dave got in a van and drove 11 miles with his Ultra GPS Tracker going at speeds between 32 and 64 Miles Per Hour…because of a traffic diversion. Dave then stopped walking and started RIDING A BIKE DURING HIS ULTRA RUN…because his feet hurt…and Terrie said that is OK because Dave can do whatever he wants during this UltraRun because...it is for charity.
3) On Day 3: Dave quit the UltraRun at about 10:30 am with ZERO mileage on Day 3 because of a sudden family emergency of their driver. We are sorry about that... because these things can happen.
4) I can't think of any other UltraRun in all of recorded human history on this planet when anyone started USING A BIKE ON DAY 2.
5) …and then Terrie says that is OK…because anything is OK...if the UltraRun is for charity.
6) For example: Brit Robert Young (MarathonManUKâ„¢)
Terrie won't delete those videos. Hardly any views and no comments. If there were comments bashing Dave, then those videos will disappear in minutes.
Videos will stay up wrote:

I doubt anyone outside his clan and letsrun that no one else ever saw any if these. The view counts are extremely low. This whole thing is weird. Videos done, has sponsors, charity with very little donations, yet almost no following. I mean almost no following.

Most people appear to have one, i dont.
I have sent plenty of facebook messages to his sponsors etc as i have facebook, but i wouldnt expect people with no facebook to join and learn how it works just to send messages to sponsors.

If you can't figure Twitter out then I can't help you. Hopefully you don't walk and chew gum at the same time.
that struck me as odd through the whole ordeal. virtually no follows on fb, instagram or twitter. so i would assume donations were nonexistent since nobody even knew this was going on. this one is truly odd. if they weren't bringing in money, what was the point. and how did they possibly think they could get away with claiming 100 mile days over such a short, easily monitored course? i don't get it.

Its far easier for someone who already has an account to spend five seconds dropping her a message.
Looks better from an established account.
Messages from brand new facebook accounts arent necessarily taken seriously as look fake, so i assume the same for Twitter

Obviously they thought they could put the donated tracker on the van and scam it. Then claim a world record just before London marathon and become famous because of all the publicity surrounding that

Or just use the e-mail address you quoted as being on her bio, you do have e-mail, right.
