Potentially Suspicious Runner To Run 836 Miles in 9 Days for "Charity"

It would be nice to hear the true story on this whole debacle. I highly doubt that we ever will. They just vanished and this will be the last we ever hear from Dave Reading is my take.

They're employing the head in the sand MO and hoping it all goes away. It hasn't gone viral or on to main stream media so probably it will. It's just here amongst us sad LR hater basement trolls and super sleuths, or to quote Terrie "loser wankers" on the "funniest forum ever", that'll keep it bubbling along.

We are the seekers of truth and all things that are good in this world.

Amen and Awomen.

I would be happy to close this thread if we get an interview from Duncan Slater from Walking With the Wounded.

I could kinda understand sponsors like Mattressman being dumb enough not to check he was a good runner. That Nicky clearly knows nothing about running.

But a sponsor like Hokas and Follow My Challenge/Lee Fancourt should know what a runner looks like.

Duncan Slater has nothing to do with this. He's just another runner running for the same charity, doing a legit run as an amputee.

Oh yeah, "he's" Essex gal Terrie innit.

Agree, and apart from the odd idiot, so would every one else on here.

I know he doesn't have anything to do with the scam but I just want to hear his observations and views on this matter since he was at the Reading BBQ and was with Dave at the school's doing promotions.

If there was a mastermind other than Terrie, my money would be on Walking With the Wounded actually orchestrating the scam since they are highly experienced with promoting events like this run. In fact, their entire Facebook page is filled with associated events like Dave's LEJOG.

Dave's always had a problem with his feet:

"Chas Allen As Dave feet swell due to all the miles the size of his trainers needed to be addressed.

Or this chap - Martin Rendle of Dunerunner Races, as they sponsored him too and gave him free kit.

Someone set up that website and I don't see either of those two being computer programmers, and they got it changed pretty damn fast.

"makes me wonder if they have a brains behind this scam"

Agree, and after watching this it makes me wonder if the photographer/video fella is the master manipulator behind it, he seems to be everywhere and all over this scam.

From Dave's Facebook: "Dave Reading The legend photographer,you will all see his massive logo on the LEJOG support vehicle 🚗 coming soon. MMark Hewlett"

One things for sure, considering how this was set up so professionally and slick, Dave and Terrie are just too thick.

They seem to be planning a fancy trip to KENYA with this Mark Hewlett (the photographer guy who was the photographer on the trip), along with another member of the family, a Charlie Reading

Mark Hewlett Photography

2 March ·

I've been missing the nature days recently....so a timely look back over a few favourite memories from the last year or so. Such an honour to be in the presence of truly majestic animals. And a special shout out to Charlie READING who will be out there with me later this year we hope.............

Dave Reading

Maybe we need that trip to Kenya 🇰🇪. Beautiful photos Mate. Stunning.

Terrie Reading

Wow !!! Charlie is looking forward to it 😊

I don't think it would be Dunerunner. They only came in halfway to the scam after it was already well underway. You have to look for those who have been their since the beginning. This rules out Joe the driver or Mark the photographer since they came on board after the scam started. None of the sponsors were there at the beginning of all the Facebook posts.

This leaves the possible mastermind suspects to be Terrie, Dave, Mo Farah, or Walking With the Wounded since those are the only ones involved with this from the very beginning. And you already know my thoughts on who is the mastermind.

funny how all his sponsors and buddies say they never knew Dave was a blagger and didn't know he was someone who couldn't run, yeah right

just shows how stupid they are if they got one put over them by Dave after all he's not the sharpest tool in the shed

Blagger

British English informal someone who gets something they want by lying to people in a clever way.

I retract what I said about Mark the photographer not being a mastermind suspect based on the new evidence. He clearly has a close and personal relationship with the Readings before this whole scam began. And he would be the one photographing and filming everything, including incriminating evidence that Dave's training runs were fake. Therefore, the mastermind suspect list is now Mark, Terrie, Walking With the Wounded, Mo Farah, and finally Dave, in that order from most to least probable.

Mark knows that Dave did not run 150 mile in 30 hours…because he was there. He knew Dave was a Cheater-Liar-Fraud a long time ago…and never said anything.

Who else besides Mark the photographer was on the fake 150 mile run in 30 hours?

His 14 year old son on the bike?

OH NO DAVE.

This is not good at all.

Who were all the people with Dave during the fake 150 mile run in 30 hours?

They all know about Dave.

His buddy and former colleague, on this trip following his progress from the van on camera for social media, broke his back when he decided not to let off his emergency parachute because he knew that the flying pack from the first parachute which ejects may hit his friends above him. He chose to take his chances on a free fall, and broke his back instead.

So that is Mark's connection to the Readings, he knew Dave from the RAF Reserves. And this is the man who would also have the experience of setting up their LEJOG2017 website. He would have to be in on the scam to only photograph and film Dave in certain locations and setups to not expose the scam. He would also have the capability to plan the LEJOG route and timings so that it would not look entirely fake. He is now my primary mastermind suspect for this whole scam.

No name for the buddy.

I can't believe that Dave would involve his son in these fake ultraruns.

Was his son really there during the fake run when they made the videos?

Who else was there?

Mark may have made the trailer video with music and the treadmill video with Dave.

Dave's running shirt for that treadmill video had so many sponsor's ads and decals on it that Dave looked like a NASCAR driver.

It is Dave but Mark knew and did not tell anyone. He is in on it and GUILTY. Sorry about that.

Terrie was involved in an AUTOMOTIVE business!

This could be the AUTOMOTIVE business that employed Robert Young…before he decided that was a boring job…and he would become MarathonManUK and write his autobiography…"MarathonMan".

It is a complicated Brit Web of fake-Ultra-Runners involved in multiple Ultra-Cheater-Liar-Charity Frauds and Conspiracy against the Royal Family including Prince Harry.

All Brits are really worried now.
