either way you should have screenshotted it.
Still there on Facebook 53 53 marathon
She sent me a personal message as well. Said does not know why people keep saying why she should run an ultra or 6 day race as 'it's irrelevant'
Take a screenshot and upload it to Imgur so we can see because I don't see the comment you are talking about either. It looks like there should be 3 comments on that latest Facebook post but when I click into it, only 2 are visible.
Oh, and she knows exactly why people are asking her those questions and challenging her. Because she is a big fat liar.
Took screenshot but not on imgur. What difference does it make seeing it?
> I call the 53 marathons in 53 days a complete fabrication
Can't vouch for all of them, but for the later ones, she posted where she was going to be each day and asked people to join her. The one here in Cambridge, I know people who ran with her, she was just under 5 hours. One of her marathons was nearer 8 hours I believe, with most of it walked. Clearly, she is not a great runner, but I don't see any reason to doubt the 53 in 53 - way too many witnesses.

One such runner said she stopped at 18 and said I did the rest earlier. That's not what most people would consider running a marathon.
Having witnesses for a few and no strava record is not sufficient to claim any sort of record.
How did she fund nearly 2 months in hotels?

Especially when the 52 marathons on consecutive days relates to official marathons not just going for a 26.2 mile run and the "record" for unofficial consecutive days stood at 365 at that point.
It was never remotely a record, but it was a great little stunt to self promote to an ignorant media who love a good puff story.

And she's right. One doesn't HAVE to do "ultra"-running to be a 53/53 world record marathon holder, because she never ran more than ONE marathon in a day. And running on a treadmill is MUCh different than so-called "ultra"-running or 6-day races. None of which are in Amy's vibe.

No but she DOES need to run another 313 consecutive marathons to break that record.
Nobody is saying that she HAS to run an ultra. They are just saying that in the total absence of any real evidence of her distance covered on the treadmill (and if you can provide any actual evidence that would be great l) it might be beneficial to demonstrate her running ability in an independently monitored environment, such as a race.
Amy's "vibe" seems to be making unevidenced claims of world records, that mysteriously never get ratified, whilst seeking the maximum amount of media exposure without actually having to prove age did anythinvbif note.
Mates it's a cash grab that's all it is. Obvious
I’ve searched and searched all over the internet and I can find zero evidence anywhere to support Amy’s claim to of ran 53 marathons in 53 days or, that she ran the distance claimed on the treadmill WR attempt.
From experience just about every endurance athlete and / or hobby jogger I know loads up data to Strava etc. When you consider that many people are alleged to of ran ‘marathons’ with Amy during the 53 / 53 stunt you would think it would be very easy to see the data. Furthermore, she claimed to of ran 521 miles in 7 days yet, no one has ever actually seen the supporting data.
Given that I’ve had conversations with several people who ran with her during the 53 marathons stunt and they all claim they didn’t actually run a marathon with her, and the lack of transparency around the treadmill WR I find it hard to believe in anything she claims.

The 'marathons' were on a road and the treadmill was ultra distance so no that big a stretch.
In her message to me she said she'd met me as trained near where I live. Only about 200 miles away! Seems a bit weird.

She's really going to meet you? In that case, I should give you a heads up that Any Hughes has a private MapMyRun account where I know she has uploaded GPS data for two of her 53 marathon runs. One link is below, I will try to find the other one. It would be better if you can ask her for the links to the rest of the treadmill running videos so that I can analyze them for the treadmill belt rotations. Much more concrete proof of cheating and lies.

I had made a friend request to Amy's MapMyRun account to see if there are any other marathon records in there but I don't think she accepted.

No she said she'd met me in the past I'm afraid.
So we've spotted checked her 53/53 World Record, and the "Map My Run" agrees that Amy ran 42.21 km, even more than the required 42.195 for a marathon. Plus we have innumerable press testimonials, and that many people joined her in the final runs as she proceeded to her triumphant 53/53 World Record in support of the 53 Foundation (see above).
Why is there even any doubt anymore?

Ummm, no. Having only 2 GPS records doesn't equate to having done 53 marathons on consecutive days.
The press testimonials and her friends as "eye witnesses" are worthless PR. You had all those press testimonials and shills for Any Hughes treadmill run yet there is video evidence of her cheating and telling lies I found.
On her Facebook page back in June 2013 she mentioned running a 3:38 marathon in Shrewsbury.
It took part in that day but can't find results anywhere it's not on Run Britain or her power of 10 profile
14 minute miles? Well, now it makes sense why she doesn't upload her "runs".
