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

She was running about on some pisspoor show on Sky a while back. She seems to be in Women's Running magazine this month too. Red Bull seem to be using her to promote various things. I assume all of those pay something and I certainly see people with far fewer social media followers making some kind of living out of it.

I find it truly amazing that magazines such as 'Women's Running' would offer column space to anyone who is as a unqualified and unexperienced as she is. Speaks volumes of the influence of social media in the modern world.

The fake world record claim has now been removed from the front page of Amy's website and the bragging has been toned down a little. Who's going to be tracking her 400 mile run in 14 days starting at the end of the month?

Still ridiculous claims, comparing her to Jo Pavey and making out she's famous.

Not even RUNNERS have heard of her and certainly not average person in the street. She is totally unknown.

As the 53 fake marathons never produced any data then this expensive jaunt in a few days, paid for with charity money, won't either.

There will be zero proof she ran this 400 miles, just a bunch of selfies with her gob open.

Its just a funded vacation for attention.

Spot on...it's just a funded 'attention seeking' stunt. This is all about her raising her social media profile and not really about raising funds for the 53 Foundation. There will be lots of face pulling selfies, regurgitated motivational soundbites, and zero documentation to prove how far she ran.

are we talking about Jo Pavey European champion, World Champs bronze medalist, mutiple Olympian, 2:28 marathon runner and one of the most well known athletes in the UK?

surely not.

i'd list Amys achievement but she's done sweet fcuk all.

get a grip Amy. that ego of yours is spiralling out of control. i think a few less selfies and bit more self reflection is in order.

She is so typical of all scammers. They have no shame and when exposed they just carry on like they aren't bothered at all, like the Readings.

She has done absolutely nothing in the real world of running and will have learned nothing from all this and will post no watch data for the next scam run, but will just demand more attention and CASH for her "charity".

I wonder how much the real figure is that they take for themselves?

How on earth could she be in a top 100 pole as a totally unknown person?

Who on earth chose these 100 people?

She does a fake 53 marathon stunt and ends up in the top 100 Brits? Then top 5 running heroes ? She is unheard of! Can only be fixing votes somehow

What is this lunacy

"This achievement placed Amy 27th in the Telegraph’s Top 100 Britons of 2014 and established her alongside the likes of Jo Pavey in Runner’s World Top 5 Running Heroes of 2014. Amy also picked up ‘Running Moment of the Year 2014’ at the prestigious Running Awards."

Another day another scam:

Let's hope she can manage 28 miles per day without cheating.

Run Island.

4 Islands…

400 miles…

14 days…

On 30 September, Amy will be heading over to the Balearic Islands to run both cross-country and the coastlines of all four islands. Amy will be covering the distance on foot and will travel from island to island by ferry and plane.

The adventure will begin on the beautiful island of Formentera, the smallest island – just 12 miles long.

Amy will run from top to bottom in one day, starting and finishing on 1 October before she heads over to Ibiza by ferry.

Ibiza will be the second longest run, where Amy will be running around the island’s coastline covering 140 miles over a four-day period.

She will then be getting a boat from Ibiza to Palma, Mallorca, where she’ll be running cross-country from one side of the island to the other, finishing in Alcudia.

This run will consist of 40 miles’ road running, where Amy will start and finish on the same day.

Finally, from Alcudia Amy will then travel to Menorca where she will take on the final and longest leg, covering 185 miles over 6 days and averaging 30 miles a day.

Can't see her in this list. 27 is a panda! Is their a different list?

My mistake she is there it's the No under the 27/100 which is the ranking.

It's voted for by the waiters of the Telegraph not the general public. Still not bad for someone who never actually set a world record.

Never heard of this one. No way were they official races but claims she logged them on Garmin, which is more than Amy did.

So as this was 2015, did Guinness accept it? I'll have a Google.

I just asked Amy this. I'll post any response!

Hey Amy, as there was absolutely zero evidence of your claimed "53 marathons" and same for your failed treadmill attempt, I assume you will have learned from the thorough rinsing you got on Lets Run and will of course be providing full watch data to Strava or Garmin for your next 400 mile "run"?

After all, if you are asking for money for your "charity" and claiming records and getting loads of freebies and media attention from sponsors for these "runs" it's only fair you provide evidence for people.

Do give me a link for this 400 mile "run" data so we can all follow along on Lets Run.

Though it does rather sound to me like yet another fake stunt just to get attention and more cash for your "charity" so please feel free to prove us all wrong and let us follow every step of this 14 day "run".

Watch data immediately uploaded to Strava each day as soon as you stop "running" would be a great move, with of course, cadence and heart rate, so we can tell you aren't cycling or driving.

Yes, it seems this Alice Burch satisfied Guinness with her Strava data for running her own marathons. I don't use it, are all these 60 marathons on there?

Now the single mum is just having more babies so doesn't appear to have done much real racing since

It's a jolly and she knows In Ibiza nobody can join her. Naff all chance it will be uploaded to Strava.

Since I assume you are blocked by Amy Hughes, I'll post what she wrote about 8 hours ago on her Facebook in response to your questioning. She is in complete denial about being exposed as a cheat here despite the overwhelming evidence and her board of followers responded with about 126 comments, all seemingly to have never read what I wrote about the video evidence :

Amy Hughes is as bad as Dave Reading. I wish another investigative reporter would pick up the story about her to give her some publicity.

She may be able to dupe 100 or so middle aged housewives on facebook but no one in the running community will ever take her seriously or believe her nonsense.

No doubt the publicity over her complaining about Guinness has already had a negative impact and caused others to question the validity of her claims.
