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

Really?

Dave does Ultras, has a PTSD charity, is a big liar and was a big SMOKER.

Dave has a lot in common with ME.

I do Ultras, have a PTSD charity, and am a big liar also.

I also like to take breaks to SMOKE during my Ultra Records.

Dave Reading is just my type of Ultra-Man.

Unfortunately, it looks like Dave has DESTROYED his LUNGS and cardiovascular system by SMOKING 2 to 3 packs a day for 41 years.

Oh my Ultra-Man World Record Breaker!

Dave is going to be in deep doo doo by day 3.

I can dig it Dave!!!

Do you have turrets?

If he does, T'd watch out if I were you. The guns might be loaded.

I suspect the attempt will end after one day. He will claim to have choked on a sausage during the first night in the RV, and that will adversely affect his ability to swallow the liquid and solid nutrition needed to pump his organs full of engorging blood.

Are they lying in that article about the age of his eldest son? Because the picture DOES NOT show a boy that is 17 years old. Either that or all that home schooling stunted his growth and made him a runt.

Come on, you can hate on this "runner" all you want, but there's no need to take shots at an innocent (and not anonymous) kid. He looks like he could be 17 to me, and I don't think calling him a runt is in order.

Good god, you all sound like idiots. Following royalty is entertainment for stupid people. Get your own life. I've really never understood how it is that British people can be generally likable and reasonable in most areas of life, yet they suddenly sink to the bottom when it comes to royalty.

I am from the UK, for people I know your description

"royalty is entertainment for stupid people"

pretty much nails our feelings towards it.

Why has he raised less than $2,000 USD with all these sponsors and fund raising drives?

According to the Facebook page the world record attempt is off!

UPDATE - Due to some very nasty/vile private messages and comments from the Ultra Running Community over the weekend my team have decided to go back to our original plan, to get to get from one end to the other on foot to raise money and awareness for Walking With The Wounded. Dave does not need a world record especially one that is causing hate as this was never the plan. The tracker will still go live please continue to follow the team on what is still a huge challenge and will be a Massive achievement how ever long it takes them!

Thank you all for your continued support, it is great to know that we have some wonderful people and businesses behind up 100% no matter what happens! Thank you.

On lighter note my teams basketball shorts are ready to go for a run, and their belly's are nicely fuelled by HarryJoe's 😊 We will not go down without a fight!

0/10 Dave.

The World Record was never the plan? LOL!

Predict how long it takes him.

I predict DNF

He won't finish. DNF.

His credentials are super weak. He has no chance.

Their belly's what?

What? No one in LRC has an evil bone in their body.

Comment from Dave's Wife on FB:

Thank you it is so nice to see some positive comments after the weekend we've just had. Thank you from all of us at Team LEJOG

LOL. What a bunch of BS. Now that we exposed them, they still won't apologize and stop their scamming. They have also brought their website back up but removed any mention of Dave being able to do the run in world record time.

The game is on.

Actually, I think they will cheat on the run unless there are third party boots on the ground filming them. They've not shown any honesty and they have an RV driver.

You people are all idiots. I'm willing to bet that 95% of you people on these boards have not or ever been runners. Is that all you have to do with your days is put people down? I haven't read in length about this guy, but at least he's doing something? What have you idiots (all you who post on this site) ever done except sit in your moms basement and put people down with your keyboard? Reply or say what you want, anyone who runs ultra's knows that no one posting here has ever run or knows anything about ultra running.
