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

Shite Hawk wrote:

Going back to his training for a sub 3:30 marathon last year, Neil declined any payment for himself for his training programme, but DR was to pay £400 into a charity of Neil's choosing, if he beat the time. This was to be paid from the £5k that he was promised. Needless to say, the donation never materialised.

Are you sure the five grand never materialised? How about it WAS donated but never found its way to the charity, but to him instead.

Do we know WHO was to donate this?

For the avoidance of doubt, I was referring to the donation from DR to Neil, not the £5k.

Dave taking a break from London Marathon training for family birthdays right now - but do not fear he will be back on it real soon. And he is determined to prove you all wrong about his running ability!!

His latest facebook post. Looks like he has a new scam in the works.

You mean his own facebook profile, as his LEJOG page seems to have still been removed?

So you are on his fb friends list, as this is not a public post?

So he's still planning on doing London - Shame. Did my best to get him booted out.

There's still time.

Is he going for the 3:15 challenge? On the electric bike?

I'm not sure which I'm more enamored with: the room decor or his acne. Is this your new van driver, Dave?

Wasn't he the little monster in "Carry On Screaming" ?

He really wishes someone would get him booted out, else he might have to run the whole thing and that would not be good for him... Might 'shred' his feet again, and no backup van to hide in with many people looking out for him... poor love!

Dave's military training and front line battle hardened experience is coming in to play here and he's advised those involved that may be able to answer those and a long list of other questions to follow his 22 SASR SF OPS SOP's CAMO INCOG COS MO.

Those following his 22 SASR SF OPS SOP's CAMO INCOG COS MO:

Dave, organ grinders monkey and Walt.

"He's" wife Terrie, finance controller.

Mark-Hewlett-Photographer-Journalist-Videographer-Organ-Grinder-Walt.

Joe the Driver, the driver, new it was a sham.

Nicky Gilkes, Mattressman, 5k slush fund?, but who the feck really knows what his involvement was and what he knew.

Chas Allen, DuneRunner, innocent at this stage, just another poor sod who was duped.

Jackie Heffer-Cooke, occasional article contributor in local rag, innocent at this stage, just another poor sod who was duped.

Neil Featherby, non-coach, innocent at this stage, just another poor sod who was duped.

Prince Harry, innocent at this stage, just another poor sod who was duped.

The van hire bloke, innocent at this stage, just another poor sod who was duped. Although to be fair he did reply to the ultra bloke who posts here that the van rental was paid for, but who knows, guessing at a vastly reduced rate and Dave got the free car hire to do the lejog recce in.

All the other sponsors and donors, innocent at this stage, all just poor sods who were duped.

Questions:

1) Does Karl Meltzer look like a real Ultra-runner?

Answer:

Yes.

Karl has run over 130 Ultra-races.

"Karl Meltzer, an American ultrarunner with a list of 36 100-mile wins longer than anybody else’s, showed how to make your claims cast-iron, in his film Made to be Broken: show close-ups of your battered, blistered, beaten-up feet on camera. The 45-minute film, released on 13 April, documents his successful attempt to run the 2,200-mile Appalachian Trail in the fastest known time and is a thought-provoking, extremely watchable piece of cinema. And it also shows anybody who is thinking of attempting a fastest known time that if you do it right, you suffer. There’s little time for selfies on Meltzer’s run, the man known as Speedgoat’s third attempt at conquering the trail. The 49-year-old runner clearly suffered in the 45-and-a-bit days he took to run the trail in the summer of 2016; that was plain to see – as was the stunning yet hostile terrain he ran across, from Maine to Georgia."

"And just last week Dave Reading came in for a ton of online abuse when he claimed he was about to attempt the UK traverse for charity, despite having little pedigree as a distance runner."

Question:

Was Karl Meltzer stopped by "shredded feet"???

Answer:

No.

Question:

Was Karl Meltzer stopped by "internet trolls"???

Answer:

No.

Karl Meltzer is the real deal.

For Dave and his SF MIL mate, Mark-Hewlett (and maybe Nicky Gilkes), COS re OPS was SITNORM and SOP on a daily basis IAW REGS and in consideration of PERSEC and OPSEC.

For civvies in the DZ involved in the sham COS is a lot harder, they're not as used to maintaining it as MIL PERS and have trouble keeping their noggins down and below the parapet and their gobs shut.

Hopefully one of them will spill the beans soon.

No chance any of them will talk, Dave & Mark have promised to split the spoils and make it 'all good' at the London Marathon..... then when things have calmed down a bit they can have another crack at the LEJOG record, but this time with a lot less publicity - well until after they have 'Done it' !!

I messaged Mark Hewlett and he opened message and ignored me. Sent another one, being cheeky and he just blocked me.

He is DEFINITELY IN ON IT!

My message that got me blocked, LOL

"You were so in on it! You even wrote articles on him. Your writing style matches the articles exactly, proving you were in on planning a FAKE world record LEJOG.

Is the missing charity money funding your Kenya trip for you and all the Readings?

Where's the money gone mark? Especially the five grand for the fake sub 3:30 London?

Plus all the missing money from the charity buckets, and those charity events they put on where they probably KEPT ALL THE MONEY"

Why would he even show up for a 5 hour marathon? We've already forced them to take down their entire online presence (except for Mark Hewlett). Dave's not running for fun, he would need a money angle.

Because it's London! Its a very popular race to do and he's unlikely to ever get the chance again.

I think he'll run it. Remember he did over five hours there in 2015

You would probably have better luck pestering Sealskinz since they are the ones paying for Dave Reading's London Marathon and are too stupid to read this thread and realize they are being scammed.

Sealskinz dont open facebook messages. I have told them. YOU try.

Have you ever tried giving them a phone call? It's old fashioned but you will likely be able to talk to someone directly from their marketing department.

If he runs, he'll make the expo because Prince Harry has gone out of his way to get there to shake his hand, slap him on the back and introduce him to his fans. Anyway, we'll soon know if he registers while he's there, if he does we can expect great things, here's the number to look out for:
