3:57:06!
This thread is not just mocking Amy, it is also pointing out that she is very far from being a world class athlete capable of setting running world records.
She has three company logos on her website and clothes. Is she getting sponsored for this challenge? If so then she is a fraud.

I'm not sure if you've noticed but she has been wearing a shirt that says 400 MILES.
"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."
http://amyhughes53.co.uk/events-challenges/All of that is bull. This is on the same page where she says her Guinness World Record is pending. If you don't think these claims are dishonest then I don't know what to tell you.
So she still has a day.
If she doesn't cover 100 miles than you can call her a fraud.

Well it's her first HM on Strava, she's had it 3 days.
The more I see of her running exploits the more I start to believe that there is absolutely no way she is capable of running 53 marathons in 53 days and, even less likely, to break the treadmill world record.
She has shown herself to be an unprepared, untalented, hobby jogger who has somehow managed to create a social media profile and charity that is providing her with a lifestyle that exceed her talents as a runner.
Given the evidence on this jaunt, and the lack of evidence on all her previous 'stunt runs' I cannot fathom why anyone would actually believe any claims she makes in relation to her running ability.

Doable. She did 74 per day for 7 days so has 135 or so miles left in her legs.
'One long hill to Santa Eulaila'. Elevation change of more than 3 metres for 4k out of 21k.
4:03:04 for a Half Marathon today. Amy does not disappoint us.

why has she been doing roughly 20 miles a day then?????
She keeps complaining about hills. Does she not realize we can see the elevation changes (or lack thereof) on Strava? This latest entry looks like a pleasant walk down a slight grade.
Amy the legend
When will the Facebook fans and sponsors finally twig that this is not a world class multi-day runners' performance. It's not even that of a below average club runner.

Disagree with that part. How many people do 13 miles for 3 days in a row? Not that many.

I feel like this thread has just descended into nastiness rather than exposure of any fraud.
She seems like a pleasant and fun personality, no need for it.
This "400 mile run" that clearly isn't happening, is proof that the 53 marathons and treadmill thing were a total fraud. Both were thrown out by Guinness anyway, yet she still claims they are records on her social media, just awaiting confirmation.
She is proving on this trip she has no talent at all as a runner and couldn't possibly have done what she claims.
I don't think scamming the public to donate to a scam charity by lying about dong 53 marathons makes you a "pleasant and fun personality". It's what con artists do - suck naïve people in to make them like them in order to obtain money.
Rob Young was able to dupe people into funding his lifestyle as a stunt (fake) runner as he was a "nice guy".
Let's not forget her and the bf are taking money from this "charity" as "expenses".

Not many set out to spend that much of their day "running" for so little reward.

We don't know that they are. They might have inheritance. Making unsubstantiated statements discredits you.
She is fun and pleasant. I'm not convinced she's an elite runner. But not many people who run longer than marathon distance are. They don't have talent to compete so run further.

Amy ran a 4 hour half with 2k of uphill so roughly equivalent.

The bf has no job. He's a trustee of the "charity" with her and the father.
It doesn't take a genius to fathom they are drawing expenses.
It has been reported to the Charities Commission.
She PRETENDS to be nice in order to draw people in to get them to donate.
Of course she isn't an elite runner, yet claimed she ran hundreds of miles to steal a record off a genuine runner, when she cheated.
That makes you a fun and pleasant person? Stealing a record is okay with you?

What if they have an inheritance?
