Was George Foreman competing at a high level when he sponsored the grills? It's about profile.
I thought it was a George Formby Grill and then there was a mixup - that's how I burned my ukulele anyhow.

No, just a few thousand 'followers' on IG and you'll have freebies galore...
No mention of mileage from her or not getting anywhere near her target.

Thank you for asking her to join Strava before this challenge. Yours was one of the few fb posts from non-supporters that didn't get removed (I got banned by bully boy Dave).
Amy was brave putting herself on Strava and has laid bare her running ability, for which I give her respect. She is a pretty shit runner but is clearly determined.
Our Amy has come a long way but has a long way yet to go to fully address her demons. The world record claims have to be withdrawn before she can live a quiet life.
I think that this latest venture has been 100% legit, thanks to LR trolls etc etc... and if I were a non-runner, or social media fitness person, I might even be inspired by Amy's constant holiday photos. I'm a simple man, and I find her very attractive.
If this were the first thing she'd done, I think she'd do well from it. Unfortunately, the cringeworthy WR stuff and bf's defensive/aggressive behaviour has nullified everything she's ever done, and will ever do.

She is a rather coquettish ingenue, but needs better management, truthfulness, and run real recorded races.

I not only agree, I don't understand why she doesn't enter more races.
She lives near where I live, in the Peak District, and there are some amazing races around here (and not too competitive). I think she would come top 3 women in most events here that aren't trophy events.

Top 3 you've got to be joking!
I see she's skipping over the fact she's completed not much more than half of her 400 mile challenge.
I'm originally from the Peak District- New Mills. What area are you in?

My wife's family is from Glossop, small world.
Got my pb in Glossop 5 - 27:05. A long time ago!

No chance of top 3 in the shorter stuff with competitive runners, I agree, but I think she'd do okay at some of the low key events over a long enough distance. Just my opinion.
I'm in Buxton, so not far from New Mills.

The top of long hill! Have cycled up it but never run it.
I agree she obviously had some endurance ability. My view is she is avoiding competitive running as people would realise plenty of people can do the same but better.
Has she stopped wearing the clothes with 400 miles all over it. Most of us have had athletic disappointments, failures or dnf. Most wouldn't dress that up as a big success.
Come on you blokes give Amy a break, her running style isn't suited to trail running, more roads and treadmill, I thought that was fairly obvious to any idiot.
And you call yourselves runners, experts even, what a joke.

What style is that? A good runner runs on any surface and adapts. In fact becoming a better runner involves facing a variety of conditions. A treadmill is an idealised training aid, not really a class of running.
Forget all these 400 in 14, 53 in 53 or treadmill WR challenges, I just want to see more mud running videos from Amy & Dave.

Yes indeed.
The mud run was the best:

Now that's more like it...I'm not sure if this was a serious video or a parody of the typical gym bunny / tough mudder runner. Either way it is one of the funniest 'running' videos I've ever seen.

****LONG POST ALERT*****
Hey guys! Just one more post from me today before I go buy some indigestion tablets and hit the hey(ROCK AND ROLL I KNOW 🙈)
I just wanted to give a massive shout out to my Dad for believing in me and my adventure. My dads company JustBMW24-7 are my main sponsor for this event. When I told him what I wanted to do a month or so ago he wanted to get involved in some way. We've never ever worked together in less you count that one time when I was 14 and he made me stand in town all day handing out flyers.?!
Right...bare with me now, what I am about to say most definitely not a negative, im just saying it because I have always said from day one I will always be honest with you guys about what I'm doing, how I am feeling and why I am doing what I do. So after the Guinness situation online trolling was something that became really bad for me. Luckily I have wonderful followers and it's something I had not experienced before, but it got really bad for couple of weeks, unfortunately only by a small handful but it became so bad I didn't even realise at the time that I was barely eating, I was crying daily and my confidence was in pieces. Like I said I'm really not saying this is a negative way-in fact, as always the negative only makes me stronger, more determined and more ME! So I wanted to strip it all back! Do something that involved doing what I love to do..having fun, running some miles, seeing new places and inspiring a few more people along the way with no plan as such, no support, nobody to carry my kit, nobody to answer to, no daily mileage to meet! I wanted to do something amazing for myself and the people that constantly support me! So there's two thanks here I guess...
Thanks to the trolls for making me stronger, harder and more determined than ever and thank you to my Dad and justBMW24-7 for having my back believing in this little venture and making it possible 😘😘
So here we have yet another Amy fail.
The 53 in 53 was a lie and was rejected by Guinness, and the treadmill record was cheated with no independent witnesses and also rejected by Guinness.
So now we also have a fail for this 400 mile run.
She was more interested in having moronic boastful t-shirts made, than researching the route and training with a pack.
She just revealed what a crap runner she really is.
The crying video was just disturbing. A desperate cry for attention.
So her dad funded this. She tells us this as we have implied her "charity" could be funding it. Erm, her dad is a trustee, so that proves nothing about where the money actually came from for her walk in the sun.
She gives something away in this post - "nobody to answer to".
Sounds like she gets pressured by the nightmare boyfriend and was happy to spend time away from him.
Every Dave Reading needs a Terrie to manipulate people, and Amy has a David as HER partner in crime - a nasty aggressive man who is happy to keep this scam going.
So I wanted to strip it all back! Do something that involved doing what I love to do..having fun, running some miles, seeing new places and inspiring a few more people along the way with no plan as such, no support, nobody to carry my kit, nobody to answer to, no daily mileage to meet!
The thing is, she did have daily mileage to meet, as published on her website:
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.
She's now retrospectively removed all mileage claims from her description of the challenge:

I find it amusing that it's been changed after the fact but is still written in the future tense. She must think her followers are as thick as shit.
