I think you have run out of credibility - you are managing the impossible task of making people root for the scammers with your approach.
Yeah, noticed that, was taken

2 January 2013 to present"
BOTH following the money
LOL, hi Terrie! Its good to know you are reading every post on here as i see you have now removed that you are "Dave's accountant" from your facebook.
Still following the money though arent you. Free funded trip, free bikes with Garmin, free kit etc.
And now we give you lovely FREE publicity to expose what you two really are, fraudsters
Yeah, noticed that, was taken off in the last hour or so cos it was there when I looked.
Terrie as your reading this could ask Dave to answer some of the queries that have been raised here, one that really seems to be bugging people is the 2016 London Marathon amongst other things. Also, I'd like to tell you or Dave this by FB personal message but you've blocked everyone, could you tell Dave to remove that FB photo with his address on, apologies for having to mention that here.
Oh all of the whistleblowers who have been working on this for years are used to the attack the whistleblowers credibility game. Kind of boring at this point, if you only knew the extent of games to silence the whistleblowers, it's crazy levels of crazy. It's designed to be. And none of it has worked on silencing any of the whistleblowers.
When your primary means of attention is this kind of faking runs and it's your whole life and you're addicted to the narcissistic supply you'll fight tooth and nail to keep that going. Especially if you also profit off it.
As opposed to the whistleblowers who have not now nor in the past in any way benefitted either in attention or profit by being the whistleblowers but who sure have put up with some beyond belief crazy games because they are whistleblowers. Curiously none of them have ever asked for attention or profit or compensation for that either.
It's probably those who profit in attention and funds and are desperate to keep that going who are the victims of the whistleblowers who in no way benefit and in many ways have quietly suffered.
Scam? I have only just found out about all of this during the last 24 hours and as to the website with me as his coach, the link was sent to me today by two close friends of mine. With regards to his previous running events, I advised him from the January to April prior to London 2016 and that was it. Dave was quick to move on after London and was indeed training with a coach at his local gym as far as I was aware. I have several athletes who are pretty decent and who also ran in last year's London and who I followed very closely during the race with one finishing in 2:41, another in 2:58 and one in 3:11. Needless to say we couldn't work out why Dave couldn't be tracked for which his wife sent a text afterwards saying he had finished in 3:12. Did that surprise me, yes it did as his training was geared to breaking 3:30. However he told us that the trackers had not been activated through no fault of his own and two weeks later it was all sorted via The London Marathon office. Dave only ever came to one of my group sessions and as far as I am concerned he completed all the training which was sent to him. Did he struggle in that particular session, yes he did, but told me he had done a 30 mile hike in combat gear that morning as part of his military training. In truth, he was not part of my group of athletes and I was just happy to supply him with programmes on the basis of the e mail feedback I was getting and still have. It was for charity, so why not? He told me he was going to get £5,000 for his charity if he could break 3:30. The feedback I was getting suggested he would do it. All his team members know that I think Dave will struggle to break any record and also know that I have said he will do well if he does it in three weeks, but hey ho and as already said good luck to the guy if he completes the feat of just finishing. Therefore why should we or anyone else not wish him all the best and even if we all know that he has made some very bold statements which not only puts pressure on himself, but has now brought all this on to him then so be it. As for also suggesting that his sponsors have had photographs taken with him for publicity, do you really think we need it especially the likes of Hoka and CEP amongst many other big companies that have got involved with his efforts and fund raising? At the end of the day, if his sponsors are happy and he raises money for his charity then who is the loser? With regards to upsetting people over his World record claims, well I am sure after Day One it will become pretty clear as to how well he may or may not do. Personally I think he will do well to complete 100 miles over two days never mind run as many miles for nine days on the spin, but I stand to be proved wrong and if what he tells us is correct about his military training then I will definitely have to eat humble pie. Going back to any photographs, he visits us once a week for sports massage and upon leaving we all wished him the best irrespective of what we all think with respect to his chances of setting a new World Record. Yes it has also been suggested that he is a little deluded with his claims, but we aren't the kind of people who want to or take great delight in belittling someone with such a suggestion to their face. Incidentally, I think you will find that Mo has had a photograph with him and given him advice ....unless of course that is another so called fabricated fib on Mr Reading's part which I don't happen to believe is. Give the guy a fighting chance and then all mock and point fingers if and when he fails if that makes you feel better. At the same time, be brave and don't hide behind your fictitious names either. If you have something to say with meaning then do it, but say it as yourself. It takes balls to be a runner whatever the standard and even if those who make claims which gets up the back of us all at times, results will always speak for themselves at the end of the day.
I don't know about you, but I would easily accept attention and money. I can be bought. My price is very reasonable.
I've now watched every single one of Dave Reading's training YouTube videos. Time I will never get back. None show him running or even breathing hard, except for a promo video for a gym of him running slowly on treadmill for a few seconds. He has a very pronounced toe-out of his foot that is torquing his knee. Dave needs to learn how to run....

No idea. The thread gets confusing with the inclusion of other people.
"Did he struggle in that particular session, yes he did, but told me he had done a 30 mile hike in combat gear that morning as part of his military training."
you were duped Neil Royal Air Force Reservists don't do 30 mile hikes in combat gear as part of their military training.
"his wife sent a text afterwards saying he had finished in 3:12"
so its legit then 16 months after 35 years of being a heavy smoker this big size fella did a 3:12?
Did his wife mention why there were no photos of him on the course? Did you see him on the course?
these are reasonable questions guessing theres more

Oh, Neil. You were doing so much better in your first post. Now, you are no different than Dave Reading or Matressman. And what £5,000 donation are you referring to? Because none of the 3 Virgin Money Giving pages Dave has show any online or offline donations anywhere near that amount. Here is Dave's Virgin Money Giving page specifically for the London Marathon 2016 that raised a grand total of zero:

Oh i seeee, so he's a hero with balls for lying and bragging he was world class and would return to London marathon as the world champion?
That isnt balls, it brass neck cheek, and a blatant attempt to defraud people out of sponsorship money, and to get on the telly and get more free kit and funding from sponsors.
London 2016. The 3:12. Nope, as has already been stated many times, he only appeared at the end of the race. No photos no split times.
A few days ago you posted that you were clearly supporting his challenge on the world record. So why do that if you now say you don't think he'll last two days? You havent just "suddenly" become aware he's only a 5 hour marathoner in the last 24 hours

It's not, we've seen the photo on this thread, unlike photos of Mr Reading in the first 25 miles of the 2016 London Marathon.
And as for "be brave and don't hide behind your fictitious names either" this always comes up on cheater threads so don't waste your time.
"I have several athletes who are pretty decent and who also ran in last year's London and who I followed very closely during the race with one finishing in 2:41, another in 2:58 and one in 3:11."
Did you or any of your athletes you followed see him on the course?, especially the 3:11 bloke, where there photos of your athletes on the course? I'm guessing there were.

Why do you want a picture of my junk?
I know there is a possibility of trolling but how did the no timing splits 4:19 London marathon 2016 become a 3:12 other than a wild claim?
The only photos for this run with Dave in are from Parliament Square to the finish and a clearly visible other runner in shot also finished in 4:19. To my mind it is quite a feat to persuade the London officials that one didn't step off the course shortly after the start and rejoin on the Embankment otherwise known as Rossi-ing the course.
odd
a quick random check of 6 3hr12m runners number of photos on whole length of course is 38,28,33,52,39,28 and all registered every mat
dave 12 photos last mile no mats registered
oh yeah and 4.19.38
I did a training run today without my GPS and still logged the miles. I have been a bad boy and deserve to be humiliated and severe beat down.
