    ATTENTION LETSRUN!

    I, The LRC Grand Arbiter of Justice, have reviewed all of the evidence (there isn't any) and made my decision:

    Amy Hughes is a fraud. Also, kind of hot. (And that really makes this whole "cheating for charity" publicity scam a little bit more bearable, yes?)

    The Grand Arbiter has spoken! Let it be known! The punishment shall be at least 40 more pages of LetsRun truth seeking, leading to media attention and eventual discovery of Ms. Hughes' deceit. That, or a series of tasteful yet sensual photographs featuring Ms. Hughes in neon spandex mailed to [email protected]

    Watching Amy Hughes and Dave Keighley going down the tubes as alumni Robert Young, Mark Vaz and Dave Reading did before them. Little did they know.

    Running out of popcorn soon have to get some more.

    This is your "proof"? That Amy & Dave are fakes because some previous guy(s), one of them named Dave, supposedly cheated? It's amazing that sort of logic is considered useful, but the Internet has always been stupid.

    We're already up to Page 13, and there's still not an iota of proof that Amy faked any GPS data.

    There's not any GPS data at all, fake or real. In fact they have not publicly provided evidence of any kind.

    Yeah, but she was scary. Amy is much more a soft focus sort of girl who likes unicorns.

    Are unicorns an actual thing?

    They all cheated and we have proof of that.

    It looks like that Amy and Dave have no proof that Amy ran 520 miles, just that she was on a treadmill a lot for a week. Unfortunately we have no idea how the distance was covered.

    There is actually a logic which says that Amy is probably not good enough to run 520 miles in a week.

    But hey she can always sign up for a real 6 day race and run something like 400+ miles. We would all eat our words.
    Past experience shows that this probably is very unlikely to happen.
    The great Robert Young also said it was a big misunderstanding and he would run a 6 day race this Spring. It did not happen because it would have been a disaster for Robert Young. No way he would have covered 70+ mile days.

    Again, if Amy runs a 400+ mile 6 day race she will be recovered until then it's just she said (520 miles) against he said, that would be us ( she is a fraud).

    You would think that if the data were as easy to fake as LRC naysayers say, that they could demonstrate this by now, but they've completely failed too (even if it's irrelevant to a treadmill run), and made various excuses about it.

    If she reaches 2500 petitioners, everybody gets a free Guinness and he record counts double. 1040 miles.

    "Their sport is becoming a farce..." LOL. I s'pose that means T&F is already a farce since it is difficult to name any professional athlete in this sport who hasn't been suspected or caught doping. This entire sport is full of cheaters.


    BTW. Per the video on the initial post, Amy ran on a Sole Model 85 treadmill. I sometimes run on an F80, 2017 model, and it has an app that let's you easily record runs on iphone via Bluetooth with recordings of date, time, distance, speed, etc.

    If I was doing a World Record run I would have recorded the data in as many locations as possible. Also, I can't believe that, being sponsored by Millet Sports, who provided three treadmills for the event, that they didn't provide independent witnesses.

    Contacting Millet Sports could be a way of determining if the machine had a calibration certificate and if was set to record miles or kilometers.

    This would not meet the Guinness definition of 'independent", given as they are a sponsor.

    Exactly. Guinness invents a nearly impossible bar to surpass. You could just as well argue that they themselves are not "independent", since they are in the business of marketing via world records.
