Yes it happened last summer. Without that scandal that Guiness book of Records didn't approved their fake data, we wouldn't even know it.

Oh, now I see this attempt happened way back in September so that explains the date. I suppose it wasn't until GWR rejected it that we all heard about it? I mistakenly thought this was a recent attempt.
I've found a different hidden link from the Millet Sports YouTube channel with about 12 hours of the live feed! Let me archive video before sharing the link. It shows Amy Hughes running with Dave Keighley watching over her but it doesn't show any numbers on the treadmill.

Watch for the old trick from the film "Speed" with the film looped ;-)

No need, I found some MUCH more damning video footage from the live streams and am waiting for one of them to finish downloading. I have 3 of the live stream videos covering about 27.75 hours in total. They don't show the treadmill display but the repeated and flagrant acts of cheating I see after the mall is closed to the public is alone enough to invalidate the record attempt.

Probably just Facebook disallowing the direct links. But I do recommend downloading videos you think could be deleted in the future, like the 3 live stream videos I will be posting.

Upps the little videos I posted early are already deleted. Looks like somebody is reading this thread very carefully :-) LOL
Damning Evidence Amy Hughes' Cheated at Her World Record Treadmill Run
Further to my open letter to Amy Hughes on August 2, 2017 with the subject of "Open Letter to Amy Hughes - Claim of World Record for 7 Day Treadmill Run", I have now found a few of the hidden links to the live stream of the event filmed by Millet Sports. Below are the working links but I would need Millet Sports to reply to me to get a complete set of links.
What I have found is damning evidence of cheating.
Just off the top of my head, what I can see is that:
[1] Facebook is the most user unfriendly website out there. You can't search for content on it like common sense says you would be able to. I had to manually scroll back through all the posts on the Millet Sports Facebook page to find some of the links.
[2] The time/distance display on the treadmill is not shown in any of the live stream videos. Although, you can see a portion of Amy Hughes' legs so it may be possible to estimate speeds for some portions based on cadence and stride length (that will be tedious).
[3] No one is doubting that Amy Hughes was running at the mall for the record attempt, even Guinness has said that. What is in doubt is the distance covered.
[4] We can clearly see that David Keighley is the one doing the vast majority of the recording of the mileage SOLELY. This is in violation of Guinness rules that requires 2 independent witnesses to record the mileage.
[5] When the mall closes and at various other times, I see either no witness watching Amy Hughes or only David Keighly is present. I believe this is also in violation of the Guinness rules that requires there to be at least two witnesses present.
[6] But the most damning thing is that I can see Amy Hughes hanging/suspending herself on the bars of the treadmill with her hands while "running" when no one is watching. For example, there are many times she did this when the mall was closed (with Dave Keighley present in behind the dividers) at these times of the Sept 6, 2016 YouTube livestream:
10:55:25 - 10:55:45
10:56:10 - 10:56:32
10:57:42 - 10:57:59
10:58:51 - 10:59:00
11:00:39 - 11:01:01
11:01:01 - 11:02:15
11:05:08 - 11:05:26
11:07:46 - 11:08:10
11:09:10 - 11:09:29
11:10:04 - 11:10:18
11:11:25 - 11:11:44
11:16:14 - 11:16:30
11:29:26 - 11:29:41
11:30:10 - 11:30:29
I uploaded a few screenshots to http://imgur.com/a/5fASs for illustration.
Each time she hangs on the bars, it appears that she keeps a watch over her right side to see if anyone is there. I believe this is a serious and repeated violation of the record attempt and I need to review all the other live stream videos to see how many instances this occurred. I only have a small portion of one night of the live stream videos from when the mall is closed and yet I was already able to find so many acts of cheating. I will need to see if I can get access to all the remaining video.

Sept 2, 2016 - Amy Hughes Claiming About 100 km Covered in First Day
Note: 100 km = 62.1 miles. This is much less than the publicly stated goal of 74 miles per day in order to break the record.

Not to worry, I have a few loose ends I need to follow up on the Dave and Terrie investigation.

Thanks Andy, that should keep everyone occupied.
In the meantime here's another record, we're on Page 8 of the World Famous LetsRun Message Board.

Those live stream videos have got me thinking if those fast 10k's Amy Hughes claimed to have run towards the latter part of the record attempt to make up for being behind the distance was actually done at night when the mall was closed and we have those shenanigans she is pulling off. I think it opens the floodgates to see what else are in the other videos.
its a compliment wrote:
re the videos
this isn't body shaming in fact its the opposite its a compliment
she doesn't look like a WR ultra runner
as metioned a complete joke
"We raise funds with the help of donations and 100% goes back into the charity" - Yeah, but then what happens to it. Is administering the charity their main source of income?

Well done.

I'm confused, every serious female ultra runner I've met is sunken cheeked and has a gnarled, hardened and sinewy body.
