Much easier and cheaper to silence people with the GPS evidence I would suggest.

It really is a sad reflection on society.
Amy went and took on a massive challenge, made it the most public she could. Because Guinness guidelines are a bit fuzzy she did t get the record. We are trying to speak with Guinness but they don't have an appeal. Those that know us know we are 100% honest and trustworthy and now a small minority feel they can:
Question Amy's attempt
Call her a cheat
Tell her she is not a good runner
Body shame her
Question Amy and myself' integrity
And now question out charity and the money raised and where and IF we have given money to people or pocketed it.
We have been open and honest from day one maybe we made a mistake? Maybe Guinness have but because Guinness release a statement people take that as gospel. They have made many mistakes before why not now?
It is at the point now where I have had to take the decision to get a legal team involved.
We accept that when you have a public profile you are open to criticism (constructive is fine) but vile bullies questioning us and our charity will not be tolerated.
I wonder if I named and shamed them on social media and they got loads of incoming what the reaction would be?!

It's a standard mode of operation. Why waste time answering the questions and providing evidence. It's much easier to pay a lawyer to stop people asking questions you don't want to answer.

Yup.
Nothing like lawyer threats to get the board all fired up!
She was running on a Sole treadmill, not LifeFitness. Do you have the service settings for that one?
Also if you have ever met her or if you just pay attention to her videos then you would understand that she's a bit...well...missing a few lights in the chandelier.
Did they contact Guinness before they started the attempt to find out what specifically they need? It doesn't seem like her or her team is firing in all cylinders.
Are there any sort of published logs? If I was going to run 75 miles a day (lol), you'd be damn sure I'd have hourly reports of what I did and did not do.
She had applied to Guinness for the 53 in 53 days and got rejected for that record. So she should have know that you apply before trying to set the record and when you apply Guinness will give you very specific requirements that are needed for record verification. There is no excuse for her getting this wrong since Guinness verification requirements are explicit.
I wonder if she got the km versus miles settings confused on the treadmill? In the UK isn't standard distance measured in km? If so then why would she even advertise a record in miles?

Pretty much this. If Guinness gives you 20 things to do to make a record good, then you need to do all 20.

Here you are
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/519643/Sole-F80.html?page=31Important is 3. where you set the settings for Kilometers or Miles.
I am just guessing Amy ran 521 Kilometers, which still would be a lot.

Poor girl, she gets rejected all the time.
Maybe it's time for a real race. Woman against woman.

We measure distance in miles, despite attempts by Johnny Foreigner across the channel to make us move to metric.
It's called imperial for a reason old chap.

I've looked at a few vids on YT. She's a totally vacuous dumb girl and clearly had no idea what she was claiming to do. She probably thought the WR was the running equivalent of sitting in a bath tub of baked beans for a week.
Dave Keighley looks like he's got slightly less brain power than Dave Reading, which equates to a pretty fvcking significant grey matter deficit.
I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.
You know the "legal team" will just be one bloke who's a friend of a friend, and of course the charities will be picking up the bill...
There's a definite personality type that these scammers fit, would be very interesting to get them all in a room together and do some game theory with them.

Cry, because your whole future is depending on people like this, after Brexit.

Trust me, some of us have been crying for years at the morons people want to vote for Boris.
Mmmh, I just had a look on Dave Keighley's twitter account.
And I found this beauty:
Dave Keighley†@davekeighley80 Jul 26
Call me cynical but it seems that people who opt not to pay @GWR £650 find it hard to have records verified?! @53Marathons #payforarecord
https://twitter.com/davekeighley80?lang=en
So they didn't pay the 650 or 750 pounds to GWR? Even Dave doesn't know how much it is, if you scroll down a little further.
P.S: No need to delete it, since it is already saved.
Even if she had "Strava" or GPS/Garmin data, this hater forum would just say she/they hacked it somehow.
He claims to be a former Royal Marine. Anyone know how to validate that?
Former armed forces, current scam runner sounds familiar....

Obviously this thread is full of misinformation, when the head conspiracy theorists can't even get the TM type right (but only cares about personal experience with some irrelevant brand), and create some fantasy where it's impossible to service, as if reading a manual weren't the obvious thing to do.

Hi Dave
Thanks for dropping by at letsrun.com, and welcome to the world famous message boards.
Since you're new I'll take the time to explain that this isn't a hater forum. Any gps data recorded on a Garmin or similar device and uploaded to Strava would be scrutinised in great detail and acknowledged as genuine if there were no discrepancies in it.
While you're here could you take a minute to explain how the mileage for Amy's world class 53.53 challenge was established? What equipment did you use to record the distance covered and where is the log of this stored?
Thanks Dave!
