According to Strava she has 'run' 213 miles and hiked 29.
242 miles is some way off her target of 400 miles, but she exceeded my expectations. She just needs to drop the ridiculous world record claims.
She's definitely not exceeded my expectations, she's done roughly the mileage that I suspected she'd do. To me she's simply a gym bunny / hobby jogger who has no idea on training, physiology and what it takes to become an accomplished runner. She comes up with random challenges to keep her social media profile active, claiming to inspire young people to become active. This in turn gives her a few freebies and minor sponsorships that help fund the lifestyle of a hobby jogger / stunt runner.
If she didn't make outlandish claims such as running 53 marathons in 53 days and, the treadmill world record or, running 400 miles in 14 days, I would probably be one of her supporters. However, whilst she still making such ridiculous claims I just see her as someone who exaggerates her running achievements and abilities to garner support and freebies.
