Amy Hughes, 28, from Manchester UK broke a Guiness World Record on September 9th 2016 by running 521 miles (834km) in 7 days! That’s the equivalent of 3 marathons a day or 21 marathons in 7 days.
Amy ran her World Record challenge at The Trafford Centre using Sole Fitness treadmills (TT8/S77/F85), running for over 20 hours per day.
When asked what inspired her to do the challenge, Amy said, “I remember very clearly the day I thought about doing this challenge; I was reading an article about long distance running records and the idea suddenly came into my head - what if I can run this amazing distance on a treadmill in just 7 days? I thought Why not! Let’s give it a go!” After I got over my anxieties about preparing for the challenge and faced up to my fears, I started running for over 15 hours every day on a Sole Fitness treadmill - it's enough to make anyone go crazy!“
“This is unknown territory and this is just what drives me, giving me the energy to push my body and mind more than I’ve every done before in my life! I never think negatively - I'm always thinking how I can make myself stronger in both my mind and body.”
“Those people who have been supporting me have helped push and inspire me and I will be donating all sponsorship money raised to the 53 Charity Foundation.”
