Interested to see what this story amounts to.If facts are to become true or not @seaningle
World record-holding running magazine boss is accused of posting fake times for the London Marathon: Oxford-educated Kate Carter 'may have used software to manually create results' with 'no evidence' to show she ran the entire race, it's claimed trib.al/54vb3wR
1) Taking off a race chip bib to not ‘overcook’ pacing makes no sense as shared with a friend via SM?
2) It’s unfair for competitors around you to remove/ edit your bib
3) It’s really unsafe for race organisers such as @LondonMarathon @LLHalf to know who’s on the course, when!
Finally as a publicised ‘England Atheltics’ run coach & ‘@tracksmith run leader, I’m sure one of the @england athletics codes of conduct is not to encourage unfair advantage or competition! Sad, if this is the case!

Without athletes and journalists highlighting issues in elite sport, it would all be ignored in favour of medals, money and fame.
Sport and those who run it, cannot regulate their behaviours and can no longer be expected to.
The status quo does nothing to advance performance
Pleased I responded to the DCMS Call forEvidence on misconduct, harassment, bullying, & discrimination @BritAthletics! Medals mask systemic cultural issues which have never been tackled! No hand to play in any departure but a review should be conducted on itsorganisational health

At the 1928 Olympics, women ran the 800m for the 1st time.
After the race, reporters wrote stories of women collapsing in utter exhaustion with half the field dropping out
None of that occurred
The 800 was eliminated for 32 years. Stories are powerful.

Stunning running @keelyhodgkinson! 🔥 🌟 another NR! So much air time and command of the race!
Congratulation to Adane on the new female @NightOf10kPBs record of 29:59! That’s a 70 second improvement of which I’ve donated £350 to @RunforRon! A worthy cause to help athletes access equipment, coaching/travel expenses to support & develop their potential! 🕊
3/3 So I will be donating £5 for every second that my meeting record gets beaten by at tonight’s @Nightof10kPBs.
Good luck to everyone racing. 💫 Run hard and enjoy lapping up the incredible atmosphere.
2/3 @RunforRon was a charity that I was lucky enough to receive a bursary from in the earlier part of my career. Now, I want to see others have the same opportunities and be supported in their development.
1/3Athletics is something I love and am passionate about which means I am always looking for ways to give back to the sport. In light of recent events, @RunforRon in particular has been in the forefront of my mind.
