What an idiot! Imagining lying about all that and then photos showing your watch working! 😂 hope runners world have been informed of what a lying and false individual she is!! 😡
I love the level of detail that the investigation went into, catching pictures of the watch NOT being dead is brilliant. I love the marathon investigation website, loads of interesting stories!

And the fact they went on and purchased her photos to do so 😂👏🏻 if she has any kind of honesty about her then she would release a post about this. The watch is just one driving factor of evidence stacked against her. Even to come out and say “it’s not true I cheated BUT”! But let’s face it she will likely go missing for a bit and then come back as if nothing happened
 
I used to read her guardian articles about a decade ago when she was going for a sub 3. She’s definitely good!
So I wonder if the cheating is to keep up the look to stay "good"? I missed my sub 3hr attempt on my first marathon, never in my mind would I think to cheat to get that result or cheat to get any result.
Runners know the hard word and satisfaction that comes with it at the end, whichever target you are aiming for. She isnt racing for money, she already has her career. Does she get a kick out of it? Im not saying she isnt good, but I'd question any race of hers now

Exactly! I can’t get my head around this and why you’d go to all those lengths to conceal it. Everyone knows you might have an off day/season/year - it’s not as though she is really making money and her name from being a super fast runner? As in - she’s not selling training plans or whatever. She’s a journalist!

Was just looking at her Po10. She was clearly running really well in 2021/22, less so over the past year or two (albeit she’s still an amazing runner with an age grade much better than mine 😅)
 
I know she's a proper athlete (and this is not the place to discuss), but as she also acts as a "online coach" Charlotte Purdue has lost quite a lot of weight since last time I saw her. Her IG appeared in my fed and I'm a bit shocked! (I know she's elite and bla bla bla, but as she "trains" IGs people, I put it here)
 
It always boggles my mind when I hear about the lengths people take to cheat. Cutting courses is bad enough, but creating all of that (incorrect) data on Strave is another level.
That's totally mental! and she run it without the chip, so she knew what she was doing....

Do cheaters in London marathon don't get banned forever?
 
Tbh I’m a bit lost as to what she’s done. I get it when people swap bibs mid-course etc but are they accusing her of cutting the courses to get a faster time? I’m not a strava/running data person and got a bit lost by the article (other than they were accusing her of cheating).
