When trying to improve your marathon pace, training, nutrition and the right pair of road running shoes are typically top of the list, but one prominent running magazine editor has been accused instead of cutting course sections and posting misleading race times to make her performance appear better.
Kate Carter, who denies the claims of wrongdoing, is currently the acting commissioning editor at Runner's World UK as well as being a qualified running coach, marathon runner and Guinness World Record holder – in 2019 she ran the London Marathon dressed as a panda, setting a new record for running the race while dressed in a full body costume.
