Paula Radcliffe

Paula Radcliffe
I'm confident of what I have to achieve in the buildup to London 2012.
Paula Radcliffe
At big championships it's not the fastest person, it's the person who gets it right on the day.
Paula Radcliffe
I deliberately returned slowly to training after Raphael was born and everything, apart from being bitten by a dog while out training in Monaco at the beginning of the year, has gone pretty well.
Paula Radcliffe
Today was not about times, it was about getting in there, enjoying the race, and enjoying the atmosphere
Paula Radcliffe
From my training I can get a good idea of what I'm capable of.
Paula Radcliffe
I actually got a nice surprise about being a mother because I expected it to be harder and to have to make more adaptations.
Paula Radcliffe
Actually I don't choose to expose myself in public. I choose to compete the other side just comes with the package.
