Paula Radcliffe
I'm confident of what I have to achieve in the buildup to London 2012.
Paula Radcliffe
In my Olympic history I don't think I have achieved my potential as an athlete. That's what I want when I look back at my career. I want to be able to say I gave it my best shot.

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
We, as athletes, have our suspicions about who's cheating, but I'm not convinced that the testing has yet caught up with what people are using or what they are using to disguise it.

Paula Radcliffe
I start planning then that's dangerous because then I have a target that I'm blinkered towards and I won't listen to the warning signs quite so much. I'd rather be in shape and then look around and say there's a race next week and jump into that than have it planned.
