In the marathon anything can happen.
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 would be happy with an Olympic bronze. What I don't have is an Olympic medal.
Paula Radcliffe
I was glad I did a year abroad, because it helped me as an athlete and as a person. That took me out of my comfort zone. Watching the French athletes train in the Pyrenees made me realise what I had to do to become a top athlete.
Paula Radcliffe
In the week before a race, I try to stay away from germ areas. I keep disinfectant wipes in my bag for when I have to use a supermarket trolley or something like that.
Paula Radcliffe
A half marathon is a good way to have a bit of fun and race against those girls and learn a bit more about them.The world half marathon is a world championship at the end of the day and it's important. I've win it twice and it's a quality event.
Paula Radcliffe
I've always been good at putting things behind me–I fall apart, do my crying bit, and then put it away and move on.

I am not driven by any bitterness by what happened in Athens. I learnt a lot of lessons from it and probably came through it a stronger person in the end. There have been a lot of near misses, and that's taught me to keep persevering and that there is a chance it can come right.
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.
Paula Radcliffe
You can't become a winner overnight, or even in a couple of years-it takes time... You will lose races and you will have to accept that, learn from it and believe that you'll win the next one, knowing that you'll probably lose that as well. All the time you have to keep believing that one day you will win.
Paula Radcliffe
I've had a lot of success over the years racing in New York, but the main point is that I feel the marathon is a different event, a lot more my event.
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.
Paula Radcliffe
You see, with me, when I'm nervous, I smile and laugh.
Paula Radcliffe
You can't magic yourself back 10 years.
Paula Radcliffe
I don't like going away from my children.
Paula Radcliffe
It's good to be back, feeling like myself and enjoying it.
Paula Radcliffe
I don't really have an explanation. I'm struggling myself to comprehend what has happened and find a reason for it.
Paula Radcliffe
I don't feel guilty in having pleasure!
Paula Radcliffe
Every time I go out and race it's a goal to go out and run faster than I've done before.
Paula Radcliffe
The biggest danger is trying to put too much pressure on yourself, trying to get in too good shape.
