More quotes by Paula Radcliffe
I have always loved running on the roads, ever since I used to take part in relays for my club when I was 12 and 13. I felt really at home on the surface.
Paula Radcliffe
I apologise to people when I need to.
Paula Radcliffe
In the marathon anything can happen.
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
For an athlete, the biggest pressure comes from within. You know what you want to do and what you're capable of.
Paula Radcliffe

Paula Radcliffe
I prefer just a women's race. It's a totally different game mentally.
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
At big championships it's not the fastest person, it's the person who gets it right on the day.
Paula Radcliffe
I used to say that the newspapers were tomorrow's fish and chip paper, but I didn't really mean it I could still be hurt by what they said. After Athens, I just didn't care.
Paula Radcliffe
The biggest danger is trying to put too much pressure on yourself, trying to get in too good shape.
Paula Radcliffe
The Olympics is not a race I want to watch on television and think 'I wonder what I could have done if I was there?
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
I can swim I'm not bad, but not great.
Paula Radcliffe
You see, with me, when I'm nervous, I smile and laugh.
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
You can't magic yourself back 10 years.
