More quotes by 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

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
It's good to be back, feeling like myself and enjoying it.
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
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.
