Paula Radcliffe
You see, with me, when I'm nervous, I smile and laugh.
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.
