Paula Radcliffe
You can't magic yourself back 10 years.
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.
