Paula Radcliffe

I'm not meek at all.

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.

I deliberately returned slowly to training after Raphael was born and everything, apart from being bitten by a dog whilst out training in Monaco at the beginning of the year, has gone pretty well.

I'm a terrible grocery shopper. I hardly ever do it. And if I do, there's never more than three things in the bag.

When you start hiding things away, that's when the darkness creeps up. Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Most people don't know what they spend in every single area, but they know they have a problem in particular areas.
