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.

A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.
