If you look back at my marathons and ask whether I would swap one of them for my one balls-up, of course I would. But you can't choose. You have to make the best of it on the day. Paula Radcliffe backballchoose Change image and share on social
At big championships it's not the fastest person, it's the person who gets it right on the day. Paula Radcliffe bigchampionshipday Change image and share on social

From my training I can get a good idea of what I'm capable of. Paula Radcliffe capablegoodidea Change image and share on social
You can wish as hard as you like but all that really matters is the shape you're in on the day of the race. I've always felt these really big races aren't necessarily won by whoever is the fastest. They're won by the athlete who is the smartest and in the best shape on the day. Paula Radcliffe athletebigday share on social
I set myself some specific goals, but the key one is just getting myself into as good a shape as possible for one day this year: the Olympic marathon. Paula Radcliffe daygoalgood Change image and share on social
I took a lot of bad things after Athens. I just learnt to deal with it. The problem was beforehand I had this feeling where I was trying to please everybody - I wanted everybody to like me. Paula Radcliffe athensbaddeal Change image and share on social
I am not driven by any bitterness by what happened in Athens. I learnt a lot of lessons from it and probably came through it a stronger person in the end. There have been a lot of near misses, and that's taught me to keep persevering and that there is a chance it can come right. Paula Radcliffe athensbitternesschance share on social
