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.

From Paula Radcliffe

I don't feel guilty in having pleasure!

From Paula Radcliffe

Never set limits, go after your dreams, don't be afraid to push the boundaries. And laugh a lot - it's good for you!

From Paula Radcliffe

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.

From Paula Radcliffe

I would be happy with an Olympic bronze. What I don't have is an Olympic medal.

From Paula Radcliffe

I'm not meek at all.

From Paula Radcliffe

I never plan to run at a certain pace. All my career my motto has been 'no limits.' I don't try to run with a set time in mind, sticking to set splits, because what happens if you're ahead of your splits - are you going to slow down?

From Paula Radcliffe

For an athlete, the biggest pressure comes from within. You know what you want to do and what you're capable of.

From Paula Radcliffe

At big championships it's not the fastest person, it's the person who gets it right on the day.

From Paula Radcliffe

If I start planning then that's dangerous because then I have a target that I'm blinkered towards and I won't listen to the warning signs quite so much. I'd rather be in shape and then look around and say there's a race next week and jump into that than have it planned.
