Paula Radcliffe Marathon Quotations

I am really disappointed to have to miss this year's event. The Flora London Marathon is something that is extremely important to me, and I have done everything possible to resolve the problem and get to the start line.

It's not a decision to double up, it's more a decision to use the 10k as preparation for the marathon, ... The marathon is still the main focus but I just felt I was in good 10k shape and wanted to build on that. I felt it could fit in without harming the marathon.

Plenty of people who are 38 have run really well in the marathon.

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.

In the marathon anything can happen
