This Sunday Paula Radcliffe will start at the Berlin Marathon after two years without an race. I will be on the track and hope she will make a good race.
I like her, she is my best favourite! I run the NY Marathon in this year, and I was so tired that she is not run the ny marathon 2010. But it is okay, she have born a baby and this is greatfully too.
Is it me but at 0:36 where it shows the pack including radcliff, she's the only one who isn't heel striking, all the others have a terrible running style..
@chotsmagic ... and they were the fastest women in the world then. Similar comments constantly come-up concerning overpronation. Turns out that there is no uniform trend amongst elite runners' techniques.
I just Love her. I wish there were more videos to watch of PAula the Great! I told Chrissy Wellington (champion of Ironman female, also a brit, to meet up with Paula.She said she would love that. You heard it here first.lol I would love to meet Paula one day...OMG< she is the best female runner ever!!!!

She could win 100 marathons and the world will still see her as a quitter crybaby from when she quit and cried in front of the entire world at Athens...in front of 1 billion viewers.
I disagree. Totally disagree. She's a great runner, bottom line. If you've ever run a marathon, you know the effort that goes into it. If you've ever trained for a marathon, you know the amount of time and heart that goes into it.
I'm guessing you have run one, which is why I'm so surprised by the comment.
My assistant manager runs elite marathons, hes 43 and ran both london and edingburgh in 2:23. Im aiming for 3:15. This woman deserves so much credit I undertand how hard the training is

Well well, yet again "our Paula" has put money before country with a repeat of her antics of Bejing.
Having won the New York marathon and the hefty prize money that it brings, Paula is "devasted" not to be fit enough for the World Championships marathon in Berlin. A sense of deja vu here after the same thing happened last year.
It just seems strange how she is always fit for the money events but not for representing her country when no money is on offer.
Why oh why do youtube conversions/comments have to be reduced to immature name calling, insults etc etc. This is distance running, not nascar or an after hours NFL club or soccer pub.
sheeeeeesh (it does help if 'know' about the pain and train and the exultant glory of distance running--regardless of place or paycheck.
It's absurd to suggest she 'doesn't try hard enough' when there's no cash prize. Does anyone seriously believe that this world-class athlete doesn't crave an Olympic gold medal above anything else?
Get real, you people - she'd swap all the money she has for that Olympic medal. She's been unlucky, just as compatriot Kelly Holmes was unlucky, to be ill or injured when the Olympics occurred. Kelly's luck changed in Athens 2004 - here's looking forward to Paula's luck changing in London 2012.
"It's equally absurd to think that there's no financial incentive to win an Olympic medal. People who critise Radcliffe are just trolls"
Absolutely! The notion that she 'wouldn't try' to win in the biggest race of them all is too ridiculous for words. And as you point out, the financial gains for being an Olympic gold medallist go way beyond the prize money available for city marathon winners.
She had a stress fracture that only recovered 3 months prior to the beijing olympics!!!If she didn't care about her country why would she even put herself on the line at beijing when potentially she could have done more damage and put herself out of the new york marathon where as you say she could win loads of cash. She went to the world championships and won even when there was no money on offer so what's the explanation for that? Also she's missed money races before cos of injury.
You're an Arse hole, You do realise she won the world title back in 05? Atlanta, she wasnt quick enough, Syndey, she worked so hard to get a medal, and came 4th, Athens, Leg injury, Beijing, ran on a broken leg. Hardly her fault now?

Typically mercenary performance from her. She always does better when there's a load of CASH on offer. When it's just competing for your COUNTRY and no CASH, she flops like soggy paper.
Witness her pathetic performance in Athens and Beijing. She has no patriotic pride in being ENGLISH and disgusts me.
You are such a twat, she's won 6 world titles with no financial gain, paula doesnt disgust me, YOU DO. You have no idea about athletics or Paula at all do you?

Surprise, Surprise!
A money event and the lazy cow radcliffe decides to bother her ass and make an effort, yet for her country she just cant be bothered!
One a national Gem, now a National disgrace. I hope she never gets to touch another Union Jack, she isn't worthy.

I was thinking the same. How come she's able to fight through the pain when there is money on offer but unable when she represents her country.
