In these interviews, Paula Radcliffe speaks about the World Record, and how she feels about the WR. Paula Radcliffe also speaks about being part of the IAAF Athletic Integrity Unit, and supporting a clean sport. Here are some deep thoughts from Paula Radcliffe on all things marathon.
I was fortunate to spend some time this past January with Paula Radcliffe at the Dubai Marathon. I found her funny and thoughtful. She genuinely loves the sport and will fiercely protect the sport, understanding that true friends have to criticize friends when they are harming themselves or their activity. Thanks to Andy Edwards for looking out for RunBlogRun from London as I am back in Wisconsin dealing with recovery from cardiac catherization.
