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!"

"It's totally different from last year because I came in with good shape with no health worries so it was about going out there and running well and enjoying it."

"You see, with me, when I'm nervous, I smile and laugh."

"Yeah, ideally, I'd probably wish to be more anonymous. But scrutiny and success go together. And I want to be successful."

"I've had a lot of success over the years racing in New York, but the main point is that I feel the marathon is a different event, a lot more my event."
