Her running has earned her a number of accolades including the
She ended her competitive running career at the 2015 London Marathon.[6]
Early life
Radcliffe was born on 17 December 1973 in
When Radcliffe was aged 12, the family moved to Oakley, Bedfordshire and she became a member of Bedford & County Athletics Club. Her joining the club coincided with a talented and dedicated coach, Alex Stanton, building the women's and girls' sections into one of the strongest in the country, in spite of Bedford's relatively small size.
Radcliffe's father became club vice-chairman and her mother, a fun-runner, managed the women's cross-country team.[8] Her first race at a national level came as a 12-year-old in 1986 when she placed 299th out of around 600 in the girls' race of the English Schools Cross Country Championships. She finished fourth in the same race one year later.
Radcliffe attended Sharnbrook Upper School and Community College. She went on to study French, German and economics at Loughborough University, gaining a first-class honours degree in Modern European Studies.[9]
Running career
Radcliffe's father was a keen marathon runner as a young man. He took up the hobby again in an attempt to lose weight after giving up smoking.
1992–1996
"I'm not looking to make a living out of it. Obviously it's nice that there's a bit of money coming in but that's not my goal. I just want to do my best and still enjoy it. I want to keep on enjoying it, keep on improving, get as much out of it as I can and put as much back as I can."
Radcliffe a week after finishing second in her first senior race.[8]
At the
1997–2000
1997 saw Radcliffe split Wami and Tulu, and win the silver medal at the 1997 IAAF World Cross Country Championships.[27] Radcliffe became the first woman to defend the Fifth Avenue Mile title.[28] In the 1997 World Championships, Radcliffe finished in 4th place over the 5,000 metres.[18] Wami again outsprinted Radcliffe in her final race of 1997, in the Brussels cross country event.[29] Radcliffe had dropped out of Durham's cross country race with flu at the start of 1998,[30] but bounced back to finish third in Dublin.[31] At the 1998 edition of the World Cross Country, Radcliffe again won the silver medal.[32] Radcliffe set a new world best for 5 miles (8.0 km) on the road around Balmoral Castle.[33] At the European Cup Radcliffe, captaining the team, won the 5,000 metres and finished second in the 1500 metres.[34] Radcliffe set the pace in the 10,000 metres at the European Championships, but finished fifth.[18][35] Radcliffe, who was suffering from a virus, took some time off,[18] before returning to the cross country discipline, where she won her first senior title by taking the European Long course race.[36] 1998 finished with a fourth-place finish in Brussels.[37][38]
Radcliffe started 1999 by finishing fourth in Durham.
Starting 2000, Radcliffe won the Stormont Cross Country race for a third time.
She won back-to-back titles in the 2000 and 2001
Cross country champion
On 24 March, Radcliffe won the
Held in March in Dublin, Radcliffe defended her title in the Women's Long Race when she won the 2002 IAAF World Cross Country Championships title for a second year. She won in 26:46.[73]
Marathon world record
In 2002, Radcliffe made the move up to the
Later that year, Radcliffe set a world record time of 2:17:18 in the Chicago Marathon on 13 October 2002,[76] breaking the previous record by a minute and a half.
She was awarded an MBE in June 2002.[77] She said: "It means a great deal to me, it's a great honour and it really tops off an amazing year. To come here and receive this and to meet the Queen at the end of it just finishes it off perfectly."[78]
Later the same year, she became the BBC Sports Personality of the Year, making her the first woman in over a decade to be honoured with the accolade. Paula thanked her husband Gary Lough, her coach Alex Stanton and her physio, Gerard Hartmann.[79]
Further world records
Radcliffe set her last women's marathon world record during the 2003 London Marathon in April, with a time of 2:15:25. The performance is one of the highest of score's values in terms of the IAAF World ranking points.
Radcliffe is the former world record holder for the women's road 10k in a time of 30 minutes and 21 seconds, which she set on 23 February 2003 in the World's Best 10K in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[80]
Radcliffe won the 2004 New York City Marathon in a time of 2:23:10, beating Kenya's Susan Chepkemei.[81]
2004 Athens Olympics
Radcliffe did not compete in the London Marathon in 2004, but was the favourite to win a gold medal in the marathon at the
Regarded as Great Britain's best gold medal hope in athletics, her withdrawal made headlines in the UK, with editorial stances ranging from support to negativity, with some newspapers deriding Radcliffe for 'quitting', rather than going on to finish the race.[84] Television pictures showed Radcliffe in a clearly distressed state after dropping out of the marathon, being comforted by two friends from her early running days.[85]
2005: Marathon World Champion
At the 2005 London Marathon, Radcliffe won with a time of 2:17:42, a world's best time for a women's only race by over a minute. The race is remembered for a notorious moment towards the end when Radcliffe, hindered by
On 14 August 2005 at the World Championships held in Helsinki she won Britain's only gold medal when she took the marathon title, dominating the race and setting a championship record time of 2:20:57. Catherine Ndereba of Kenya finished in second place, more than a minute behind. Radcliffe said: "It pretty much went according to plan. If somebody had been with me at the end I think I could have pushed it up a bit more." She and three other British runners were also awarded third place in the team competition.[89]
Family and autobiography
Radcliffe took a break through the 2006 season owing to injuries and in July announced that she was expecting her first child. Her comeback was further delayed in 2007 as a result of a stress fracture in her lower back.[90]
Radcliffe chose not to defend her world marathon crown in 2007, in order to undertake further rehabilitation, but insisted she wanted to compete in the next two Olympics. She made her return to competitive running on 30 September 2007, taking part in the BUPA Great North Run in the UK on Tyneside. This was her first race in almost two years. Radcliffe finished second behind US runner Kara Goucher.[91]
Radcliffe made her marathon return at the New York City Marathon on 4 November 2007 which she won with an official time of 2:23:09.[92]
Radcliffe released an autobiography in 2004, Paula: My Story So Far.[93]
2008–09: Beijing Olympics and fitness problems
Radcliffe withdrew from the 2008 London Marathon due to a foot injury.[94] Shortly after the London Marathon, it was also revealed that Radcliffe was suffering from an injury to her hip, preventing her from running. Originally thought to be a muscular problem, scans later revealed it was a stress fracture to her femur. Radcliffe won the 2008 Great South Run in 51 minutes 11 seconds, 11 seconds off of Sonia O' Sullivan's course record. In May, Radcliffe broke her left leg.
Radcliffe managed to get to fitness level for the 2008 Summer Olympics, but cramped during the marathon to the point where she had to stop running and stretch. She resumed the race and finished in 23rd place overall.
Radcliffe won the 2008 New York City Marathon, making it her third victory at the competition with a time of 2:23:56. Russian Lyudmila Petrova came in second, and American Kara Goucher took third.[95]
Following the New York Marathon, Radcliffe suffered more injury setbacks: she had to withdraw from the
Radcliffe went on to win the New York City Half Marathon in 1:09:45, two seconds off the course record. However, after this she pulled out of the World Championships as she felt unfit, and she missed the 2009 IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in Birmingham due to a bout of tonsillitis.[98] She returned to action at the 2009 New York City Marathon but failed to notch her third consecutive victory, instead fading to fourth place with knee problems.[99]
2011 onwards
Following a 19-month layoff that included the birth of her second child, she returned to action at the Bupa London 10 km (6 mi), where she finished 3rd, 55 seconds behind the winner, Jo Pavey. Radcliffe called the performance "a bit of a disaster", and indicated she was suffering from a tear in one of the discs of her back.[100][101]
She set the 2011 Berlin Marathon as her comeback venue to try for an Olympic qualifying time. She came third in the race with a time of 2:23:46 hours – getting the Olympic standard and the fourth fastest time by a European that year.[102] She was dissatisfied, however, saying: "I'm not particularly happy, either with my time or my place. I came here wanting to win".[103] She used the 2012 Vienna Half Marathon to gauge her fitness and the race was set up as a battle between her and Haile Gebrselassie, with Radcliffe receiving a head start of 7:52 minutes (the difference between the two athletes' personal bests). She did not perform well and was comfortably beaten by the Ethiopian, while she crossed the line after 72:03 minutes.[104]
Radcliffe pulled out of London 2012 Olympics because of a foot injury.[105]
In January 2015, Radcliffe announced that she had decided to end her marathon career on 26 April 2015 by competing in the 2015 London Marathon.[106] She finished in 2:36:55.[107]
Other achievements and awards
- Awarded the BBC London Sports Awards 2003 for 'Sporting Moment of the Year'.[108]
- Radcliffe has set numerous records, official and unofficial, on the track and the roads. As of November 2009, she holds the official world record for 10 km (6 mi) on roads.World Cross-Country championships (in 2001 and 2002), and in December 2003 became European Cross-Countrychampion for the second time, the only woman to have achieved this feat in the event's ten-year history.

- Nominated for the Sports Personality Award in 2007.
- Won the Laureus World Comeback of the Year award in early 2008 for her performances in 2007.[111]
- Radcliffe won the Londoner of the Year award at the 2016 London Press Club awards despite being from Bedford.[112]
- Radcliffe was made an Honorary Doctor of Technology (Hon DTech) by her alma mater, Loughborough University in 2002. [113]
Anti-doping activity
Radcliffe has frequently made high-profile condemnations of the
"We should be pleased. One of the biggest frauds has been caught. Her medals should also be taken away"
Radcliffe on Marion Jones in 2007.[118]
Radcliffe has advocated a system where first time offenders are banned for four years and any future offence for life. However, she felt that in cases like that of Christine Ohuruogu, who missed three out-of-competition drugs tests, that she should be allowed to compete in the Olympics, as the BOA does not allow anyone who has served a doping ban to compete.[119] However, when Ohuruogu admitted to not trying to get to the tests, Radcliffe expressed her disappointment and hoped that it was a lesson learned.[120] When Marion Jones admitted to steroid use, Radcliffe stated that it was good for the sport that Jones was caught and that they had to keep testing and that people being caught is a big deterrent to would-be cheats.[118]
Unfounded doping allegations
Reflecting upon the scepticism created by incidents of doping, she said "You have to accept the situation...it would be great if we could win the battle against doping and have testing that was 100 per-cent reliable, but I don't think that will happen in my competitive career." She has previously asked for the results of a blood test taken at the London Marathon to be made public, saying that she had "absolutely no objection to my test being released".[121]
In 2015, in the wake of revelations of widespread doping in athletics,[122] Radcliffe said that, unlike some other prominent British athletes, she would not be releasing her blood-test history, and discouraged other athletes from doing so.[123] She was later indirectly identified as a suspected doper by MP Jesse Norman during a parliamentary inquiry into blood doping.[124][125] In response, Radcliffe issued a statement in which she "categorically denied" cheating in any form and said she has "nothing to hide".[126] Shortly afterwards, her three suspect test results were leaked, though Radcliffe still refused to release her complete blood-test history.[127] In late November 2015, the IAAF declared that the accusations were "based on the gross misinterpretation of incomplete data". The UK Anti Doping Agency, having received Radcliffe's blood test history via the IAAF, stated that "UKAD has come to the same conclusion as the IAAF review that there is no case to answer".[128] It is likely that the first suspicious off-score was caused by faulty equipment. The third suspicious off-score was the direct result of an altitude training trip in Kenya with Mo Farah and other British athletes.[129]
Personal life
Radcliffe was born to Peter and Pat Radcliffe[130] and is the grandniece of 1920 Olympic silver medallist Charlotte Radcliffe.[1][131] Radcliffe met her husband Gary Lough, a former Northern Irish 1,500 m runner, when he was her lodger at Loughborough University.[132] The pair married in 2001.[133] She gave birth to her first child, daughter Isla, in 2007.[134] Her second child, a son, Raphael, was born in 2010.[135] The family resides in Monte Carlo.
