The Way of the Runner - conversations on running with Adharanand Finn

Paula Radcliffe is one of the true legends of running, a former marathon world record holder, multiple world champion over the marathon and cross country, winner of the London marathon (3 times), the New York marathon (3 times) and the Chicago marathon. Now 51, Radcliffe discusses her decision to return to the roads to run the Tokyo and Boston marathons. She also discusses her greatest races, how her childhood running club in Bedford played a key role in her success, and she addresses the thorny issue of doping and the time she was publicly accused by the Sunday Times.
