Next up in our series covering our favourite British athletics stars, it is…
Paula Radcliffe
Paula was the former Women’s marathon world record holder which she held for 16 years after running 2.15.25; an incredible time by any standards.

Paula could be identified quite easily by an unusual head bobbing style when she ran but after winning London marathon 3 times, New York marathon 3 times and Chicago marathon once I don’t suspect anyone would question her technique!
You can watch Paula winning the Chicago marathon below. An outstanding performance.
