I get the feeling that the media is being a bit harsh with that Paula Radecliffe.
Poor lass, running like that for 26 miles, you wouldn't get me doing that, even if I could.
Well done to the lass I say

quite a few people pulled out of the marathon before the race as it was so damn hot & dry...
she did well running as far as she did, the media are just cocks, I'd like to see them try and run that distance!
Wouldnt be suprised when she comes home we have shit loads of media-moogles around northwich to try find her & bug her

I disagree, shes supposed to be our best athlete EVER and she didnt even finish  Poor if u ask me... quitter is a tag she will be labelled with - fair enough if she was injured (no signs yet that that was the case) but to just drop out as she dropped to 4th
