Paula Radcliffe She is a British Olympic athlete who has made headlines these days for participating in Leeds (United Kingdom), seven month pregnant, in a 10-kilometer charity race in order to raise funds in the fight with childhood cancer.
The athlete, who is a marathon world champion and world record holder, was careful not to pay too much attention to her personal brand, since she made a time of 45 minutes and 35 seconds, 15 minutes more than her 2003 record: 30 minutes and 21 seconds.
Despite being seven months pregnant, Radcliffe completed the 10 kilometers of the route and did it very well accompanied, since her daughter Island was next to her.
Interestingly, it is not the first time that the runner participates in a race while pregnant since in 2006, when Isla's pregnancy was around the sixth month of pregnancy, she dared to participate in another race.
The athlete will give birth in September, although she says she has not left the workouts, since He plans to participate in the London Olympics, which will be held in 2012.
The race was held for the first time in 2007 and year after year it has become a fixed appointment in the athletics calendar and at the same time in the fight against childhood cancer. On this occasion 11,000 people participated and were able to raise almost two million pounds.
Without a doubt it is a beautiful gesture of the athlete, who is sure that he is in good shape if he is able to run 10 kilometers pregnant for seven months, even jogging. I obviously am not pregnant, I doubt if I could finish them.
