After Winning the New York Marathon and the birth of her first child Paula Radcliffe told BBC Radio Five.

I'm a long way from wanting to step back and I really do want to continue through 2012 if I can.

Paula is still recovering from the birth of her first child after a painful back injury but is confident that the break will help her future performances.

I think the time away from the sport because of the breaks for the pregnancy and then the injury has really refreshed me, she said.
