Read the information abut Paula and answer the questions.
A day in the life of Paula Radcliffe - Marathon Runner
4. 8.30am
Sometimes, my daughter Isla wakes me and my husband, Gary, up, or, more often, we wake her up. After I
get up, I always check my pulse. It's usually 38-40 beats per minute. If it is too high, I rest for the day. It's so
important to listen to my body. I have a drink and a snack while giving Isla her breakfast.
9.30am
We take Isla to nursery and then I start my training. I run, and Gary rides his bike next to me and gives me
drinks. Four times a week, I have a cold bath or go for a swim in a lake after training.
12.30pm
I pick up Isla from nursery and we go home and I eat a big lunch of cereal and fruit. Then I have rice and
salmon, or toast and peanut butter. I try to eat as soon as possible after training. After lunch, I play with my
daughter.
2pm
I have a nap in the afternoon, and Gary usually takes Isla out while I sleep. When I wake up, I have a drink
and a snack while Isla has milk. I eat a lot during the day, especially bananas and dark chocolate.
5pm
I go running again. In total, I run about 145 miles every week. I write about all my runs in my training journal.
I record everything, including how I feel and what the weather is like. I train hard every other day, go on an
extra-long run every four days and rest every eighth day.
7pm
In the evening, I do my exercises. These keep me strong during long runs. Isla likes to climb on me while I
stretch. Gary gives Isla her tea and cooks mine while I finish my exercises. Then I finish cooking dinner while
Gary gives Isla her bath.
7.30pm
Gary and I eat our dinner. I have red meat four times a week with rice, pasta or potatoes, and lots of
vegetables. We also eat a lot of stir-fries, because they're quick and healthy.
8pm
We put Isla to bed and relax. I check my emails and watch TV or chat with Gary. I love police and hospital
dramas!
10.30pm
Time for bed. As I brush my teeth, I stand on one leg and then the other. This keeps my legs strong. I enjoy
reading, but I haven’t read much since Isla was born.
