I WAS born in Clitheroe and have worked as a chartered physiothera- < pist since 1984.

I have an international reputation for working with runners specialising in running up and down mountains and work with the female and male world champions in mountain run­ ning, the England Mountain Run­ ning Team as well as many other international and local runners. Con­ sequently, I often travel abroad dur^ ing the summer months to work with elite athletes at races and in the last • 12 months have been tO‘USA,.Cana- da, Austria, Switzerland and Czech Republic. I also work with other' sportsmen and women from the Rib- ble Valley plus a number of farmers. Everybody I work with has one aim r to be back to full fitness as quickly as possible. I have an MSc in Sports Injury Management and regularly write in a running magazine. I enjoy reading forensic crime

more complex- musculoskeletal injuries. However^ with the Olympic Games almost upon us, my book of choice has got to be “My Story So Par” by Paula Radcliffe.’ - ■' ■ I was lucky enough to meet Paula


last year at the Nike headquarters in Portland, Oregon, USA; The book is written as if she is sat chatting to you about her experiences^ just as we sat chatting on the lawn. It takes you through her running career, but also describes the highs and lows of an elite athlete and the very fine line between success and failure. She often refers to the close relationship with her physiotherapist and I can-


. easily relate to the physical and emo­ tional stresses she refers to, having recently worked with two runners during their intensive training for Beijing. The book culminates with the story behind Paula's traumatic


.dropout of the Athens Olympic Marathon and her determination to recover and compete at Beijing. Unfortunately, it has still not been- announced whether she will have recovered sufficiently from her latest injury, but if there is a.chance that


• she can run, she will be there.'While ,


■ there are numerous references in the book to events and athletes which „


. may be alien to readers with little knowledge of athletics, .the underly-,


. ing message is of Paula's continued determination. Anybody who reads this book will get an insight into the dedication and enormous commit-.


. ment of our Olympic athletes to. their particular sport.-


. The book isn't a gripping read, but is inspirational. The following words are engraved in stone near to Fort- Romeau where Paula trains in France: “Our greatest honour is not that we never fall down, but that we pick ourselves up again each time we k l l”, and she reminds us, “we must ■never be afraid to give all that we


jcan to go after our goals and ; dreams”.:
