Marathon world-record holder Paula Radcliffe is back training less than five weeks after giving birth. She plans to compete at the world championships in August.
Radcliffe, who gave birth to daughter Isla on Jan. 17, joined her husband and coach, Gary Lough, in Boulder for a training camp last week.
Radcliffe said a June comeback was still planned – most likely a road race. She plans to run the marathon or 10,000 meters at the Aug. 25-Sept. 2 world championships in Osaka, Japan.
Radcliffe said she is running about 40 to 50 miles a week – about a third of her normal training program – and is only 4 pounds over her normal weight. She’s also doing cross-training on a nordic ski machine.
