Three-time London Marathon champion Paula Radcliffe has opened up about the experience of going through the perimenopause while competing at the Tokyo Marathon.

Paula Radcliffe Net Worth: Age, Origin, Husband, Marathon World Record, Doping Allegations, How Rich She Is in 2025?
Paula Radcliffe was a dominant force during her time. Here is everything you need to know.
Asked about the differences compared to running during her competitive career, Radcliffe said: "It's very different. Not only the effects of perimenopause and managing the fatigue and fluctuations that come with that, energy and muscle recovery wise."
The former world champion in the marathon, half marathon and cross country said it is hard to juggle now unlike when she was an active athlete. "When the children were smaller it was a little bit easier. There are lots of things to juggle now and it's no longer my career, now it's a hobby like lots of people. I really take my hat off to everyone who juggles the training with a career, and family life around that, because it's a different way - but it makes the achievement when you cross that finish line a little bit sweeter."

Menopause typically occurs around the age of 51 but for some it can happen earlier, signalling the end of a woman's reproductive years. Radcliffe, who gave birth to her first child in 2007 and her second in 2010, is aiming to complete the six major marathons by running in Boston next month. She ran London, New York, Chicago and Berlin during her career, before competing in Tokyo last week.
Radcliffe was previously the fastest female marathoner of all time, and held the Women's World Marathon Record with a time of 2:15:25 for 16 years from 2003 to 2019 when it was broken by Brigid Kosgei. She represented Great Britain at the Olympics in four consecutive games (1996 to 2008), although she never won an Olympic medal.
In 2010, she was inducted into the England Athletics Hall of Fame and a year later, she was inducted into the Loughborough University Hall of Fame.
