Radcliffe ready for 10,000m bid
Paula Radcliffe wins the New York Marathon
Radcliffe returned to winning ways at the New York Marathon
Paula Radcliffe is set to opt to run in the 10,000 metres rather than the marathon at next year's World Championships in Finland.

Radcliffe's best display in the event was when she finished second in the 10,000m in Seville five years ago.

"10K will be my main aim in Helsinki," admitted Radcliffe, who may also run a marathon in the spring after her success in the New York race last week.

"But my other plans are still up in the air, so we'll have to wait and see."

The Flora London Marathon on Sunday 17 April, where Radcliffe set her world record time 19 months ago, is an option for the 30 year old.

But she could instead opt to run in the Boston Marathon which takes place 24 hours later.

Radcliffe has also revealed that she is eager to compete in the next Olympics in Beijing in 2008.

"I was always going to the Olympics there and it looks like being the marathon," she said.
