Former world record holder Paula Radcliffe says her “body is done” with road racing.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 51-year-old secured the Six Star Medal<\/a> – which is awarded to runners who complete all six of the world marathon majors – by completing the Boston Marathon on Monday.<\/p>\n

The mum-of-two, who retired in 2015, finished Boston with a time of 2 hours 53 minutes and 44 seconds.<\/p>\n

Writing on Instagram after the race, Radcliffe says she injured her calf at the nine-mile mark and that the race was the perfect way to “sign out” from road racing. <\/p>\n

“Wow, thank you Boston,” wrote Radcliffe.<\/p>\n

“My calf went at 9 miles and I couldn’t go full out from then on, but on the plus side the foot is great and I got to savour and enjoy those Boston Marathon crowds. <\/p>\n

“That’s me signing out on the roads now! Lesson learned that my body is done with that.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
