Robbie, Madonna help Radcliffe back on her feet

Champion UK distance runner Paula Radcliffe has been getting ready to compete again with the help of Robbie Williams and Madonna, she revealed today.

The 32-year-old, who was forced to miss the Commonwealth Games and the London Marathon because of a foot injury, said listening to their music on her iPod had got her through the tough times in recent weeks when she had to limit her workouts to using an exercise bike.
