Paula Radcliffe finished her final competitive race on 26 Apr, completing the London Marathon in 2 hours 36 minutes and 55 seconds.
What happened?
She was beaten by a man dressed in a Spider-Man costume, Paul Martelletti, who broke the world record for the fastest marathon dressed as a superhero.
Radcliffe started with the club runners, not the elite group, and was surrounded by a posse of runners from teams like Skegness Coasters and Milton Keynes CC.
Why it matters for Paula Radcliffe
The 41-year-old athlete had set a world marathon record in London in 2003, but this time her focus was on enjoying her last competitive race.
She spent time smiling, waving, and applauding at the crowds, and was still the first women's club runner home, finishing inside the 2hr 42min qualifying standard for the women's marathon at the Rio Olympics.
What comes next?
Radcliffe said she will continue to run, but now as a "fun runner" without the pressure of training for a race.
And she was grateful for the support of the 750,000 spectators lining the streets of London, who chanted "Come on, Paula" throughout the race.
Radcliffe's husband, Gary, and her children, Isla and Raphael, were waiting for her at the finish line, where she found out she had been beaten by Spider-Man.
Paula Radcliffe joked that her son Rafael would think it's great that Spider-Man had beaten her, and she was just happy to have completed her final competitive race.
