The news offers encouragement for Britain that Radcliffe will be fit to run in the women's marathon in Beijing next month.

Radcliffe's agent Sian Masterson said: "She is going to head there in the next week, depending on what day they decide to leave their training base at the moment."

Radcliffe, whose fitness fight could go down to the wire, has been training at high intensity in the past fortnight as she recovers from a stress fracture of the femur.

The marathon world record-holder returned to her training base in the French Pyrenees after an MRI scan a fortnight ago revealed she was recovering well.

UK Athletics are prepared to allow Radcliffe as much time as possible to decide whether to compete in Beijing, and the latest news suggests she could be on the start line.

Radcliffe is determined to make the event in order to make amends for her Olympic heartache four years ago, when she pulled out of both marathon and 10,000 metres.

Meanwhile, Hayley Haining remains on standby to run in the marathon on August 17, alongside Liz Yelling and Mara Yamauchi, should Radcliffe fail to make it.
