Sir Mo Farah has confirmed he will end his professional career after September’s Great North Run.
The four-time Olympic champion honestly admitted that his body was beginning to let him down after completing his final ever London Marathon. Farah finished in two hours, ten minutes and eight seconds securing a top-10 finish in the process.
But after claiming he was aiming for a significantly quicker time, the 40-year-old revealed that his legendary career is now firmly on the home straight. "London has been so great to me over the years and I wanted to be here to say thank you to the crowd and the support that was just amazing,” he told the BBC.
