I'm as much in awe of athlete Mo Farah this morning as I was when I retired to bed last night. To put it into context; not only is he now the British and European 1500m record holder, but this isn't his race, and his pre-race times were no where near this astonishing record! Even if he did (according to the Daily Telegraph) joke with Steve Cram at lunchtime that day that he might break his record for the distance)
The British 1500m Record has stood for 28 years, the European one for 16. And then along comes a Double Gold Medal winner from a significantly longer set of distances who wants to train running faster and drops down a distance. Wow, simply inspirational. I'm over weight and I'm old, but I would love to train for a day with this athlete. It wouldn't just be about physical exercise, to hit these times, it must be about mental capacity and control as well as physique.
Way to go Mo!
