THERE IS NO doubting the fact that Mo Farah is now regarded as one of the greatest British distance runners of all time.
The current European and world Champion at the 10,000m, as well as being the current European Champion and second in the world at 5,000m says it all.
The upcoming London Olympics seem to be set up for him to reach the pinnacle of his career, “It is something that everyone has been talking about for many years and now that it is finally round the corner it is very exciting,” Farah told TheScore.
“I am aiming to add to my medal collection in London but am aware that the competition will be very tough. I am confident but can’t take anything for granted.
“Preparations are going very well. I trained well this winter and still have four months to go. I normally train in the mornings and evenings. In between I try to rest, refuel and get treatment to keep my body in one piece. I eat a healthy diet but when I run over 100 miles per week I burn a lot of calories so can eat pretty much whatever I like.
“Last year was great for me winning a gold and silver in the World Championships. I would love to get on the podium in London. If I can win the gold in front of my home crowd it will be very special. I don’t expect any world record performances in the Olympic Games in the men’s long distance races – they are usually tactical affairs.’’
