Mo Farah started off his athletics career in 1997 when he competed in the 3000m at Bedford in Britain and won.

Four-time Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah might be competing in his last marathon in London on Sunday, April 23.

Mo Farah revealed that his body ‘is not allowing him’ to continue with the tough training in preparation for the marathons.

The 40-year-old revealed that for the last two years, his body has not been allowing him to do what is needed as far as training is concerned.

“My body is not allowing me and I think Sunday will be my last marathon but definitely not my last race. I’m just being realistic.

As an athlete, I’ve always wanted to go out there and do the best. For the last two years, mu body hasn’t been allowing me to train effectively and that has been the hardest thing,” he said.

The six-time world champion revealed that he is not certain whether he will even compete in the full marathon but he is certain he will have to cross the finish line in the event he will participate in.

He recalled how last year was a tough period for him as he even missed last year’s edition of the event. He termed the exit as an emotional moment considering he started following the London Marathon about 14 years ago.
