Read our privacy policy Sir Mo Farah enjoyed a timely return to form ahead of next month’s London Marathon with a third victory in the Big Half. Scotland’s Commonwealth Games gold medallist Eilish McColgan claimed victory in the elite women’s race with a record time of 67.34 minutes but unlike Farah she will not be competing in the London Marathon after it was announced on Friday she had withdrawn due to a medical issue. His winning margin was slower than his 2018 and 2019 victories but provided the British athlete with a confidence booster ahead of taking on next month’s London Marathon. It was cool to come here and get a race on the streets of London, half the distance so hopefully in April we can go the full way.” David Weir warmed up for what will be a 23rd consecutive London Marathon with a record time of 47.18 minutes on his way to triumphing in the men’s wheelchair race.
