Mo Farah returns to winning ways in London half-marathon
The HinduBritish distance great Mo Farah found himself top of the podium again with a third victory in the ‘Big Half’ -- a London half-marathon -- on Sunday. Farah’s win, a month ahead of the London Marathon proper, followed the four-time Olympic champion’s shock defeat by club runner Ellis Cross in a 10 kilometre race in London in May. “It was to play around with things, pick up my drink and all practice ahead of the London Marathon.” Scotland’s Commonwealth Games gold medallist Eilish McColgan won 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. McColgan suffered an adverse reaction while refuelling during long-distance races and has been diagnosed with rebound hypoglycemia -- a condition affecting endurance athletes that leads to reduced blood sugar levels and means there is not enough glucose in the blood to meet the body’s demands.
