- Briton runs 21.33km in 60 minutes in Brussels
- First world record in 37-year-old Farah’s career
At an age when most athletes’ legs have started to betray them and their glory days have long faded into the rearview mirror, the 37-year-old Mo Farah was able to grind his way to the first world record of his career.
On a still night in Brussels, Farah produced his trademark late kick to claim Haile Gebrselassie’s one-hour record by 45 metres – running 21.33km. He was grimacing desperately as he powered past his training partner Bashir Abdi near the end but it proved to be Farah’s finest hour.
