If You're Heading To The Marathon This Weekend, Here's What You Need To Know About That DLR Strike

Farah, who has spent the past three months in Ethiopia, says he feels revitalised and relaxed under his new coach Gary Lough and, surprisingly, believes he has the ability to run 2:03 - not far off the world record of 2:02.57 - once he has adapted to the uniquely punishing demands of the marathon.

"The aim is to go after the British record for sure but, at the same time, in my mind since 2014 until now I've learned more and understand a lot more". The team at the London Marathon have put together an wonderful field with guys like Eliud Kipchoge and Daniel Wanjiru.

Mo Farah believes he can compete with the very best during Sunday's London Marathon despite failing to deliver during his first attempt at 26.2 miles in 2014.

The 35-year old will target Steve Jones's record of 2:07:13, set in 1985, when he takes on the 42.195-kilometer challenge for the second time.

The 35-year-old will face competition from the likes of Eliud Kipchoge, the Olympic marathon champion, and Daniel Wanjiru, the victor of last year's London Marathon, but said he will try to match the main contenders even if they run at a world-record pace.

"On the track I've won most of the medals I could win so each year to motivate yourself gets more hard".

"This is the biggest race", said Farah. When I ran the marathon in 2014 I had to think about saving energy for the track but this year I've gone hard at it'.

"A win would be awesome for me but obviously this is going to be different". "There isn't much pressure on me".

"But as an athlete you have to set yourself new challenges".

Farah has previously said the split had nothing to do with accusations that Salazar bent and abused anti-doping rules and was because he wanted to return to England where he is now coached by Gary Lough, the husband and former coach of women's marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe.

Certainly Farah appeared more relaxed than previous year where barely a press conference went by without him having to fend off questions about his former coach Alberto Salazar, who is still under investigation by the US Anti-Doping Agency. "I'm enjoying my running now more than ever".

"I will give it 110 percent, but a lot of things can happen in a marathon and things change quickly, so you never know what will happen". Every race I go into, I go into it to fight and go for the podium. "It's going to be an incredible race".
