Mo Farah Not Yet Ready to Race Post-LondonPublished by
Farah Withdraws from Bupa London 10,000mPublished by Athletics Weekly on May 22, 2014 Mo Farah has withdrawn from Sunday’s Bupa London 10,000 as he is not yet race-ready following his marathon debut in London. The double world and Olympic track champion had been eyeing a sixth consecutive title on the streets of the capital but will now just attend the event as a guest. The 10km outing was to be Farah’s first race since he made his debut over 26.2 miles at the Virgin Money London Marathon on April 13 where he broke the English record with 2:08:21 for eighth place. “Mo has decided not to compete in the Bupa London 10,000 because he is not yet ready to race after the London Marathon,” explained Farah’s agent, Ricky Simms. “He took a few weeks off training, went on holiday, and just resumed jogging 10 days ago. “He looks forward to being a guest at the event,” added Simms, with Farah due to undertake official starter duties for the 10km event as well as the senior men’s and women’s races at the Bupa Westminster Mile event the day before.
