Farah is running 140 miles a week. He is going to be training there for three months.

Mo Farah said: “It’s going to be one of the hardest races of my life, harder than London 2012, harder than world championships in Moscow. This is different I have never raced the marathon. These guys are the best and know they can do it. I am still learning.”
