Mo Farah aiming for marathons after 2017 world champs
Mo Farah has said his future lies in competing in the marathon after the London 2017 world athletics championships.
βNext year, Iβll give it a go, 2017 world championships and then after that weβll decide what I want to do. I think I want to continue to see what I can do on the road in the marathon. Thatβs my aim," Farah told 5 live Sport.
β2017, Iβd like to end it on the track, and then after that weβll go on and see what I can do in the marathon.
βWe just have to take one year at a time. In long distance, you canβt plan too far ahead. You canβt rule it (competing in the marathon at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics) out,β he added.
Farah won his fourth Olympic gold as he became only the second man to retain the 5,000m and 10,000m titles. The 33-year-old triumphed in the 5,000m final in Rio to extend his tally as Britain's most successful Olympic track and field athlete of all time.
