MO SWAPS BIG THRILL FOR THE BIG CHILL

SIR MO FARAH admits turning his back on the adrenaline-high of track athletics is taking some getting used to.
Britain’s best-ever athlete makes his debut as a full-time road runner at tomorrow’s Big Half in London. It’s prep for his London Marathon next month – and a shock to Farah’s system. “I’ve gone from 25-degree heat in Ethiopia to sub-zero here,” said Farah, who collapsed in 2014 at the end of a half marathon after going from Kenyan heat to New York chill.
