Mo Farah, 37, has run various different distances in his career as an athlete, from 1,500 metres to a marathon. He is one of the most successful athletes on the track as well as running the London Marathon on several occasions, so how fast can he run the 42km?
The athlete’s talent was first recognised by a physical education teacher while Mo was studying at Feltham Community College.
He later joined the Borough of Hounslow Athletics Club in West London and represented them in the London Youth Games.
Mo’s first major title was in the 5,000 metres at the European Athletics Junior Championship in 2001 and he has since won many medals.
Last year, Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge ran the second fastest marathon in history at the London Marathon.

Mo’s personal fastest marathon came from his victory at the Chicago Marathon in 2018.
He ran the marathon in just two hours, five minutes and 11 seconds, just seconds faster than his London Marathon last year.
For that race, Mo led the pack in the first eight miles before falling to a slower pace before the halfway point.
How does the athlete keep fit?
While training for the London 2012 Olympic Games, where Mo won double Olympic Gold in the 5,000m and 10,000m, Mo followed a specific training plan.
This consisted of different exercises each day, starting off Mondays with a 10 mile run in the morning and a six mile stint in the evening.
A typical Tuesday included a four mile warm up run, an eight mile tempo run, followed by another three mile cool down run.
Mo also endured another six mile run on Tuesday evenings.
On a Wednesday, Mo would run another 12 miles, followed by another five in the evening.
When training for the Olympics, he also had a very healthy diet.
According to BBC Goodfood, Mo would have cereal for breakfast and had several small plates of food during the day.
If he was to pick a lunch, it would consist of pasta or steamed vegetables.
A typical dinner would also look similar to lunch, with Mo eating pasta, steamed vegetables and chicken.
