Mo Farah eased to victory at the Great North CityGames
Mo Farah rounded off his spectacular season by coasting to victory in the two-mile event at the Great North CityGames on the quayside in Gateshead.
The double Olympic gold medallist stalked Australian Collis Birmingham through the first section of the race, before bursting to the front over the Swing Bridge and crossing the line in a winning time of eight minutes 40.04 seconds.
"It was tough. It hasn't been easy getting everything done but the Olympics is done and this was to enjoy and run for the home crowd, and it was amazing," Farah told the BBC. "Now I will just have a rest and spend time with my family and look after my little girls. I can have fun and eat what I like."
