ONE MO RECORD FOR FARAH

More than six seconds slashed off British 3,000m indoor record

ONE TO ME - Mo Farah hails his latest record-breaking run

21/02/2009

MO FARAH slashed more than six seconds off his British 3,000metres indoor record yesterday.

Farah brought the action at the Aviva Grand Prix in Birmingham to a close with a run of 7min 34.47 sec at the National Indoor Arena.

That was 6.52sec quicker than Farah, 25, ran last month.

And the Somalia-born star admitted it was now time for him to deliver when it matters - starting with next month's European Indoor Championships in Turin.

Shape

He said: "I knew I was in great shape and wanted to go under 7:40. I'm really pleased. I'll go out to Turin and give it 110 per cent."

SIMEON WILLIAMSON effectively sealed his place on the British team for Turin, winning the 60m in a new personal best of 6.53sec.
