Sir Mo Farah’s coach has hinted the 35-year-old could be tempted by a return to the track at next year’s World Championships.
The four-time Olympic champion won his first major marathon title in Chicago on Sunday, setting a new European record of two hours five minutes and 11 seconds. He has turned his attention to road racing after calling time on his track career last year.
But his coach Gary Lough was quoted as saying by several national newspapers: “I think he will sit down with a few of us and look at his general plan for next year. “He really wants to run the World Championships, but what he runs at the World Championships hasn’t been decided.”
Next year’s Worlds take place in Doha in the autumn and the marathon would be the only road race available there to Farah, who in the build-up to the race in Chicago declared his intention to compete in the marathon at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Lough added: “He might change things up a bit next year and surprise a few people, so we will see.”
