Mo Farah has revealed his daily training routine for the Tokyo Olympics, in which he plans to defend his 10,000m title.
In an interview on
The Joe Wicks Podcast, Farah said that on a typical day, he’ll have a little toast for breakfast, before going out for a 10- or 12-mile run between 9am and 9.30am. When he has come back and showered, he might answer a few emails before taking a nap. In the afternoon, he’ll go for a light jog, covering five or six miles. In total he will usually run 17-18 miles each day, apart from Sundays, when he will often do a 20-mile run.

Sarah Lavin and Sean Tobin have set lifetime bests on day two of the European Indoor Athletics Championships in Poland, with both promising potentially more to come in Torun.
Clonmel AC and Dublin Track Club star Tobin clocked a new mark of 7 minutes, 47.71 seconds in coming fifth in his 3000m semi-final, only being a second off winner Andrew Butchart of Britain (7:46.46) in a blanket finish.
Tobin had stayed close to the front throughout, looking very comfortable around fifth place and was never out of touch with the lead, with the first three qualifying automatically for tomorrow’s final, along with the next three fastest losers.

Consider this as notice served by Dina Asher-Smith to the world’s leading sprinters. Three years after last competing indoors and 15 months since an international race of any sort, Asher-Smith delivered an emphatic warning of what might come in this Olympic year when narrowly missing the British 60 metres record in her comeback race on Friday night. Rustiness? What rustiness?
With victory at the World Athletics Indoor Tour meet in Karlsruhe expected, it was to the clock that eyes turned for an idea of what kind of shape Asher-Smith is in after an extended pandemic-enforced training stint that wrote off the entirety of 2020.
