A runner taking part in the Great North Run has died, the event’s organisers have confirmed.
Such a decision would heap pressure on Farah to end his own relationship with Salazar, but he says nothing has changed regarding loyalty to his coach.
“I want to come back and see if I can do a hat-trick”.
Our photographers were there for every stage of the weekend, and we’ve pulled together a gallery which showcases the very best moments of the 2015 Great North Run celebrations.
The burst briefly earned the Kenyan a five-metre lead, but Farah rapidly closed the gap.
This time around he was pushed all the way by Biwott, who finished one second behind him.
World and Olympic champion Mo Farah has won the Great North Run for the second consecutive year after beating Stanley Biwott in a close finish.
To many observers Kigen had appeared reluctant to increase his benefit over Farah within the closing levels of that race however, regardless of admitting that the 2 of them had labored collectively in the course of the race, Farah laughed off ideas that the Kenyan had slowed at any level. “If it wasn’t for the crowd edging me towards the end it definitely would have been a different result”.
Keitany, unbeaten in her previous 11 half marathons since 2009, didn’t even wait till the primary mile marker earlier than ditching her rivals and operating virtually the whole race alone to take victory in 1hr 7min 32sec.

But Mo was just one of more than 50,000 who took part in today’s event, the biggest of its kind in the world.
