He completed the course in one hour three minutes and 28 seconds.
The race brought down the curtain on a glittering career for Farah, who finishes with four Olympic gold medals and six World Championship titles, but he insists he “just enjoyed” what he did.
“It’s a joy to see that because I just enjoyed what I did and I committed and continued to push myself to win medals again and again. Farah is a six-time champion of the Great North Run, with his last victory coming in 2019 on the streets of Tyneside. “I was trying to enjoy as much as I could, to take it all in, but I took it as just like another race. But honestly, just the support of the people along the course was just wow.“I was trying to hold it back and get on with the race and give it a go.“Honestly the people on the course was incredible, big support, ringing the bell, shouting out your name. I can’t believe the amount of people who turned up.
