Why I run... Mo Farah

"I first realised I loved running when my school P.E teacher entered me into a cross country race for the first time and I finished 2nd. I didn't find the race difficult at all and thought to myself 'I could be good at this!'. Myself and a group of aspiring young athletes were taken on a trip to a training camp in Orlando, Florida. It was an amazing experience and that's when I decided I wanted to be able to go on more trips like that one".
