The Virgin Money London Marathon took place today and despite many people rooting for Olympic hero-Mo Farah who was having his first marathon experience, he placed 8th.
Kenyan world record holder Wilson Kipsang won this year’s Virgin Money London Marathon title as he finished the race on a time mark of hours, four minutes and 29 seconds.
The people’s favourite-Mo Farah who placed 8th was 4 minutes behind the winner. At least, he managed to break the English record held by Charlie Spedding at 2:08:33—a little consolation for him.
Mo Farah admitted he was ‘disappointed’ with his run and said it had been ‘pretty tough’ for him.
