ATHLETICS NEWS - Whether months of 120 miles-a-week altitude training will be enough to transform Mo Farah into a world-class marathon runner will be revealed on the streets of London on Sunday but the switch already seems to have transformed his state of mind.
Farah has endured a prickly relationship with the media, suing one British journalist this year for repeating IAAF concerns over his blood passport values, but he seemed a changed man as he looked ahead to Sunday's London Marathon.
"I'm more relaxed, the change from track has given me a massive boost and I'm enjoying it more than ever," he told a news conference on Tuesday two hours after arriving from Ethiopia.
