The Somalia-born British runner Farah, who is the International Event Ambassador of the prestigious World Athletics Gold Label event in Mumbai, has recorded the 5,000m and 10,000m double at successive Olympics and World Championships. He also knows a thing or two about marathon running, having won the Chicago Marathon in 2018 and bagged bronze at the London Marathon the same year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cJust break it down each mile. That is how I broke it down. I always told myself, get through this mile, and then the next, and then the next one. At the London Marathon, I was struggling from the get-go, it was going to be a tough day, but I wasn\u2019t thinking I\u2019ve got 42K to go, I was thinking get through each mile, break it down. And then once I got past halfway, I was like I\u2019ve done more than half, so I\u2019m good,\u201d he said at a news conference on Friday ahead of the Mumbai Marathon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The USD 389,524 prize money race will see an impressive line-up of global and domestic elite runners, including Ethiopia\u2019s defending men\u2019s and women\u2019s champions Hale Lemi Berhanu and Aberash Minsewo.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The race will also see a record total of 63,000 participants across six different categories: marathon, half marathon, open 10K, Senior Citizens Run, Champions with Disabilities, and Dream Run, and Farah\u2019s presence is bound to be an inspiration.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe all have role models growing up, whether it\u2019s parents or athletes\u2026If I can give back to youngsters, one piece of advice to inspire them would be to enjoy the journey, be willing to make mistakes, and learn from them. If you haven\u2019t made mistakes, if you haven\u2019t lost any race, how will you learn? It\u2019s important to have that journey,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
