Mo Farah breaks European Half-Marathon record in Lisbon
Congratulations to Mo Farah who has won the Lisbon half-marathon in a new European record time of 59 minutes 32 seconds ahead of Kenya's Micah Kogo.
This comes on the back of his only world record - the two-mile indoor mark he set at the Birmingham Grand Prix last month:

Oh, to have been in sunny Lisbon to capture it, but instead was shooting this morning at an overcast and decidedly chilly Woodburn Road stadium in Sheffield #gottalovethesport
All the best for a great season Mo - hope to catch you again at the Anniversary Games in London.
