Britain`s multiple World and Olympic champion Mo Farah ended a three-year absence from the track on Friday when he broke the world record for the one hour run at the Brussels Diamond League. The 37-year-old ran 21,330 metres -- just over 53 laps -- to beat Ethiopian Haile Gebrselassie`s previous record, set in Ostrava 13 years ago, by 45 metres. The rarely-run one-hour race took place without spectators due to novel coronavirus restrictions although there was simulated crowd noise in the stadium to help the runners. Farah had retired from track in August 2017 to concentrate on road running.

The six-times world champion over 5,000 and 10,000 metres said he had been enjoying more time with his family and getting creative in training in London, with gyms closed and limits on outdoor running.

"I was really looking forward to racing the Vitality Big Half again," said Farah, a two-time winner of the event

The Jamaican sprinter limped out with a cram on his left hamstring as the team failed to finish the 4X100 metre relay.

The Jamaican is hoping to step away from the track having won his 20th global championship title, something he was denied last week when he finished third in the 100m behind American Justin Gatlin.

In Saturday`s final, he will be seeking an incredible fifth consecutive 5,000m/10,000m double at a global championships.

"I`m really looking forward to what will be my final track race in Britain at the Müller Grand Prix Birmingham on August 20, and I`m sure it will be a day I remember for the rest of my life," the 34-year-old Farah said.
