It won't be my last race but in terms of marathon, the London Marathon will be my last," Farah told reporters."I started the mini-marathon here, so for me, it will be quite emotional.

I remember (when I was) 14-years-old, I was here watching great athletes running on the Sunday and I was here taking part in the mini-marathon."The support, the people coming out in London, I think that will get to me but I will try not think about it and run.
