Mo Farah is overrated

There are many accomplished runners in history that are more accomplish than Mo, but he happens to win the races these days. Being Two-Time-Olympic-Medalist makes him a running rock star too. Since he's technically a British citizen peeps are less racist about him too.

His being overrated really comes down to the fact that every notable achievement he has, has EPO on it. But that's true for Bekele, and Geb, and El G too.

Seriously, go read the story about his European 5000i record. “I knew from Edinburgh five weeks back I needed to do some work. I had to go away [to Ethiopia] and leave my family behind and go back to real training… It’s paying off.”

In other words, go away to the wilderness, where there are no witnesses, juice up, and return a world beater.

5 weeks from getting CRUSHED by mid tier guys to setting a euro 5k record. Riiiiiiight.

He's poor at cross country, a lot better on the track because of his long strides, and in Ethiopia doing 120 miles a week including workouts I think you'd regain fitness quite quickly. There's no proof of him taking EPO so its harsh to assume he has taken it. The only reason people think he has is because of people who are on Letsrun with failed running careers so automatically believe any fast runner is on EPO.

You're either delusional or rekrunner posting on a different name!

Not on here where any runner not the GOAT should just give up

It's both!

I love this site. Mo is too slow to be one of the greats, but too fast to be clean.

He's like lance Armstrong, the best doper. If he was clean he would be 7th-10th at Olympics. Dope works.

Yeah I watched that documentary on him, and after a cross country race he looked like any other skinny distance runner, after going to Ethiopia he suddenly looked like Bruce Lee (very skinny with hard rippled muscles). This is the opposite of normal, you do weights in the off season then lose bulk closer to peak races.

The ripped muscles appearance comes from losing every millimeter of subcutaneous fat on him from running miles and miles in Ethiopia.

EPO won't do that. Weight loss drugs will.

That's what he used to be until turning 28 and starting to do... situps. Nothing to see here.

I didn't say epo, I was hinting at more than that.

It was push-ups, actually.

3/10 for OP, simple but sure hook

Anyway, if anything Mo is underrated.
