If he wants to prove he can mix it with Cheptegei and Kiplimo in Tokyo he needs a big performance. Does he need to go sub-59 or just 59 low? Its a flat course abd conditions look good
What does Farah have to do at the Antrim HM to prove he's back?

Mohammed Farah just does not want to race slower than 63 minutes. Since 1972, Olympic gold, 10000m requires sub-1:56 final 800m or have enough speed and stamina for a sub-1:56 final 800m. No extremely fast time at a road race proves said skill.

if he has pacers to 10k then I wouldn't be impressed unless he was under 59:20. No pacers at all and it's unlikely he tries very hard at any point.
If it's well-paced and the course is fast, with good weather, he really needs to be under 59:00 or at least breaking his aided Great North Run PB -

No pacers and he sits on marc scott to kick away the last 160m. -
But there's no point to him doing that is there? If he sits on Scott or Scullion and pulls away for a 60:xx then it's no better than a hard workout for him. He has to be aiming for something other than a win in a national-level road race.
FWIW, I think he goes for 59 low and gets an official time that beats his GNR time -
You mean his breaking Gebs(one of the all time GOATS) hour run WR doesn’t prove he’s back??? Moran.

No point in him running in a manner that gives him the best chance to win? Yeah I’m going to disagree. -

Looks like he is asking for pacers! -
How many hours until he starts?
-
I think it starts in an hour.

Yep—and this seems like the real live feed.

Too close turnaround from the hour...
-
Who leads?
-
What a boring pointless race for a multiple Olympic and World champion.
-
Mo and Marc Scott just broke clear @ 52'
-
Looks like Scott, and Farah are right together as of ~53:45 into the race. Scott might be slightly ahead from what I can see.
-
12M 55.56
-
Farah is clear.
