Is 118 too light? What's the weight for most of the top guys in the world?
"Word before yesterday’s race was that Mo had dropped about four pounds in body weight – down to 118 lbs.now — as he increased his mileage during his three month stint in Iten, Kenya in preparation for London."

Gross. Distance runners aren't real athletes.
I agree, that is disgusting. What happened to our American values? A real American man is supposed to have broad shoulders, a wide back and a massive chest. Mo Farah has none of these attributes.
How his wife hasn't left him yet is beyond me.
It doesn't surprise me all that much that he's just 118 pounds. He's not that tall, and not only is he lean but he's narrow. But a four-pound loss for a guy who was already winning Olympic and Worlds 10,000s is pretty significant, even if the demands of marathon training are different.

Maybe she loves him?
No wonder he is too frail to run without falling.
Um, hey douche, Mo isn't an American.

And I thought 125 pounds at 5'9 was too skinny...118 pounds...it's like most of his muscle atrophied away during training. Which is to be expected, but damn...

Yes and with that frame, I doubt he ever will. That's my point.
A real merican should have a big ol gut. And a real merican wummin should have a muffin top and and a Coupe de Ville trunk.

From the list above, it looks like Farah is right where he needs to be.
some sort of new fat busting peptides and thyroid
loss of weight without loss of power for performance gain

http://volaresports.nl/athletes/wilson-kipsangI'm 118 pounds also, although I'm 5'8. He looks much more gangley than I do despite that he is only an inch taller.

It seems like Americans never got that memo.
How can his wife leave him if he's never home?
as long as his arms are big enough to spike the oregon juice

How does that list show he's right where he needs to be? Those guys are heavier than Farah per inch.
He could double as a javelin throwee

The point is he is what he is, an ectomorph, and you are what you are, an idiot.
Ectomorph
An ectomorph is a typical skinny guy. Ecto’s have a light build with small joints and lean muscle. Usually ectomorph’s have long thin limbs with stringy muscles. Shoulders tend to be thin with little width.
Typical traits of an ectomorph:
• Small “delicate” frame and bone structure
• Classic “hardgainer”
• Flat chest
• Small shoulders
• Thin
• Lean muscle mass
• Finds it hard to gain weight
• Fast metabolism
Generally, ectomorphs can lose fat very easily which makes cutting back to lean muscle easier for them.
Getting sickly lean is the real benefit of thyroid meds:
