Garrett Heath goes for #4 vs Mo Farah: Official 2017 Great Edinburgh XC live discussion thread

Who's your pick for the win in the men's race?

The last sentence seems to have been cut short accidentally on the webpage.

Shoulda put a poll up on the preview page... would have been interesting to see the results. I'm VERY interested to see this one, to see if Mo was just not-at-his-best during the race last year, or if Garrett is truly the better XC runner between the two of them. Sorry is this is a stupid question, but has Garrett been to the World XC championships?

Heath peaks for this race. It's hard to compare him with an off season Farah.

Heath is great at XC and I wouldn't say he peaks for this. It just seems like he doesn't get better come track.

Interested to see the new-Americans mixing it up. Could be foreshadowing for a good US team at WXC.

You obviously do not know Garrett Heath.

He was training in Central Oregon last week and seemed very fit.

Good luck, Garrett!

What time is the race?

Another excuse made for Farah before he loses yet again.

It kinda ticks me off that Farah implied that Heath peaks for this race in his post-race interview last year. Like c'mon man. You know you're good. You don't have to take anything away from Heath just to try to save face after an unimportant race.

Any free stream we can get in the us ?

out side of this race, does GH do anything in the track season, XC season or road season?

Anybody know how to stream this without a runnerspace account? When does it start?

Farah doesn't loose often

Callum Hawkins will crush them both!

Also looking out for local Glasgow student James Bowness on leg 1 of the mixed relay, ranked no. 1 at 1k in the UK last year and 4th at 800m.

bbc one iplayer works with UK vpn but the platform is bad for weak/slow connection. looking for another online free stream for bbc one iplayer...

races have started. I think jr's are now and 4k senior race

As predicted Bowness gets it on leg 1!

usa small lead on leg 3 from gbr

Laura Muir crushes the field on the final leg for the win.
