Farah has every chance of being a serious contender in London. A time of 2hr 4min 59sec would put him in the top 40 all-time list; 2hr 04min 45sec would drop him inside the top 20; 2hr 04min 15sec is all-time top-10 standard.
He certainly looked in fantastic shape in Kenya, and more relaxed than I have ever seen him. He has come a long way since he first travelled to Iten in 2008. Back then he was an athlete with promise but no more. These days it is not so much Running With The Kenyans, as Adharanand Finn's award-winning book put it, but blasting past them.
If Farah does manage to win London it will be his greatest triumph. Yet it won't be his alone, as he himself will no doubt recognise, but that of his wife and children too.
