540 - MO FARAH - 4x Olympic Gold Medalist Who Conquered More Than Just the Finish Line

In a Happy Hour FIRST, we have a Sir gracing the studio in Olympic athlete Mo Farah! From being unable to speak English and in the bottom sets in school, to winning four Olympic gold medals and smashing world records, Mo is one beast of a human being. You’ll hear about his first Olympic win, the thrill of winning the double in back-to-back Olympics, and the rollercoaster of emotions behind his iconic victories. We chat through his intense training routine, his hatred for socks and the reason he never counts calories. Plus marathon training secrets, motivation tricks and how he’s “hacked” his treadmill. Mo reacts to Jaack’s running statistics, and also officially settles the infamous Happy Hour debate of whether it counts as a marathon if it is run on a treadmill… There’s also Soccer Aid chat, his rivalry with Usain Bolt and being knighted by the Queen!
