Lowest ever handicap score for Mo!

Around 57.000 took part in the Morrisons Great North Run on Sunday. After the starting pistol was fired by Jo Pavey (handicap -0.4), the runners were treated to a fly-over from the Red Arrows as they crossed the Tyne Bridge on their way from Newcastle to South Shields in warm and sunny conditions but the heat was no barrier to Mo Farah (handicap -8.0) who went on to win in fine style and reduce his handicap score to the lowest ever recorded with a magical -8.0.
