It's Mo Farah's birthday today.

Maybe that's why he was so eager to finish the Lisbon half marathon as quick as he could. So quick that he set a new record to become the first British athlete to complete the 13.1-mile distance in under 60 minutes. In the time it takes to bake a birthday cake (JOE has never baked, so we are just guessing) double Olympic champion Mo had crossed the finish line and probably had his feet up with a cup of tea. It took the 32-year-old just 59 minutes and 32 seconds to run the race. Here's Boris Johnson doing a little MoBot to celebrate... boris johnson animated GIF
