Other articles with that tag include one on Mo Farah being unable to complete an out and back training run because he forgot to turn around, and Galen Rupp collapsing during training because he didn't hear Salazar telling him to keep breathing. Also Wilson Kipsang faces angry Kenyan officials after winning in Berlin and breaking their official policy to allow Farah to win every race, and US athletes are asked to stop taking drugs during the government shutdown.

I believed it for a second then realised Saw an amazing XC taking place on Beachy Head yesterday (in the crazy stinging rain and huge winds). Proper amazing XC course. Would love to have courses like that in Surrey!
