Weights & Strength Training | How to Win Like Mo | Mo Farah (2020)

A lot of you are asking me for some advice on weight training. In this video, I show you a few simple exercises I do to help with conditioning and strength. It's not a lot. I keep it down to three reps and just three or four sets per gym session, but it’s definitely vital to my preparation. Keep the comments coming, thanks for watching and I hope you all enjoy! All footage filmed at St. Mary's University, London.

Lol ppl are so confused in the comments. He's not trying to build muscle. For distance running athletes like him, gym sessions are only supplemental to avoid imbalances and improve mobility. It's not about putting on insane weight and tiring your legs that it becomes impossible to run the next day.

[highperformancebodywork]

very light weights, and not too many reps.. you can tell this is just a supplementary training for him and hes not trying to fatigue his legs a great deal to compromise his training

Full day of eating would be amazing or what you normally eat

Thank you mo, you made me so much more confident in my running

Hey Mr. Farah, I was wondering if you would be able to make a video about your nutrition and what you eat and put in in the “How to Win Like Mo” series. I’m a tri-athlete, but I’m strongest with running, and you truly inspire me to keep going and don’t stop!

I used to lean back with dumbbells the same way but I never dropped them. I would flex my hips to bring the knees to my chest, set the dumbbells back on them and then rock forward. The momentum bought me back to a sitting position with the weights on my knees again.
I don’t know who is selecting the music but it started giving me a headache! He’s more of a jazzy kinda guy. Please change the “music”. Excellent workout exposure. Thanks Mo.

Hey Mo! Nice video, how does you switch up your weight program based on when you are in offseason vs in season?
