Mo Farah race times: When is he running in the 10,000m and 5,000m at the London 2017 World Athletics Championships?

Mo Farah is Great Britain's solitary medal holder and will begin his quest to double that haul on Wednesday.

The 34-year-old runs in the 5,000 metres heats having bagged the 10,000m title on Friday's opening night.

Farah has pointed to Uganda's Joshua Cheptegei as one of the men who could stop him bowing out with a second title defence ahead of his track retirement later this month.

He will focus on the marathon after August's Diamond League final in Zurich and will use all his cunning to go out with a bang at the London Stadium.

He said: "Experience is everything. If you've been in a situation before and done it then it's easier to deal with and that will help me massively. It's all the new ones that are a bit more scary because they are raw. They don't know what they are doing. They just go for it.

"Cheptegei is strong, he's the one coming through. If you believe you're strong enough, keep working and that will lift you and encourage you to keep going further.

"Like when I had a chance to live with the Kenyans, that's what really changed me as an athlete. You see them and you tell yourself, 'If what I am doing is not right and what they're doing is right, how are you going to beat them?'."
