Remember, when Priscah Jeptoo won this race a few years ago her last two miles were absolutely phenomenal.
Kenya's Jeptoo won the Great North Run in 2013.

Poor David Rudisha, double 800m Olympic champion, has been stood at the start line giving out high fives for at least half an hour now. I reckon if he keeps that up he'll be in line for a wrist injury.
They're still setting off in the mass participation event as the women's race comes into the final stages. We'll be taking a greater look at that once the elite races finish, so stay tuned.

From parkrun, external to Mo Farah, weekend fitness to Olympic medals, Britain's running has come on leaps and bounds in recent years.

Mo is enjoying himself out there, comfortably settled in place to take his third Great North Run title, with Ritzenhein now dropping off the front as 10k is ticked off in 28 minutes 32 seconds.
He very nearly didn't make it to the start line however...

Kenyan compatriots Jeptoo and Cheruiyot are working together to stretch a telling lead out over Tirunesh Dibaba now, who will have to do all the legwork on her own to close that gap.

Joyce Chepkirui had been looking strong in the early stages of the women's race, but she's now dropped off, leaving Dibaba, Cheruiyot and Jeptoo at the front.
Similarly, three men have stretched a lead, with Farah, Ritzenhein and Emmanuel Bett streaking clear of the rest of the field.

Watch the end of the Great North Run wheelchair race
Mark Telford has won the elite wheelchair race, pipping Bret Crossley at the line after the latter came on strong in the final stages.

They've picked it up to such an extent that Dibaba is definitely struggling now, this is really quick running.
Tirunesh Dibaba has been with the front group throughout, but has been lagging at the back, with the BBC commentary team in disagreement as to whether she's being canny or genuinely in trouble.

If you're looking to get fit, there's no better place to start than running. It's free, you can do it anywhere and there's no pressure to go any faster than what feels comfortable to you.

They know Mo has come through the physical and mental tribulations of the Olympics, they both respect him greatly but they know that he’s human and that he can tire, so setting off fast is exactly what they should do.

So, all the key figures are in the front group in the women's race, favourites Chiruiyot and Dibaba joined by Priscah Jeptoo and Joyce Chepkirui.
In the men's race, Mo is happily settled in the front group, with USA's Dathan Ritzenhein leading them out at a fair lick.

I’ll tell you what, Mo’s ears will be sore if he carries on running at the side of the track like that. Those fans are roaring!

I think she looks comfortable, I think she’s just keeping her powder dry and letting the others lead out at this point.

I bet a lot of people are going to go home tonight and say “I raced Mo Farah today. I let him win though…”

Vivian Cheruiyot is beginning to apply a little pressure in her first half-marathon, and it looks like Tirunesh Dibaba is just struggling a little bit. It looks like some significant moves are taking place already.

And here is the great man, looking lithe and relaxed.
He will be setting off in just four minutes.
