Britain's European 5,000 and 10,000 metres champion Mo Farah withdrew from next month's Delhi Commonwealth Games on Friday and said he will not race on the track again this year.
"I had a great 2010 season and my body is telling me that it is time to take a break from training and racing," Farah said in a statement.
"Over the past few weeks I have been getting a few niggles, nothing serious but enough to tell me to ease back. I was looking forward to the Commonwealth Games in Delhi but after the success I had this year I am happy to call it a season."
Farah, 27, Britain's brightest long distance prospect, also broke David Moorcroft's 28-year-old British 5,000 metres record last month.
He said he would now concentrate on next year's world championships in Daegu, South Korea, and the 2012 Olympics in his home city of London.
