Endurance Noise & Random MusingsWho will hit the Olympic 10k standard at The TEN?Big question: Who will hit the Olympic 10,000m standard? This is what it’s all about. This meet, organized by Sound Running, consists of just two races, both featuring small elite fields targeting the Olympic standards of 27:28.00 (men) and 31:25.00 (women). Currently, just three American men (Lopez Lomong, Eric Jenkins, and Shadrack Kipchirchir) and nine American women have the standard. And while it is possible to qualify for the Olympics based off your world ranking, your position is a heck of a lot safer with the standard in your back pocket. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFe2...
