Ben True setting AR for 5k, photo by PhotoRun.net
Ben True just set the AR at the BAA 5k with his 13:22! The Shoe Addicts and RunBlogRun interviewed a thoughtful Ben True the day before the race, at the BAA 5k and One Mile presser.
Ben True is a 13:02 5000m guy who can run 12:55. He is in a quandary: should he run the 5000m or 10,000m at Payton Jordan. I think he is in 27:15-20 shape for 10,000m.
Ben True is training on his own, an adjustment when his buddy, Sam Chelanga moved to Coach Li. But, he looked great and his interview showed some confidence.
The BAA 5k should give him some confidence as he looks to Payton Jordan the first weekend of May.
