Actually 10,000m and 10K are not the same length.
On the track, you can run exactly 10,000m.
On a certified road 10K the distance will be more than 10,000m to allow for potential measurement errors:
a. Stated distance: Courses meet certification standards if the measurements
demonstrate that the course is at least the stated distance. In order to ensure
that a course is not short, the measurement must include an addition of
1/1000th of the stated race distance;
From what I have heard, on the track it is normally referred to as the 10,000 and on the road, 10K.
Actually 10,000m and 10K are not the same length. ...
I'm glad you clarified that for all of us still using standard measurements. I knew there was a reason I never converted to metric, it doesn't make any damn sense.
dur hur, iaaf appears to make a distinction between 10-K and 10,000 meters. I agree that they are the exact same length, but one connotation refers to a road race while the other refers to 25 laps of a 400 meter track.
Right. Look at the IAAF lists.
They have a list for 10,000 m and a seperate list for 10 kilometers.
I will settle this since I'm "elite" (I assume making USATFs makes me elite in your minds, though I have never qualified for any national teams).
My peers and I tend to use 10k and 10,000 interchangeably. When most of us talk about a 10k that was not run on a track, we'll generally say "my 10k road PR is X" or "my 10k cross PR is y". But just about everyone I know refers to their 10k track PR as their 10k PR. Even for the few who have run faster on the roads, they generally say, "my 10K PR is X, but I've run Y on the roads".
Additionally, when someone says "my 10,000 PR is X" you know they are talking about the track, not the roads.
The 10,000 terminology only works for the track, but the 10k terminology works for both track and roads, with usually a qualifier to the surface.
Also, if we're talking about what event we're running at Mt Sac, for example, we'll interchangeably use "10k" with "10,000". However, more often then not, you'll actually hear "10k".
What does this amount to? Say whatever you want.

What this amounts to is that when one is truly "elite", they don't refer to themselves as such. Put your overzealousness in check and perhaps one day you'll make a national team.
this is nothing but an elaborate ruse.
every single one of you knows the one immutable law of american distance running: Teg does not run the 10K. he is not capable of doing so, even if he says he will.
that you now believe he will, merely because he says so, is merely a testament to your gullibility.
the best part about this will be if he drops out or loses a shoe and DNFs. the legend will live on.
I feel like this race will be a let down. Teg, Nelson, etc are just shooting for the A standard. Race will probably be won in 27:30ish. I hope I'm wrong and it's a barn burner, but my guess is they play it safe.

one thing is for sure: if Teg does actually run the 10K, he will not simply play it safe. the man cannot end his 10K boycott by running a pedestrian 2745.
in light of that fact, i predict that Teg will run 26:17, leading people to suspect that though it may have seemed so, he did not in fact actually run 10K.
Ahah, thanks Matt! That was awesome.
27:30 would make the winner #9 American all-time. Certainly a far cry from the epic race we saw last year... but still a darn good performance.
I think we'll see at least one runner knocking on the door for Top 5 All-Time (ie. sub-27:20).
I'd rather him run World Cross than 10K
That grin was awesome! Maybe another AR will be run...Should be a great race

Touche. I think I'm just holding ultra high expectations after last year. 27:30 would be more than solid.
This is the new Bowerman 5k fiasco. He won't run.
It should be faster than 27:30. Heard a rumour Chris Thomson from UK is trying to break the UK record before Mo puts it out of sight.....so looking at something in the region of 27:10-15 I'd guess as the record is currently 27:18.
Hopefully another great race in store this year. :-D

I never got the whole bowerman 5k thing, it was quite obvious that they were only promoting it and were not really going to run.
I say 27:09 for Teg
The big boys. Guys with no PB listed on their IAAF profiles are at the bottom.

I think we will see a new world leader in the 10000m after this race considering the world lead right now is 27:23 by Martin Mathathi. However, that all depends on what Solinsky paces for. I think Nelson is going to go for at least a PR, so hopefully we will see Chris pacing at around a 27:15...We shall see
