He is nowhere near 27:14 shape. He ran 13:13 on the cheater track. He can't do 13:37 twice on an outdoor track. Chelanga ran a 27:08
27:30's is more realistic, I'm not sure why so many people are downvoting the fact that 27:14 isn't very realistic. The stars would have to align for that. Kincaid and Klecker ran 20 seconds faster for the indoor 5k than he did (12:51/12:54). They ran 27:07 ish trying to hit a big time, so extrapolate a 20 second gap and you're looking at 27:40's, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say 27:30. Some other guys with 13:10 ish PRs are running 27:20's, so that is also evidence that 27:14 is a little too quick for a 13:14 guy.
I don't know if it's worth it for us to compare his indoor 5k to Klecker and Kincaid's 20 second faster indoor 5k, given that he ran it way earlier in the season. But also didn't Kincaid reference that he has worked out with the NAU guys since he is training under Mike Smith this winter? If Bosley and Kincaid have done some workouts together, maybe he is able to make a more informed comparison of his fitness to Woody's, and believe that soon he can run roughly 10 seconds slower than he did at Sound Running.
Curious if he may also chase a fast 5k at Sound. Last year Drew, Nico, and Abdi all ran 3:3x then cruised a 13:42 the same day at Brian Clay/Mt. SAC, since Sound wasn't an NCAA qualifying meet, so they needed to get a Regional mark. It would seem this could provide similar flexibility.

This is an accurate quote. Not 100%, but pretty darn close. I would say that a sub 13:10 or better yet, a sub 13:05 guy is in the 27:10-27:15 10k range. You also have to understand that 5 seconds at this pace is a lot, you can't just throw these numbers around like it no big deal.

Ok sure, but why be confident that Bosley’s not a sub-13:10 guy? That 13:13 was ONE fast race in early December. It’s entirely possible that he knows he didn’t run as fast as he’s capable of in that particular race (for any number of reasons) and/or that he’s fitter now 3.5 months later.
It is possible that Drew Bosley ran both the 5k and 3k at NCAAs because he was trying to score points for his team in multiple events. As for why he ran another 5000 a week later, there could be a variety of reasons, such as trying to improve his personal best time or qualifying for another competition. It is also possible that he and his coach had a specific training plan in place that called for him to compete in multiple events. Without more information, it's difficult to determine the exact reason.

It’s so weird that we now get posts that are likely computer generated.
It always surprises me more guys don’t go out and run a December indoor race and March outdoor race to get a mark while in peak shape before taking a little down time or whatever they do. Also insurance if you get a minor injury in season, you can hold off on racing for a long time

Yep. The BU season opener 5K is pretty much a must go now. 8 of the top 10 at NCAA XC were there this year.
