Chris Derrick runs 27:38.69 in Japan, Race is dominated by 3:28 man Ronald Kwemoi in 27:33!

Incredibly promising result from Derrick. Not far off his PR. Based on his 13:08 5,000m PR he is certainly due for a big PR in the 10,000m. I'm a big CD fan, and hope that he can stay healthy to bounce back and make the world championship team in 2017. Staying healthy is the big key.

HE'S BACK BABY!

How long until the foolish group of know it alls want him to run a marathon?
Letsrun is a funny place. -
nice!!
-
He looked relaxed!

Here is where Brett Larner does not know his audience, does not even mention Chris Derrick's participation in the write-up, just as a starter. http://japanrunningnews.blogspot.com/2016/11/a-double-dose-of-10000-m-hachioji-and.html

1- who won?
2 - was this on the road? -
1. Ronald kwemoi
2. no -
Great result for him!! Weird time of year but he doesn't have to chase the standard for London now, which is great. I'm assuming he will run USA XC to try to make the world team- with this shape he should probably win USA's, as he has always been a strong xc runner.
Great to see this from him! And funny because he was mentioned (including by me) in the sponsorship thread. -
Atta boy. Glad to see this.
-
nice race for him. to get the 10000m standard now means no chasing in the spring in a race where you don't want to do too many of them on the track. and he will clearly be in excellent shape for xc. I hope he goes to world's in xc. It is in Kampala, Uganda on March 26, 2017. When world xc was run in Mombasa, very few top westerners chose to run.

Good job to Chris Derrick. Ran a 27:38 to get 3rd at a Japanese meet. Hopefully he can take this momentum and put some solid times down this year. Could he go low 27 this year?
-
He'll get injured in the early spring and ruin his season again

You are a sourpuss type troll. It is the second post on this thread and you are all negative on Chris Derrick. He just ran a great 10K.
There are also lots of ghastly negative anti-Britexit female posts on the fantastic female Britexit women Paula Radcliffe and Tania (tiger-kittenâ„¢) Farah on this board.
Why? -

Based on history, this is actually a fairly safe prediction. He hasn't been 100% healthy as a professional, why start now?? -
He might be healthy right now…which is why he can now run a 27:38 10K. Wait a second. Do we have any evidence or link that this 27:38 10K happened?
Where is the link?
Do I have to go look for it?

Yes. I had to go look for it. There were 10 women under 33:00.
Andrew Bumbalough ran a 28:09.35 in the same race.
Andrew has to race over in Japan so that Alberto Salazar does not get him disqualified from races in the United States.

Awesome work CD! Super stoked. Great to see Bumbalough run a 28:09 too. I think he's only run the event twice. Hopefully he'll round back into form by this spring.
-
Bumbalough's most noteworthy win was out-leaning Rupp at the Olympic Trials 5k............in the prelim.
-
Really glad to see this from him.

German ran 13:39. Just as a guess, the two of them have been training together.
