27:46 at the Night of 10k PBs in an attempt at the Olympic standard. A year as a pro and he’s failing to run any faster than he did in college. He should head to Flagstaff.
I like to beat on BTC as much as anyone, but it's his first year as a pro. I'd like to see more signs of progress but maybe he just needs more time. He still has a chance in the 5k
He’s a runner i feel like should have much faster PB’s with his accolades but i said that a couple years ago about Edwin Kurgat and this year he’s sub 13 and sub 27. It’ll take time for him
I believe charles was sick with covid like a few weeks prior to that race. When I came back from covid, I had to go through the entire build up process for a month or so.
He's always been a better XC runner than on the track. We are so quick to judge though, it's literally his first year as a full-time professional. I hate to break to some but there have been runners who have developed well under the BTC guidance. We seem to forgot those and only focus on the ones who didn't and join the continent of jealous critics.
