Ben True Looks To Tame Beast At UAE Healthy Kidney 10K
Some days are hard, others are void of all explanation. Congrats to @CDerrickRun on a great showing and to all those headed to China

Ben True struggled to an 11th place finish at the 2015 USATF XC Championships.
True decided it was time to return to his home in Hanover, New Hampshire, and regain the strength which escaped him in the thin air of Boulder. The process of getting back to his “old self” was a lengthy one, and even after collecting his third straight US 15K Championship title on March 15th in Jacksonville, Florida, True was still recovering from his altitude stint.
The Bounce Back
True after setting the road 5K American record in Boston:
“Coming out and having a result in a race like this today just shows that I’m on the right path,” True said after the victory.
Big Things Ahead
True's 10K race at the 2015 Payton Jordan Invitational:
True prefers the 5k to the 10k, and even after becoming just the 2nd American in 2015 to hit the standard in the longer event, he was still trying to figure out the distance. “The goal was to get the standard, so I got the standard, it wasn’t pretty though. I was a little worried I wasn’t in 10K shape going in to it, and I think that kind of proved I really wasn’t in 10K shape,” True said in a post-race interview. “I haven’t really felt like I’ve been able to figure it (10K) out yet.”
