       Alistair Brownlee ran 28.32 and came second at 10 000m track
       event in the US last weekend.
       Alistair Brownlee raced to victory in San Diego, a week before
       he recorded 28.32 on the track
       
       Olympic gold medalist, Alistair Brownlee, showed his world-class
       pedigree last Sunday, when he ran a superb 28:32 min on the
       track for the 10 000m event at the Payton Jordan Cardinal
       Invitational at Stanford University.
       
       Brownlee was competing in Heat 2 and finished second to Jose
       Antonio Uribe Marin (28:30). Australia’s Ben St Lawrence won the
       first heat in 27:37.55. Brownlee was only 22 seconds off England
       Athletics’ B-Standard qualifying (28:10) time for next year’s
       Glasgow Commonwealth Games and just over a minute slower than Mo
       Farah’s gold-medal winning performance at the Olympics last
       year.
       
       Brownlee told run247.com:  “It is different. With triathlon of
       course you are tired from the start – I actually found the first
       half, up to around 5km, relatively comfortable.
       
       “The effort and the pain builds slowly and gradually creeps up
       on you, so by 7km it was really starting to hurt – and once you
       are in the final 500 or 600m then it really does start to hurt,
       a world of pain.
       
       “I would say that I am pleasantly surprised with the time. The
       conditions were almost perfect too which helps, so overall I’m
       really happy.
       
       “I would like to think that I can go maybe 20 or 30 seconds
       faster, but it’s really hard to put a number on it.”
