    Geordie Beamish has set the New Zealand record for the 5000 metres, now he wants to crack the 13-minute mark


    His time in Boston at the weekend was 13 minutes 4.33 seconds.

    Beamish will focus on his preferred 3000 metre steeplechase for the Olympics, but improving his 5000 metre benchmark is on the to-do list.
