Nobody's running for a qualifying time at a specific distance that's required to run on any international team, so why run at a length that means nothing to the man in the street?
Why not be more friendly to your potential viewer base and run good old miles?
And no, 20 years of running 10,000s instead of 6M has not created any sense of awareness as to how long 10K is in the minds of anyone except those who run them.
And even if you believe the 10K has some currency, don't try to tell me that the women's 6K distance is anything that anybody has a real-distance fix on.
(of course, the fact that men and women aren't running the same distance is another crime, but I'll leave that rant for another time)
