Both of these make sense. No need for these guys to run any faster/more mileage for how much their raw speed is worth.
I'm sure Arop could run a solid mile and for sure under 4:00, but there is absolutely some untapped potential in the 400M as well. I mean he does run 1:41 after all. Historically those have been the dudes who can run a low-45 and sub 4:00 mile

No one said 800m can’t run decent sprint times.
Jewitt’s 800m pace is 5 seconds slower than his 200m sprinting pace. Therefore, he is not even close to sprinting when he runs the 800m.
It is called "speed reserve" - a crucial factor in the 800.

The 800M is a mix of sprinting and middle-distance. The first lap often feels like a sprint, especially at elite levels, but it's not a pure sprint.

800 meters is usually considered a mid-range run. This race combines speed and endurance, and although its distance is short, it requires runners to have a certain level of aerobic and anaerobic ability. For many athletes, the 800 meter race is neither a pure sprint nor a long-distance run, but a challenge that requires finding a balance between speed and endurance.11

According to Armstronglivs, the 5000m can be middle distance, depends on who runs it. So maybe the 800m also can be a walking event? Dependent on the athlete who "runs" it?

El G remains a md athlete despite winning the 5k in Athens. But with regard to the 800 it would be a walk in your case. Everyone would pass you.

Really? What is that poster's 800m PB? What is yours?

He's shown he has no understanding of what the race requires. So he isn't or wasn't an 800 runner. I was.

When you have no arguments, you always belittle other posters. Typical narcissistic behavior.
And you obviously were not an 800m runner. You don't even know how to write times.

5000m is a long distance event, it doesn't depend on the athlete who runs it.

Someone else who never used to race the 800. Thanks.

Yes, you are Narcissus - as you say. As you choose to belittle other posters with using names you have apparently described yourself.

It actually does. Running it doesn't make you a distance runner - unless you are good at it or better than you are over shorter distances. Ingebrigtsen has had success at it but it isn't his best distance. That is, so far, between 2k-2mile. And whether he "sprints" the 800 or not he will never be good at that.

More reflection in your case. Narcissus was, after all, obsessed with that. Hence projection when you think you are describing someone else.

Best all round race event, imo, Is the 800m

I have always said the 800 is the toughest race because you sprint the first lap, and try to pick up the pace for the second lap.

No, it doesn't.
5000m is a long distance event. Everybody in this forum knows it - with one exception.
When a sprinter runs a 10000m just for fun in 50 minutes during his winter training, he has not become a long distance runner - but he has run a long distance event.
