Apology to the OP. This is what he said also. I misread his post

No. This is just an excuse that runners at either side of the spectrum (100m and marathon) use to not incorporate things they aren’t good at into their training. The guy who trains for the 400m until age 20 and then focuses the next 10 years on the marathon will END UP faster than the guy who trains for the marathon his whole life because they will have more speed to work with. Likewise, the 100m runner who does a 5 mile tempo run each week will have mor endurance/kick in the last 30m.
First half can be true, the 2nd half is absolutely false. There's zero about a 5 mile run that would aid a sprinter in the final 30m. If you're really reaching you can say that psychologically it would be a placebo. Physiologically it would do zero.
