Well paced I would say the 800 m for sure.

Pikes Peak Ascent was really horrible.
I agree with everyone saying 800. The 1600 you have to pace your laps so you're giving less than 100% early on in order to conserve energy for that last lap. With the 800 you're basically running a hard 400 and then everything you have left until you die or finish. I believe every world record above 800m was set with a negative split but the 800 was set by going as hard as you can for as long as you can and holding on.
All track events hurt. But none hurt more than a track marathon.

An INDOOR track marathon...
The less likely you are to pull off a negative split, the more painful the event is.
