Of course he's not the greatest but between current runners, Morhad Amdouni deserves a mention here:

800m: 1:47:20

1500m: 3:34:05

3000m: 7:37:50

5000m: 13:11:18 (indoor)

10,000m: 27:36:80

Half: 59:40

Marathon: 2:09:14

Another fun fact about Ovett. Ovett's pbs at 21 in every event from 800m to the half-marathon (other than the 10000m which he didn't race) would have been the world record just 15 years before (with the ironic exception of the 1500m because of Herb Elliott's outlier WR).

Wrong for 1000m, 1500m, 1 Mile, 2000m

The world's fastest human get's lots of press. But is the fastest 100m performance as impressive as the fastest 10000m performance? Who has or had the greatest combination of speed and endurance?

I would say Said Aouita? 1:43. 800m & sub 13 5k speed.

For non-myostatin deficient athletes or myostatin deficient athletes?

I would have to go with Wariner seeing that he was a NON-myostatin deficient athlete which is tougher to do. Was fast in everything from the 100 to 400. Could also probably run a fast 800 and mile with enough training.

Or Trey Hardee. Was fast in everything from the 100 to 400 for his size of 6'5 and 210. Could also run a pretty decent 1500 if he focused just on that.

Bumping an old thread but Dawit Wolde now goes from 3:33.8 pre super-spikes to 2:03:48 11+ years later.

1:56.81. (64th AT)

3:51.95. (7th AT)

14:13.42. (9th AT)

29:06.82 (2nd AT)

1:05:15. (21st AT)

2:13:44 (2nd AT)

Hassan has the best range.

Obea freaking Moore 10.72, 20.68, 45.1, 1:49.1, 4:24(dirt track?), 9:45(supposedly dirt track also) all in high school! I remember him walking onto the track at Arcadia and it was like Michael Jordan walked onto the court. He was a freaking rockstar, a man vs children.

Salazar ran a 50k, too.
