The 800 will always be a stronger event than the 5000. Go to a college track meet and see how many competitors are in both events. The 800 is the sweet spot where speed and endurance meet.
I genuinely enjoy that none of us in 2023 have yet to agree what the 800 is. Even physiologists.
Stand Nick Symmonds next to David Rudisha and tell what the 800 requires. Its guys running 120 miles per week, its guys running 50 miles per week,...... Its all "strength and speed! But look at A-MU...jeesh.
800 chooses you! Not the other way around.
