There is no such trade-off.
Running more miles builds the fitness you need to handle more intervals.

For an 800m specialist, in most cases there is no point in running lots of miles: 50-60 for the base period and then 30-40 miles is fairly typical.
For the mile and up, it may be beneficial, depending on your genetics as peak speed is less important for these distances.
