Decathlete built almost like a 1500m specialist, yet 1500m might be his second-weakest event of the decathlon behind shot put.

His personal best for 1500m is 4:29.69, and upon completion he was practically passed out flat on his back requiring medical assistance and even oxygen, after he ran this in Gotzis 2019.

His most recent performance was 4:58 at the Commonwealth Games Decathlon, barely breaking 5 minutes. To be fair though, he was probably exhausted from virtually back-to-back decathlons having competed in Eugene a couple weeks prior, but he looks like someone who could run a lot quicker than that.

Anyone else share this same observation?

He’s 1 m 91 cm in height which is around 6.3/6.4, and looking at these videos I agree that he’s quite slim (low body fat) but he’s still probably around 80 to 85 kg which would be around 180 pounds. I’m guessing that if he were to focus on 1500 m he might be able to get down to 4:10-4:15, but that would be to the detriment of the other more explosive events and contests which make up part of the the Decathlon.

He just had a windy 26 foot long jump, is a seven foot high jumper, and he runs 10.6. He might look like he is lean enough to be a distance runner but his appearance is simply deceiving. He doesn't exactly neglect intervals or doing longer runs - he could probably improve to 3:25 with some more mileage but his body needs to hold up for 9 other events and he is naturally just a jumper and a sprinter.
