Physiologically best suited to the 5000, but loves the 1500 too much to give it up
That's the one thing I can say I have in common with him
Not sure of any other elites I'd put in the same category, maybe Katir since he seems to have a similar racing profile. Some people said Centro but I'm not really so sure
Katir

He doesn’t need to give up. Now, that his brother is back healthy. He needs to have his brother make the final next year and rabbit for him for 1k. Cheap way to win but better than continually being out kicked.
And side note, I think Jakob is not necessarily better suited for the 5k. He’s just the beneficiary of championship races being run in 13:10.

You have it backwards. J Ingebrigtsen, based on a combination of over 10 years of nature/nurture, he is best suited for 1500m. Thing is, international championship 1500m races lean toward the best 1000m athlete. J Ingebrigtsen cannot get within a second or two seconds of 5000m w.r.

McSweyn, really? Neither his DL results nor his championship results suggest he's better at the 5000, definitely pure 1500 in my opinion

Hmm... I'll remember that for the next few years.
