Scenario 1:
Runner A (53 400, 1:55 800, 4:17 mile) vs Runner B (49 400, 1:53 800, 4:21 mile) on a 1200m DMR leg with equal starts
Scenario 2:
Runner C (54 400, 4:24 mile, 15:25 5k) vs Runner D (56 400, 4:28 mile, 15:15 5k) over 3000m
Who comes out on top more than not if the races are run 10 times with different scenarios (tactical, all out, etc.)

Scenario 1
Runner A wins 8/10 times, because runner B is a fader. Runner B clearly has more fast twitch and would need to stay relaxed and "stick on" in order to kick A down.
Scenario 2
Runner D wins 6/10 times because after 1 mile is where he starts his wind up to the finish. This one is closer because both are pretty strong.
