Why have the longer distances 5000/10000m seen a significant
drop in times as compared to the middle distances 800/1500m??

easier to go down in 5000/10000 times mentally i think. For example, in MD there is only so fast athletes can run (50s laps is about the fastest pace for 800). But in distances if someone wants a record they just say "ok instead of 61s laps, i need to do 60s". Race goes for more time, therefore there is more room for improvement.
*Sorry didnt explain my point very well.
800/1500 is way harder anerobic levels
EPO
I agree 800 meters rocks
