How many points is a 5:01 ..... 501 ?

Never give advice. Wise people don't need it and stupid people won't listen to you anyway.
They should totally turn the 1500 into a 5000 and then seed it like a pursuit in cross country skiing with the highest point total ahead by the correct numbers of seconds to the next and so on. First person across the line is 1st and so on. It would take what is a brutal, ugly, and largely pointless race at the end of the decathalon and turn it into a real race worth watching.
By the way, we should have a pursuit somewhere on the world stage as a real race format, albeit a gimmic not to replace the main events. Maybe 5000k and steeple or dmr and mile relay.

I believe they do this in the pentathlon. I can't remember all the events but one is shooting and they finish with a run. The stumbling block would be timing. How could you have accurate timing if people start separately? On your marks, then 10-15 separate gun shots?
5000k would be excessive.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
