<p>My thoughts on hardness of events. If someone is a good distance runner, they can be a good sprinter (actually, mid distance, cause I mean 1600m-5k). If someone is a good sprinter, it does not mean that they could be a good distance runner.
I find that right after a nice two mile race, I love the 4x400m. Its like a treat cause I only have to run one lap! And I run a 53 so I’m not going super slow.
Also, I’m pretty sure our long distance crew at my high school does more mileage in one day than the sprinters do in one week. But we have really wussy sprinters.
Bottom line, 800m is hardest and 400m is less than or equal to 1600m.</p>
<p>p.s. About how many miles per week do not lazy sprinters do?</p>
