Running events in the Decathlon consist of the 100m sprint as event number one. This speaks for itself as it involves getting into blocks and running as fast as you can over 100metres.

The next running event being event number 5 of the decathlon happens to be the 400m sprint. This is more of an endurance sprint where you run as fast and hard as you can for 400 meters (one full lap of the track).

On day two the first event or event number 6 is the 110 meter hurdles. This is similar to that first sprint however now there are 10 hurdles in the way for athletes to run and hurdle (jump step). Finally event 10, the last event of the Decathlon is the 1500m run. This is an endurance race and is quite different than the other events in the competition as it is the one and only distance event. Athletes give their all to finish this race and then typically collapse after
