An event commonly ran for track and field: a mix between sprinting and distance. Those who are good at are seen as superhuman by the rest of the team. 800 meters is about half a mile. Commonly referred to as simply "the 800"
Why run the 800 (800 meter) when you could light yourself on fire and roll in broken glass and feel the same way?
