honestly, for a mid distance runner like yourself weightlifting wouldnt help much at all

you should focus on polymetrics

I'm not so sure you'd need much for the 1500 but for the 800 a certain degree of strength is needed. I would focus a lot on plyos, core and trunk work, and maybe walking lunges with no rest. No amount of weight room work could compare to what you build by running/sprinting but it is very important to have a strong base.

Just don't go overboard and build unneeded mass.
