Both athletes need almost equivalent portions of protein during the training phase. This is because protein is used primarily to repair the damage to muscle fibers during training. Endurance athletes and strength athletes damage their muscles in different ways however, which leads to the formation of differing types of musculature.

Add to that a middle distance event (1500 meter run in decathlon and 800 meter run in heptathlon) that is always run as the last event and you can add endurance to the speed and strength these athletes must have. Decathletes and hepathletes are considered the best athletes in the world.
