A decathlon is a multiple event competition. There are four running races as part of the events, so after completing those events you will have run 2110 meters (and have gone over 10 hurdles), less than 1 1/3 miles. There are 4 other events in the decathlon that involved running, as a set up to jump or throw. You get three attempts in each of those events and your distance to run up is your choice (averaging 25-30 meters each time for a long jump, a high jump significantly shorter). Then there are two events that are throws from a circle. The main point is, the decathlon is not about long mileage like a marathon, it is about excellence over a variety of events, or tests. Further, it is difficult to train for all of those events at the same time. In particular, the body type that would be ideal for the Shot Put and the 1500 meters are about as opposite as possible.

The time between two events is the interval between them.
A between-time is a period of time between two events.
As long as it takes. Time of Event2 - Time of Event1 = Delta Time
Elapsed time refers to the time that passes between two events.
It usually refers to the length of time between the the two events occurring.
Combined events refer to competitions in track and field athletics where athletes participate in multiple events over a period of time and earn points based on their performances in each event. Decathlon and heptathlon are examples of combined events where athletes compete in a series of ten or seven events, respectively. The winner is determined by the total points accumulated across all events.
