Nicholas Owens has 16 speed, 15 acceleration, and 16 stamina which allows him to be a pretty decent long distance runner. Definitely not the best of the best, but someone who can compete decently in mid to low packs.  Long distance running takes a lot of stamina which is why the 16 stamina is really nice to have. Besides that however, having 16 speed to keep up with others and to cut down time is really nice. Then the acceleration comes in to make sure Owens doesn't fall too far behind in the beginning of races, as well as get back up if he trips up or pauses for whatever reason. Another great stat here is balance. Keeping balance in both to keep on your feet, as well as keep a good center of balance to optimize your form is important in long distance running. Another another one is definitely having good mental toughness to keep at it
