So I have an all comers meet I am going to in like 8 days and I wanna do the 1500m and the 800m but the 800m is only 20 minutes after the 1500m. What should I do because i don’t wanna be gassed for the 800m Should I drop one of them or something else?

only one way to find out. i'd feel a lot more comfortable with that double if the rest was 2x20, but if you're really, really fit, you might be able to pull it off decently.
That’s bad scheduling as that is a common double.
If you want to run well, pick one.
If you want to run both, back off the first 3 laps of the 1500 and move over the last 300.
Do a light 5 min jog afterwards.
Then run the 800 the best you can.
If you run the 15 too hard and die, your 800 will not be good.
