For sprints (< 400 m), I feel like its my leg speed.
For longer track events, I feel like its my breath.
For marathons, I feel like its my legs which limit me again.
Is this unusual?

Fast twich fibers? Yup, those will limit sprint speed.
Aerobic capacity? Yup, that will largely determine 3k/5k/10k.
Leg strength and energy efficiency? Yup, those will do a lot to determine your marathon time.
You show me a man whose limiting factor in the marathon is leg speed, and I'll show you one f'ed up mofo.

DK
Come on... DK may not be fast, but he's gotta be able to run a mile faster than his MP.
For me a combination of elements limits (limited, since racing for me is past tense) limited my racing pace. And that combination was a mobile equilibriun that changed from month to month. (Long story.) BUT, the single element that limited my racing pace for many years was--based on one of the oldest racing "truisms," regarding going out too fast and having to pay for it later. I learned that, providing I had done the training and was fit and kept a bit of cautious optimism about me, I could run a faster overall pace than I had allowed for many years. Repeat: the conditioning and experience have to be in place. Too many times I got lost in the "too" and forgot the "fast" being more possible.
My enormous schlong.

I seem to recall in his book, him saying that he ran the last mile of one of his 200-mile runs in less than 6 min, significantly faster than his MP.
My lack of training.
