I use it for fell running and road races and due to start times and needing high ISO ... It is brilliant. When other photographers fail, my shots are fine.

You have limited budget, been used to a D300 , K5 etc............ which are more for enthusiasts with there external controls. You need to decide if your happy diving into the menu system to change settings with a D5xxx series, if not get a D7000 for your budget. Also, allowing for what is comfortable in the hand, easy really.
Sorry if this post sounds a little blunt, but you're starting to go around in circles. Buy whats best for you.
Pete, it's usually advised to invest in the glass first. The Nikon 35 & 50mm are not expensive lenses and can be bought without much saving if your working etc...... Look at your budget and see what you can afford after buying these lenses, it may help you decide which body you can purchase.
There have been a few opinions going for the D7000, and IMO it would be what I would buy after owning the D3100, D7000, D7100 & Currently the D750 for the budget you have.
If you have a look at the link below from DP you can compare ISO performance and IMO the D7000 is cleaner than the D5200 & D5300 @ ISO 3200. You can change the ISO setting at the bottom if you want to compare other readings.
Edit: It hasn't saved the camera makes for the test. Just use the drop down menus at top and change to the relevant cameras. ISO changes are at bottom.
