Running

What's so great about negative splits other than testing your limit? Last year I ran my 1st HM with a negative split. I enjoyed it, didn't push too far. I'm running another one next month, have trained much better and looking to take 10+ min off my prior time. Running negative splits on a much faster pace looks scary.

Good luck with your next HM 💪
For myself I always used plans with the same pace for the whole distance but it didn’t work anymore for my 2 last marathons so next attempt I’ll also (try) to cut it into 3 parts with the first 10M in an “easy” pace instead.
I think the main advantage in using a negative split theorie is that when you are having a bad day or for example bad weather conditions you can still finish close to your goal.
