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.

not sure if there are other more “scientific” reasons for it, but is it as simple as: 1. knowing you need to push hard later should prevent you from going out too fast and blowing up 2. when executed well, it’s more fun to pass people at the end vs hold on and get passed

Afaik, negative splits allows you to use energy more effectively Negative splits progressively build lactate on your muscle slower than positive splits and it makes your run more efficient Here’s a good article on negative splits https://www.pentonsperformancetherapy.co.uk/post/runningnegativesplits

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.
