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.

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

enjoy cats, running, bread, and a bit of w̶e̶b̶3̶ onchain data

Re 2: you’ll pass the others even if you keep the pace constant. The majors end with a positive split 😅

Makes sense. I like this plan from my Runna app program but I’m afraid I won’t have enough left in the tank for pushing the last 7km
