Perfect pacing StrategyNegative Splits
Running the second half of a race faster than you run the first half is a proven formula for success.
In short, you’re not ready to run at your best until the middle of the race—making a negative split easier to attain, and more effective, than most think.
When the opposite happens—you positive split the race, running the first half faster than the second—you’re not allowing the body to be properly warmed up nor taking advantage of the hormones that make racing fast a bit easier. Every runner has had the experience of starting a race fast only to flounder and pull up short in the later miles. Going hard and slowly dying is also far tougher psychologically than still running strong in the later miles while others are flailing and falling away.
The only way to finish strong is to believe in your fitness. That confidence—and a good dose of mental toughness—will help you maintain and focus.
