Negative Splitting

Negative splitting is a running strategy where a runner completes the second half of a race faster than the first half. This approach involves starting at a steady, manageable pace and then increasing effort as the race progresses, aiming to finish with a stronger, quicker pace. It demonstrates good stamina and pacing control, often leading to better overall times since running the latter part faster can prevent premature fatigue and optimize performance. Negative splitting requires planning and discipline but can result in a more efficient and satisfying race experience.
