Planning Your Strategy This tool calculates a steady, “even split” pace. While this is the most efficient way to run, many athletes use different strategies:
- Positive Splits: Starting faster to “put time in the bank” (risky, but common).
- Negative Splits: Starting conservatively and finishing faster (often the secret to a Personal Best).
Use these splits as a baseline and adjust based on the course elevation and your fitness levels.
