Oh, interesting, I never heard of splits in the context of running before. But I used to check my time after I passed specific checkpoints to see if I was still "in time" or slower / faster than usually.

Guess I already did something similar, but just didn't think that I should try to keep the same pace. Hilly terrain would make this harder, but where I am now, my routes are quite flat.

But this means trying to give it all at the end is not a thing to squeeze out the last few seconds out of the time?

edit: Oh, I see. That's roughly what negative splits are about, haha
