Splits within a race
In a longer race, a split is your cumulative or per-lap time at a checkpoint, like your 200 split in a 400 or your mile split in a two-mile. They show whether your pace is even or fading.
A split is the time recorded at a checkpoint partway through a race, or the time for one runner's leg of a relay. Splits are how coaches and athletes break a race into pieces to study pacing. Here is what splits are and how they are used.
In a longer race, a split is your cumulative or per-lap time at a checkpoint, like your 200 split in a 400 or your mile split in a two-mile. They show whether your pace is even or fading.
Even, well-judged splits usually beat a fast start and a fade. Comparing your splits to a goal pace tells you exactly where a race went right or wrong.
In a relay, your split is the time for your leg. Because legs two through four start moving as the baton arrives, relay splits run faster than an open race from a standing start.
Splits tell you where time went; form tells you why. Film a race, the AI flags where your mechanics break down between checkpoints, so you fix the part of the race that is actually costing you.
