Just got back from a 5k recovery run and see I have almost perfect negative splits - 6.58, 6.50, 6.50, 6.43,6.40! I think this is only about the second time Iβve ever managed it, as I usually set off too fast! ππββοΈπ

Absolutely perfect Sandie, who would have thought that you would have called that a recovery run , a year ago. πββοΈβ‘οΈ
Wow Sandie, youβve officially had two perfect 5k runs in a row! Youβre fabulous! Very well done! πββοΈππββοΈπͺπββοΈππββοΈ
A perfect run! My hubby and I managed to do that last week as well. It is fun to see, especially when it wasnβt something you consciously tried to do, the body just did it for you. You just have to bask in the glory of a perfect run when it happens!
Well done Sandie, brilliant run. No long distances for me this week. Legs need a rest!! Maybe Park run 2 on Saturday. I am sure you will cruise through 13kπββοΈπͺ
Fantastic negative splits Sandi. I love getting them too, but mine arenβt in the same league as yours! Wow! π
Wow! Those are amazing negative splits. Well done!
Now I'm feeling very dim because I've no idea what negative splits are and what they mean. Looks like it could be to do with getting faster as you go maybe?
Yes, the negative part is positive - the steady increase in speed. I think the perfect bit here is the slow, steady drop in time per km, but I may be corrected by the legions of knowledgeable statisticians on here! π
At itβs simplest, a negative split is doing the second half of a run faster than the first. Doing every lap/km/mile/ whatever faster than the previous one shows great control of pace and is always worth celebrating π
Ah thank you. I've seen the term before and thought it may be something like that but now I know for sure!
Blimey..
Textbook stuff..well done you x
