The instinct to run hard from the start is something that is tough to unlearn. That\\u2019s why you so often see new runners, and even experienced runners do this in workouts and races:\\xa0 they start off too fast and at some point, dramatically and disappointingly slow down, finishing far slower than their potential.

But there is a proven race strategy that race after race produces far better results.

It\\u2019s a strategy that has led to nearly every world record in distances from 1500m to the marathon and beyond.\\xa0 It\\u2019s called the negative split.

A negative split is simply running the first half of your race slower than your second half.\\xa0 That means you have to run slower when you are feeling good and run faster when you are feeling tired.\\xa0 Sounds impossible, right? \\xa0Well, it\\u2019s not easy, for sure, but it\\u2019s a concept that can work in nearly any race to ensure that you get the very most out of your potential.
