Negative Split: Smart Race Pace Planning

Race Like a Pro. Plan for Success. Do a Negative Split.

Use the Negative Split app for tailoring a split plan to your form on the day.

Ever tried losing traction during a race and having to scramble to get to the finishing line? You probably started out too fast.

Instead you’d want to start out slower and finish faster. And run your own race. It feels much better—especially when overtaking all the others that started out too fast. By starting out slower you avoid having too much lactic acid build up in your muscles too early.

A negative split is when the first half of a race is slower and takes longer than the second half.

The Negative Split app helps you calculate a split plan that will make you shine on race day. Or improve your workouts.

Negative Split is for running, swimming, cycling, and walking. Or any other activity based on going a distance over time using good, old muscle power.

If you’re a coach Negative Split can be used in the work with your athletes. It’s as easy as creating a split plan customized for the individual athlete and sharing it from the app.
