If you run a WR pace as a split in a longer race, do you get credit for the WR?
I realize that that is nearly impossible in the real world. I was inspired by a thread looking for the thread that was looking for this article:

(I understand that it wouldn't be enough to simply have a faster average pace, that instead, you would actually need to be clocked at the WR pace over a specific distance to even have a discussion about it.)
PS- Here is a running related question, for my fans :-)
