It says you just wanna go for it and let it all hang out. So what if you slow down a little bit on the second and third miles? "B-but it's faster to run negative splits!" Shut up nerd
But your regular runner is not Cheptegeii. You're not even Cheptegei.
Why short other runners just to be right?
I swear..the running community is full of one time dreamers who didn't make it and want to put those who made it on blast.
I'm glad i never said yes to any invites to a bar after a group run. You're all a bunch of piteous Karens and Kens.
Lol wtf? Who am I “putting on blast”?
It’s easier to look at the examples of elite runners running lifetime bests than average Joes, and I could wheel out tons of other examples. Take the top 5 American indoor 5ks for one - Kincaid, Fisher, Klecker, Bor and Rupp all ran negative splits in those 5ks. Just because they’re exceptional runners doesn’t mean the same physiological principles don’t apply to them as you or me.
And as for me, I’m an alcoholic with disheveled hair who’s been arrested multiple times and is working in kitchens, not complaining about them…NOBODY who met me would ever describe me as a “Ken”. I train alone and the last race I ran was in 2021 and I won; I went to the post race event at a bar just to accept my award and leave without talking to anyone.

This is alpha. You're cool, you can stay in this thread.
God this is a stupid post. Running the first mile of a race fastest means you're going to get a slower time than you would otherwise, especially since you're some immature teen and not an elite athlete running a near even pace. The only time a fast first mile may have value is in an xc race where the course narrows or otherwise presents an advantage of getting out.
When you're running in the NCAA as a college athlete or even on the roads as a post collegiate no one cares how cool you are and a few seconds could mean several places for your team. A few seconds could mean the difference between being a scholarship athlete and a walk on or a walk on and a nirca runner. It’s running, not gymnastics. And dragging along in the last half mile of a race because you are burnt out is the lamest thing ever. That is what people will remember, you sucking it up and getting past by 10 guys in the last 800, not how you had a huge gap on the field at 2.5 miles to go.
Well ok, but what if you ran the o to eat two miles on PURE HATE? Would that get you the scholarship?

Wait a second.
You have a criminal record and you seriously think anyone should consider your opinion on anything?
And then your hero and letsrun namesake is the lowlife drug-addled Bob Dylan???
