It is probably not a coincidence that both men and women Marathon were run with a huge negative split.
It must be the way to run with the new shoes. Legs are not as beat up in last half of marathon with new shoes, so if you can keep something in the tank, it seems to give the best result.

Yep, now everyone will realize the hack is to just twiddle your thumbs through the first half in a leisurely 60:48 so you’re able to pop a sub-28 split from 30 to 40 K.

Sure. I honestly do think that a small negative split is usually the most effective pacing strategy. But the fact that at this particular moment in time both the WRs were run with big negative splits is not a meaningful data set. 3 weeks ago both WRs were run with substantial positive splits. Still, the 2nd fastest time for men and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fastest times for women were run with substantial positive splits.

Seems like roughly 1 minute, in either direction, works just fine.
There are athletes who have positive split 200m through 800m and swear positive splitting is great. They will say most people ... .
Positive splitting usually coincides with deteriorating running form. No upside of deteriorating running form.
Second, positive splitting often means getting passed by other runners. Runners may lie and tell their logical brain it doesn't matter to be passed by others, deep down it hurts, passed by one, then one more ... .

Well, yeah: because you didn’t just say “honestly”; you were actually being honest and trying to earnestly figure out a good way to run a marathon.
so I believe you’re right. OP, though, just wanted to stir the pot, and as such, wound up spewing nonsense.

This. When you're working in those margins, you know you probably got the most out of your race.

Races above 800 are rarely won with a positive split.
