There are a few segments near me that are 3-4 miles long and crowns are pretty fast, and provides a bit of extra motivation to do the tempo. Would the lets run audience consider it cringe to go for them?
Is it acceptable to base a fartlek around segments? Where is the limit with this? I imagine that most people would consider jogging up to a 300m long segment, then sprinting it at full pace as pretty sad, but interested to know what people think.
I imagine a lot of the lets run purists will never look at strava at all and would get pretty mad at the idea of strava crowns, but I hope there are a few different views.
