One of the most noted runners in the United States, Steve Prefontaine used negative splits to train and compete in high school. In one example, Prefontaine's goal was to run a 9:44 two-mile, requiring a 73-second pace per lap. Instead of running a flat pace, Prefontaine's coach, Walt McClure, had him run the first six laps at 75 seconds per lap.
For the 100m and 200m events, pacing is not a factor. Because the race is so short, racers simply run at their top speed for the duration of the race. However, for the 400m at the elite level, the event is almost uniformly run with a positive-split strategy. Runners run the first 200m faster than the final 200m. [13] [14]
For the first 5-kilometre section split, they were one second off the pace, going through in 14:14, and they later went through the 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) mark in 28:21. Around 50 minutes into the race, Desisa dropped out of the group before Tadese and Kipchoge went together through halfway in 59:57.

An earlier women's world record, 4:12.56 set by Svetlana Masterkova of Russia on 14 August 1996 at Zürich, stood for almost 23 years: Masterkova became the first woman to run the mile in less than 4 minutes and 15 seconds. Kipyegon's run has led some to speculate that the first women's sub-four minute mile may come within the 21st century. [31]
