Funny you should say that Malmo, I do relate to that, in fact this IS my
pace for a 1 hour run! Of course, I'm talking about km pace. If you mean
miles, you're in way, way better shape than I am.

It seems to me that cross-country split times have two important functions:
(1) during the race, they help runners to gauge their effort and strategize,
and (2) after the race, they enable fans/statisticians/coaches to
reconstruct the progress of a race, to see who had the most effective pacing

Come on, [malmo]. The idea that Americans can't relate to metric splits
is
absurd. Who doesn't relate to the total time in a metric race?
If you know
that 30:00 is a good time for a 10k cross country

Here is the basic premise it all boils down to in Track Field gentlemen:
THE MILE IS STILL KING.
