If you break up MJ's 400m into 200m splits, you will find his first 200m
contributed 49% of his total time, whereas his last 200m contributed 51% to
his total time of 43.18. I don't remember his 100m splits off hand.

To me, who was a mediocre (49 relay leg) but totally enthusiastic and committed 400m
runner 30 years ago (and a student of training), there is no way the negative-split

Actually, it is not all that common (it happens, but not in a lot of cases)
to see world records set with anything other than a very slight negative
split even in a distance race.
As for the 400, I have wondered myself whether there is a physiological
reason to go out fast, because one might insti
Hi I know there is a well known recomendation to aim to run the first
200 meters 1s-3s faster than the sencond ones in a 400 meters sprint.
