About us

Written by racers, for racers

Negative Split covers road and trail racing for runners who already train seriously. Every guide is written or reviewed by people who have raced the course or coached athletes to it.

Editorial standards

  • Experience first. Race guides come from people who've run the course, plus official race information.
  • Sources linked. Training claims cite research or established coaching practice. We say so when evidence is thin.
  • Kept current. Guides show a last-updated date and are reviewed before each race season.
  • Corrections. Spot an error? Email [CONTACT EMAIL] and we'll fix it and note the change.

How we test gear

We test products in real training — easy miles, workouts and long runs — before recommending them. Most products are purchased; when a brand provides a sample, we say so in the review. Brands never see reviews before publication and can't pay for placement.

Affiliate disclosure

Negative Split is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links, marked with "Check price" buttons. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We participate in [AFFILIATE PROGRAMS, e.g. retailer programs]. As an [Amazon Associate, if applicable] we earn from qualifying purchases.

Commissions help fund testing and reporting. They never influence rankings or which products we cover.
