Warnings!!!
Splits assume altitude training. Without training in high altitude
you can expect to lose time after Barr Camp! Without training in very high altitude
you can expect to lose serious time after the A-frame. Consider yourself warned:-)
Altitude training = 6,000 - 10,000'
High altitude training = 10,000 - 12,000'
Very High altitude training = 12,000 - 14,000'
Goal times slower than 5:54:20 will produce splits slower than needed to make the
3:00:00 Barr Camp cut-off! You should use the splits for a 5:54:20 or a little faster
for some cushion. While I don’t recommend going out faster than your final goal pace
this is what must be done to make the Barr Camp and A-Frame cut-offs.
Notes
The slower you are the more useless the Ruxton split becomes.
It will read too slow because almost everyone runs to Ruxton while the slower you are the more
you will be walking the rest of the course. Indeed, some start walking on Ruxton!
No Name Creek split 2 and Barr
Camp split 3 are from Hydro Street and not
the start because many people start here on training runs.
Those that are not strong hill runners
will probably run slightly ahead of the calculator split times from
No Name to Barr Camp because this section is not as steep as the
norm and even has four small downhill sections.
