The edits I involved were to improve or expand on information already existed. Few of the edits were new information to that term that I think was necessary to understand the term well. First was chemically explaining what causes the negative split to be so difficult, which is lactic acid that builds up at race pace runs. Secondly, mention track events negative splits are practiced in, such as the 400m and the splits are both 200m within that race. Went on and define lactate as it is the molecules within muscles that give a burning sensation when trying to attempted negative splitting. Gave examples on how to lessen the amount of lactate build within races. Lastly, I included Usain Bolt negative split in the 2009 Championship and explain his differences in times and how he successfully achieved negative splitting.
