My brother and I both independently came across this technique before running a fun 5k in December. The 5k was straight out n back and, without talking about it beforehand, we both BARELY convinced ourselves to not try it, for the first time, in a very public setting. The running world is simply not ready for my slightly overweight, 41 year old, mediocre running self to fall ass over tincups trying to shave 0.3 seconds off of my 24 minute time.
