split time

Partial race measurement

Split time is a recorded interval within a longer race or timed activity, marking how long it took to complete a particular segment.

Runners check split times at mile markers to gauge their pace; swimmers get splits for each lap.

Coaches use splits to identify where athletes gain or lose time.

In workplace contexts, split time can mean dividing work hours between locations or roles: She splits time between the New York and London offices.
