What is actually worth saving when you work in speedrunning?

If you only keep a small archive in speedrunning, make it one that preserves real decisions. A strong speedrunning starter pack should include one timer, one category hub, one route notebook, and one archive of runs worth studying. That gives a new runner enough structure to improve without losing themselves in random grind. The materials that keep earning their place are usually timer and split setup references, route notes with real practice commentary, and videos that show both execution and live explanation.

What tends to matter more than people expect:
- timer and split setup references
- route notes with real practice commentary
- videos that show both execution and live explanation

Documents and references worth keeping:
- LiveSplit auto-splitter guide reference: livesplit.org/faq/
The FAQ points readers toward the auto-splitter documentation and surrounding tool ecosystem.
- LiveSplit Auto Splitters repository: github.com/LiveSplit/LiveSplit.AutoSplitters
A strong build-and-reference archive for runners who want to see how community tooling evolves.
- LiveSplit layouts and examples: livesplit.org/faq/
Useful visual cues for layout, split organization, and what a readable timer setup looks like.
- Speedrun.com: speedrun.com/
The central hub for categories, leaderboards, community guides, and run verification.
