IMO, if segment bagging is what gives runners motivation to get out there and run a bit faster then why not? Particularly if they're unattached/not in the habit of racing it can satisfy the competitive streak, and maybe even get them interested in racing/joining a club.
I say that, having been guilty of doing exactly the same on an easy run last week with one single spurt of speed, but only ending up 3rd on the leader board for the segment. In my defense, the lead time "run" looks decidedly dodgy (best km not much over 2 mins!) but I didn't even flag it up. ;-)

Is it bad etiquette to go on runs specifically targeting crs?
Keep getting notifications that the same guy has taken a cr off me, no record of him in run Britain or power of 10, but some splits are pretty impressive, but the runs are definitely targeting crs with 6min kms with a sudden segment at 2:30 per km for 600m and then back to 6 min kms!
