I want to start speedrunning the game but with how late I am and with the current WR's I feel as if its no real use as i'm worried the WR's are basically how far we can push the game, yeah I could possibly beat the WR by milliseconds but it is very hard to do. So should I really?

For the runs it is required to start the timer at the moment you press play, I recommend that the timer starts once you load in, the rules could either be changed or you could make a new category for this rule, just my opinion.
