steady 5.5 miles off road yesterday

4.5 hilly road miles tonight......how far will the wind make it feel ??

I'm now convinced that running into a headwind hurts you much more than a tailwind helps you.

Say you were running 7 miles at 7mph hour, 3½ miles out, 3½ miles back.
It would take you 60 minutes to complete your run.
Now suppose a wind was blowing which decreased your speed by 1mph on
the way out and increased your speed by 1mph on the way back.
The first 3½ miles (at 6mph) would take you 35 minutes.
The second 3½ miles (at 8mph) would take you 26¼ minutes (trust me).
Total time would be 61¼ minutes, so the wind has effectively added 1¼ minutes to your time.

So you were right Danbert!

5x 1mile

Got out before it was dark. Bit dicey on the last rep though.

Only 3 miles-but at afairly good pace for me.

Nothing tomorrow-first race of the year Saturday.

Just finished on the turbo thing again. Why does it hurt so much?

I reckon you're definately trying too hard Mud.

Where on your bike do you place your glass of merlot?

Is it secure and are you within reach of the bottle?-Im assuming that you will need a refill before your session is ended?

Ran to work today. A bit blustery but not too bad. Decided to run home as well as the I thought the buses were going to be chaotic - like the trains - all over the place (but not going all over the place!)
