I planned for a shorter one this morning to try to go a little bit faster than a snail, but that plan went straight out the window almost as soon as I left the front door. This must be the first time I’ve had wind battering straight into my face - boy, does that make running hard 😩 Oh well, I’ll take 3.5K even if it was slower than my already slow usual! 😂
Windy Day: I planned for a shorter one this... - Bridge to 10K

Oh yes, wind is hard work isn’t it NewRunner? Still, you ran and quite possibly worked harder running your 3.5k in the wind than 5k on a calm day, so good for you! 👍👏😀

Great effort in that wind. I e been aware of doors banging all night, a real gale out there. Call it a 3.5k resistance training run. The 🙆♀️😀

You did very well on your 3.5k run despite the wind, like cycling, running against the wind is hard, I ran a 5K yesterday around a loch nearby to where I live, it was hard against the wind, not so bad when the wind was was "pushing me along." at the other side. 😊 🏃🏾
Good job on your windy 5K yesterday. I’m not sure I felt any benefit this morning of getting pushed along - felt more like the wind was constantly in my face regardless of what direction I was going 😂

You may have thought you were going slower but I bet you worked harder. Runnung in a strong wind to me is like resistance training. 😊😊

Oh, that happened to me once, lazy me tried to go with the wind direction, but it was worse it was much faster than me, so instead of helping I was going to trip... Well done, 3.5 km under the circumstances is a great run

Absolutely NewRunner4 ...you def should take that...the wind can be unforgiving sometimes, and it's like someone's got their hand on your forehead making it a real battle so firstly well done for even going out in that wind and secondly, well done on the distance you achieved 👏

Thanks Mummycav, that’s exactly what it felt like. I’m sure I was running on the spot at one point 😂 Luckily I was already outside before I realised how windy it was, otherwise I may not have gone. I’m glad I did it, but definitely not my most enjoyable. Bring back the cold, crisp mornings thank you very much!

Well done, a bit of a workout for you! When it's really windy, it's not much fun and I do worry about trees coming down so avoid my usual route in the woods.

Hey, please dont worry about your pace.... you went for a run, you battled against the wind, you returned home... all big ticks in my book. Consistency is the key.

Lol, fantastic strength work running against the wind...well done for getting out there regardless! It's all good fun 😉
