Windy weather can cause havok to runners and cyclists, so if it is very windy, better not to run.

I’ve been told that running in the wind is good hill training. Given that we have strong sea breezes and no hills, that’s probably a good thing 😂😂

I'll bet MrsCDN, no wonder you felt the need to stop when it got too blustery...wouldn't want to get blown down one of those 😳👍

My cap flew off in the wind yesterday dragging my earplugs with it. Retrieved it from the middle of the road (fortunately no cars coming) and carried them the rest of the way
