Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Speed adjustments for distance (ie running calculators) are commonplace, and some calculators include factors such as temperature, wind, and hilliness. Does anyone have any data, or speculation, on how much difference rain can make to race (and/or training) speeds? It's not obvious to me, I can find a spot of drizzle to be quite relaxing and cooling, but a proper downpour (inc heavy wet shoes and running through puddles) must surely be quite a hindrance.

Not at the [lack of] speed I run! Though avoiding puddles, going through slippy slidey mud and over slithery wooden bridges/planks can slow one down somewhat :-) Generally, I like running in the rain as long as I'm warm enough.
