I've used comparable sections of flat tarmac path and chosen days without much wind.

I don't have many choices that don't involve crossing junctions, dodging pedestrians, running alongside busy roads with lots of exhaust pollution, or a long distance to run to. Those I can use are exposed to the wind, so I choose whichever one that is not into a headwind. Today's attempt was with a cross/tailwind, and after a first 1/4 mile at 9:08mm pace I picked up speed and finished in 8:39. Not bad considering one leg has not been co-operating for almost a month, and far better than the 9:30 or even 10 minutes I feared might happen. |
