I find it very hard to run when the wind is blowing. I try to run whatever is the weather but when it's windy I find it's almost impossible to finish my run
Strong wind is
my least favourite weather condition to run in. It plays havoc with breathing and balance.
If it's daylight, I'll try to head for wooded areas for the shelter that the trees offer. When it's dark, I'll stay on the local housing estate. It's situated on the side of a hill and is quite often sheltered.
But in the past, the majority of my running was done going both to and from work. There was no (reasonable) alternative means to do the journey which meant that I often had to run almost the whole way into the wind (5 miles). It was uncanny how often there would be a headwind in
both directions!
In those circumstances, you just learn to run in whatever conditions meet you when you step out of the door.
I remember a training diary entry from 1979 where I've written something like: "... No run today. Too windy!"

I embarrass myself every time I read that one! :embarrassed:
