"Wind is resistance training you didn't pay for."
Wind is free resistance training. The trick is to start into it. Tailwind on the way home is a gift, not a goal.
- Out-and-back: head out into the wind first.
- Lower your stride and lean slightly forward.
- Eyewear keeps grit out — even cheap ones work.
FAQ
How windy is too windy?
Sustained 60 km/h gusts: not worth it. Branches fall, footing changes. Otherwise, send it.
Will wind ruin my pace?
It will mess with your watch but not your fitness. Time on feet still counts.
