If you ran an all out solo 2 mile time trial in 10:56 on a track with winds at 30 gusting to 35 mph, what would you expect to run in a road 2 mile with calm winds? (The backstretch was directly into the wind.)
I know there is no right or good answer to this question but just curious if anyone has any personal experience.
Thanks
I would say about 20-25 seconds.
I was going nearly all out on the backstretch into the winds, they were brutal. I never had any rhythm at all through the whole thing, it was just hard and slow. Thanks for the advice, it's appreciated.
Anyone else?
I'd say on a perfect day you could run better than a 10:56. Depending on what shape you are in ofcourse ;)
Was that FAT or hand timed?

I was just on the track by myself so it was with a garmin - so not FAT but not hand timed either.
10:50 or slightly better.
did you say one to get ready two to get set and three to go?
If no it's not officially a Fully Garminized Time and you have to use the 0.24 conversion factor.
Sounds like a sure sub ten with out the wind and with FAT garmins are always long.
Unless it is a redtoed zambezian garmin which are stubby little things compared to regulat nort american garmins from WeBePets&Stuff.
I did. However, I wasn't fully set so I caught myself off guard when I said "go" and had a poor start. I was being cautious though because at my last time trial I was a bit jumpy and had to DQ myself for jumping the gun.

((500-W)/500)*T+10-12
where W = wind speed
T = time run in time trial
add time for running on a road
subtract time for being in a race
10:14
Thanks for the formula, I would be very surprised with 10:14 though.
Hey fiddler,
ESPN Rise Magazine tells me starting blocks help milers, they might help you in the two too.
What is your football 40?
Re-reading my post brings me to ask the musical question Does Capezio and Danskin sell Desmond Tutus?

add time for being a dork.
10:27
I use the blocks for easy runs, I plan on bringing my own to my road race this weekend. My 40 is 4.32, what do you think I can do for two miles from that? (there were no gusts over 35 mph)

I ran 10:00 flat with a 7mph head wind on the backstretch today. Wind makes a BIG difference.
