I am guessing that they would look like combinations of the digits 0 - 9, colons, and decimal points.
They'd be a lot slower. The advantage from having a 20mph wind at your back while you're going one direction doesn't offset the disadvantage from having the wind in your face going the other direction. So use of the word "assisted" probably doesn't make much sense here.

Ummm..."assisted" would seem to imply that the 20 mph wind was at your back throughout.
Ummm...do you even have an IQ - I mean a non-zero one?
100 - 9.10
200 - 18.90
400 - 39.60
800 - 1:38.70
1500 - 3:19.90
3000 - 7:15.00
5000 - 12:24.00

Tracks are round.
Marathon - 59:59

Ummm...actually tracks are not round although they do have two semi-circular sections.
The OP's question was a hypothetical. There is no reason that we must assume that the wind goes in one direction. Indeed, for the question being asked it is clear that the assumed wind would follow the track.
Now, about that IQ...

Round means "shaped like or approximately like a circle." Tracks are shaped approximately like a circle. Tracks are round.
I don't think that the OP should assume that the wind will follow the track. This is very unlikely to occur.
I've been in a few track races where the wind blew in my face the entire time.
Marathon 2:03:02
womens 100 would be 10.49
100-400 yes.
800: 1:33
1500: 2:59
3000: 6:45
5000: 11:40
This is with a continuous 20 MPH tailwind. Be aware this is equivalent to 9 MPS.

My first thought too.

Nope, tracks are not approximately like a circle, unless of course my house is approximately like the Taj Mahal.
It is idiotic to say, "I don't think that the OP should assume that the wind will follow the track." That IS the working assumption.
It is just as valid of an assumption as was the treadmill upon which the airplane was trying to take off. The fact that this scenario is unlikely to be found in the physical world is entirely irrelevant, making your statement completely idiotic.
The marathon would be what it is because it was.
They would all be much faster. All, except the marathon, of course. We've all learned here at LRC that the marathon distance is not affected by 20mph tailwinds.

The plane on the treadmill wouldn't be "trying to take off." It would be taking off. The plane would still move forward at the normal speed because the jets propel it relative to the surrounding air, not relative to the ground below. The treadmill would just make the wheels spin faster.

So, when you run you are not trying to run?
Sleep running?

I don't run anymore due to a career ending Achilles injury.
