Calculate Wind Effect on Running Speed







Formula

The formula to calculate the wind effect on running speed is:

\[ \text{WE} = S + (W \times D \times C) \]

What is Wind Effect on Running?

The wind effect on running refers to how wind influences a runner's performance. Wind resistance can impact a runner's speed by either slowing them down when running into a headwind or potentially increasing their speed when running with a tailwind. The stronger the wind, the more significant its impact on performance. This effect also influences the runner's perceived effort and body temperature.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Using the formula to calculate the wind effect on running speed:

\[ \text{WE} = 10 + (5 \times 1 \times 0.02) = 10 + 0.1 = 10.10 \text{ km/h} \]

This means that with a headwind of 5 km/h, the wind effect on the running speed is an increase of 0.10 km/h, making the adjusted speed approximately 10.10 km/h.
