Foot slippage on wet pavement
Quote | Reply
So I was doing my normal Sunday hard brick run today in a slight rain on slick pavement and I can feel my feet slipping. It got me wondering how many seconds per mile at 6:00 min/mi pace is this slippage costing me. Any ideas?

Let food be thy medicine...

In general, seconds per minute stay fairly steady at 60.

your correction didnt help your cause. at 6:00 min/mi pace you are running 6:00 min /mile and you are doing it on wet pavement.

if on a normal effort and on dry pavement you go 6:00 min /mile. at the smae effort on wet pavement you go 6:08....then the wet pavement is costing you 8 seconds....i dont think there is any other way to sort it out.

personally dont find wet pavement slows me down very much at all unless there are tight corners. On a wet trail where the dirt turns to mud..then it sure does slow me down.
