Me and my friend did a test today on the tracks at uni, and we found the following
(we borrowed a tool the gym to get the info on windspeed).

Normal running:
windspeed -2.1m/s distance:100m time: 10.58 seconds

Retarded(naruto) running:
windspeed +2.6m/s distance:100m time: 14.13 seconds

Conclusion: even though the retarded running had a windspeed advantage, the technique in real life does not give any advantage at all

We did try to give the retarded running technique some advantage (ie. waiting for a better windpeed) but unfortunately lost

(ps. we did have a rest between the first 100m and the second time we did it)
