A positive measurement means that the wind is helping the runners and a negative measurement means that the runners had to work against the wind. So, for example, winds of −2.2m/s and +1.9m/s are legal, while a wind of +2.1m/s is too much assistance and considered illegal. The terms “tailwind” and “headwind” are also frequently used. A tailwind pushes the runners forward (+) while a headwind pushes the runners backwards (−)
