its a pain in the ass man, only indoor place I have gone to I was able to run 25-30m max and risk spraining my ankle because its hard to stop on time before smoking the wall, even using mats to cushion the impact still hurts when i slam the thing. I have to deal with crazy winds that change direction all the time, cold, and rain rain rain. Vancouver

In Wisconsin, we have had the most challenging March due to weather in 10 years. 

The reason I hate indoor track is that the facilities are less than perfect for a meet.  Tonight, we run on a wood floor made for the game of basketball.  One day I would like to see the basketball team play on a rubberized track.
