Been studying fluids, did you know that to reduce the drag over a non aerodynamically shaped object, it is better to increase the surface turbulence in order to reduce the overall pressure drag on the object?

Well you know now, who knows that that will come in handy for you all.

and on that note the light outside is quite amazing, pics time.

What is surface turbulence and how do I reduce it? I need to be able to run faster!

friction between the "fluid" (in this case air) and yourself, since the human body is not overly aerodynamic, it would be better to have rougher clothing in order to reduce the overall pressure drag behind you as you sprint.

HOWEVER

If you can create a triangle shaped object and stick it to your back, this pressure drag will be significantly reduced and you might get away with running naked as you wish to do.
