If you have a headwind, which is very commonly 30 knots or more, then in this plane you are barely moving. So, it would be hard to reliably get anywhere at all.

Training flights are mostly in the vicinity of the airport so speed and range matters less. But you do still have to get places (eg the practice area and back) and a really slow plane is going to make a difference in the number of flight hours you need to accomplish the missions.
