His glorious vessel brings news for all those interested in furthering their cardiovascular fitness, as a jumping regimen has now been specified.
First in order to re-establish what my trainer called a baseline, I warmed up by running back and forth in the normal sexy manner and being timed at 2:08 and 2:10, which were identical to the previous times. Enraged at this lack of progress, I fed my trainer to the Nine Spiders.
Lacking proper professional guidance, I ran the same two laps again this time jumping as much as my endurance would allow, which was 23 jumps each way. My times were 2:04 each way, an improvement of 4-6 seconds.
Lastly, I called the Nine Spiders out, their digestion requiring proper exercise, and we left on a strafe with extra calisthenics as shown above.
We strafed in a graceful manner across the beach twice to the setting sun, each time again managing 23 jumps. When the timer told me the times were 1:53 and 1:56 his throat was cut and the Spiders drank his blood. He offered his opinion that jumping actually propelled me in a direction which was at an angle to my actual movement, thereby negating any advantage that a runner would have if they jumped in the direction of their travel. He was right of course, but I don't take comments from food.
Jumping while running forward will increase your travel speed by 4% if you run about 4000 units, however the longer you run the less the benefit because you're front-loading your endurance.
Jumping while strafing will not increase your travel speed. It will however alter your line of travel over time because you do actually move in a different direction to your intended travel (which you don't have to worry about because after this you will never strafe-jump again).
