      @finch2213 3 года назад +3

      Ever seen the movie Days of Thunder? That’s where I first heard of the sling shot pass. It’s about car racing but same principle. The runner behind the leader runs in the wind draft so they can move at the same speed with less wind resistance and conserve energy. Then when they want to pass, they move around the leader and slingshot past them. I suppose it seems theoretical (perhaps it’s maybe even psychological) until you experience it. Which I never have. Anyway, good movie. Slingshot pass happens. Tom cruise wins.

    • @gmaxsfoodfitness3035
      @gmaxsfoodfitness3035 2 года назад

      @@finch2213 In Nick's case he meant sling shot off the turn. That centrifugal force from running the curve can be used as a boost aka slingshot as you start running in a straight line. The term is used in the 200m a lot which only has one turn outdoors (indoors has 2 turns) and smart sprinters know how to use it while using less energy than other runners and gain an advantage.
