  3. [2] For a running juggler (a joggler) ball tosses are necessarily in synchronization with the movement of their legs. The time aloft for a ball is proportional to the toss height. A lower toss lands sooner, and one has to juggle faster. Thus for a joggler to go faster, he or she only has to toss the balls lower. This drives the legs faster, which increases the speed. The number of footfalls f per second for a given ball toss rateb is given by f(b)=1.5b . Lee Ling's speed (velocity) v as a function of his footfalls f per second is given by v(f)= 0.64f+0.81 . Lee Ling's speed per ball toss is given by:
    (vf) (b) = 0.96b+0.81
