Physics works in straight lines. The time you spend in the air after you jump is going to be very consistent. Even if you jump straight up, or at a 45 degree angle. Jumping at an angle will just decrease how high you jump. So, if you’re able to run at a speed that’s faster than the speed you jump upwards you’re going to jump further.
