Impact or Turns on Running Performance

[Larry Wellman]

I'm looking for information about the impact of turn radius and bank
angle on running performance. I would like the equations instead a
reference. In reviewing mens indoor and outdoor world records there
is about a 3 percent difference below 400m and only about 1-2 percent
at distances greater then 800m. Is there a max. speed on turns?

Thanks,
