Switch

Watch the crossover
Draw right, attack back left
Press Play and check that M2 stays behind M1 throughout the crossover, with neither player stopping during the pass.
Protect the depth through the cross
Start slowly enough to keep the running lanes separate, then add pace without turning the pass forward or stopping either runner.
