Use the search button and you will find your answer.
The term is called strafe jumping.

Hello DanMoore, I assume you are referring to earlier today, when you saw me and Boozie and Waggot all moving REALLY fast to that temple thing.  That was called strafe jumping as Garret said.  To perform this you must be running forward with "w" and holding either "a" or "d" so that you are sort of running diagonal-ish, and then you jump while holding all of these.  This will make you move really fast, and learning the timing of when to hit the jump key is based on practice.

For right now, do what he said and just practice it.  You will get the hang of it soon enough.  Once you get good, you will be able to go around corners while moving at a high rate of speed.  Usually it is also best to hold the 'a' key if you are going to go to the left with your jumping and vise versa with the 'd' key.

Best way to jump high and run fast is to eat magical wonton soup.  Works wonders.
