The thinking is that these guards spend a significant part of the run aiming at Bond down the entire length of the runway, and the end of the run is already more laggy due to explosions and other runway guards. It has always been done on SA out of necessity - these guards regularly blow up the plane - but on agent it was assumed that the extra grenade explosion would just make more lag, and so cost time if anything.

This involves looking upwards and throwing a grenade in the air. The grenade should travel roughly along your current path and then fall back to the ground and explode enough behind you to give you a boost.
