The video tutorial introduces the concept of distance/time graphs through a fitness challenge. It explains how to interpret these graphs, focusing on axes labeling and speed calculation. The tutorial uses race data to demonstrate graph analysis, comparing performances of participants like Izzy, Dave, and Phil. Key takeaways include understanding graph steepness, flat lines, and using tangents for speed determination.
