Yeah - I understand the reason for run-ups when it relates to having to move around the starting gate to avoid wearing in something. But 70 yards?
Research suggests this run-up issue been around for a while - anyone want to estimate the run up to this Dr. Fager world record at a mile? Doesn't look anywhere close to 210 feet to me, but I'll defer to more expert views here.
One of my all time favorites.
