The Inside Track is a circular track that multiplies the dominant leg effect by keeping the inside leg moving only a short distance compared with every dropkick like stride of the outside leg. It's a circle like this O, that one can run in a very tight circumference. Needless to say, even without the
Inside Track incredible revolutions per dizziness can be produced. If the runner can run through the dizziness long enough, it is possible that one can attain mindless balance just through some kind of gyroscopic or centrifugal forces. As you run this tight circle watch the earth disappear from beneath your feet, and the walls take turns shooting over your head. Run alternate directions to keep legs balanced.

The finish line will be a problem. A rope would interfere with runners. A painted line won't be thin enough to avoid arguments. Maybe use a laser ? Part of the body will be running on the opposite side of the field. |

There's no running surface which is bendy, so it'd have to be plates: sensors to gauge what angle to put the plate at, based on runner's speed, and a laser pointer, shooting upwards from the middle of each plate, to indicate to the runner what angle their body should be at when they hit the plate. |

Or a fixed track with a curved cross-section: the runner decides where to hit the ground. |

Not necessarily, the way I've done it for years is counterbalanaing head and legs by leaning across the imaginary fulcrum in the centre of rotation. Honestly using this method you can run until youre almost flat on the ground sometimes. |

/When I was young I had this crazy idea that if I did this fast enough, I would be able to catch up to myself, and pat myself on the back./ |

A lot of dogs get this idea too, or something like it. |

Zeno's paradox might trip you up, or make you trip out one or the other, or both. |
