Melbourne Track Classic 2010

When running a flying 60 as a back-up rep, how much of an acceleration zone is prescribe for the athlete? Also, how is this acceleration zone treated (e.g., are they driving to the start of the 60, taking a gradual, upright build-up, etc)? I guess I wonder the same about the initial 300 as well. I’m guessing this isn’t from a standing start. Does the athlete just take 5 meters or so to break inertia before hitting the start?

Forgive me if this kind of stuff is considered common sense or has been covered elsewhere.
