Yes, good friend we're saying the same thing about the concept of +-ing a distance. I have no disagreement with your point. But I think if we suggest that someone run mile repeats in Lane 4, we ought to also inform them that these "miles" will end up being 81 meters longer than 1609.344m (an exact mile). At 7-minute pace those extra 81m will require 21 more seconds of running. Such a significant difference in measurement will cloud a runner's sense of pace and fitness.
