On a running track, each lane runs around the two semicircular bends with a radius m larger than the lane inside it, and the lane runner's path on the bends has radius m. In a one-lap race (both straights and both bends), how many metres ahead of the lane runner must the lane runner start so that both run the same distance? Give the exact value.
