On a running track, each lane runs around the two semicircular bends with a radius 1.21.2 m larger than the lane inside it, and the lane 11 runner's path on the bends has radius 3636 m. In a one-lap race (both straights and both bends), how many metres ahead of the lane 11 runner must the lane 44 runner start so that both run the same distance? Give the exact value.
