Some tips to keep in mind if you go ahead with this:

1. Point your camera in one direction and keep it that way. Don't keep turning back and forth to try to capture the runners' fronts and their backs. That'll just result in you missing other runners as they go by. I (and, I assume, many here) prefer fronts.
2. Framing is important. Try to frame your videos so that the runners' entire bodies are on view at all times. Don't point the camera too low so that their faces are left out of frame, but not so high that we miss their lower halves either. Depending on how wide the field of runners is (the "running lane" for these streaks is typically pretty narrow), portrait mode may actually be best, as opposed to landscape.
3. Hold the camera steady.
4. Hold the camera steady.
5. Hold. The camera. Steady. ಠ_ಠ

Looking forward to whatever you're able to record!

Thanks
