If you're racing a 600m in an open meeting would you use starting blocks or just do a crouch start? Obviously it's halfway between the 400m and 800m which makes it a bit tricky. I'm tending to think not to use blocks but curious about everyone's thoughts.

I've raced many 600s. Never once seen blocks used. You start it like an 800.
I think it would depend on wether you are more of an 800 kind of guy or a 400 kind of guy.
I've raced it a couple of times outdoors. We never even started in lanes, let alone in blocks.
Indoors you usually start in lanes.
