No. You don't want a starting block. Starting blocks are for the use of short (running/sprinting) events such as the 70m and 100m. The reason why we use starting blocks is to push off of something to get a fast start. Thus, you don't need/want one for the mile event as you should not be running as fast as you can all the way.

It all depends on what the person running the dash prefers. I personally don't know how to use a block, so I just run it without it. Blocks are highly recommended when running a 400m. Remember: it's a sprint. You don't see 100m dashers starting without blocks, so there's nothing different about starting blocks for the 400. If you don't know how to use blocks, you should really get some extra help from a coach or someone on the team who has experience. Using blocks will almost always cut down your time in any race.
Tim Duncan was starting center for the U.S. team in the 2004 Olympics where he averaged 12.9 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.25 blocks in eight games.
You finish 2 blocks east and 8 blocks south of your starting point.
3 blocks west
Fred's journey consists of moving two blocks north, three blocks east, and then two blocks south. After traveling north and south, his vertical position returns to the same horizontal line. However, the three blocks he moved east remain, meaning he is ultimately four blocks east from his starting position. Therefore, he is indeed four blocks from his starting place.
Kyoto will be 4 blocks west with reference to his/her starting point
When running a race on a track, the runners can be either coming out of the blocks (as in the 100-meter dash through the 400-meter dash) or can stand up at the start line (as in all longer distances). That's the standing start.
