Mile addicts end with damage - such runners? (6-8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

middle-distance

'such runners?' is the definition.
(middle-distance running)

'mile addicts end with damage' is the wordplay.
'with damage' is an anagram indicator.
'mile'+'addicts'+'end'='mileaddictsend'
'mileaddictsend' anagrammed gives 'MIDDLE-DISTANCE'.

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
