Born to Run

"preparation!"

"run!"

In an athletic field at the Shenghai Xinzhuang Training Base, in front of the men’s 200-meter starting line, Nie Fangping looked at the two men leaning over before the starting line with his back on his back. He raised his right hand suddenly and shouted out the command with full breath.

The two silhouettes suddenly got up and accelerated on the third and fourth lanes of the starting line, and the sound of fast footsteps suddenly sounded out before the starting line.

After Nie Fangping shouted the exit order, he had been observing the fast running footsteps of the two players, his eyes fixed on the two moving figures.

5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds...

The difference in position between the two people in the track field from the number of forwards after the start, followed by the first curve, then the straight, the second curve, and the last straight.

The speed is very fast. If a sharp-eyed coach takes a look here, you can probably know that the two of them basically lie down and run at the top level in the country.

From the start, the two on the track showed completely different running styles.

There are slight differences in stride length, stride frequency, starting acceleration, and speed control during running. One of them was firmly locked in the advantage in the first three hundred meters. He was tall with long legs and had an advantage in stride. It wasn't until the last corner into the straight that his speed slowly dropped. On the other pass, the speed of the players was very well controlled. As they entered the final corner into the straight phase, they suddenly exerted force in the back and began to gradually catch up.

Thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters...

Cross the line!

The two figures crossed the finish line one after the other, their pace gradually slowed down, their chest and abdomen undulated violently, and they gasped heavily.

"Brother Yang, I won this trip!"

Ye Qin walked slowly on the runway for a while, and after his rapid breathing eased for a few minutes, he walked to the side of Yang Yao, who was holding his knees with his hands and sweating, and said with a smile.

"You can't run 400 meters, and you really can't move the last tens of meters."

Yang Yao stood up slowly, watching Ye Qin walk in front of him, a smile on his sweaty face. As he said, he turned his head to the side Nie Fangping and smiled, "Coach Nie, you can't keep catching me and Ye Qin for 400 meters, and if I lose again, I will have a psychological shadow on Ye Qinke in the future. "

"What?!" Nie Fangping shook his head and smiled, "Ye Qin is still far away from you. You haven't focused on 400 meters in your training in recent years. The long-term focus is on the one-to-two hundred-meter project. Physical fitness is unmatched. I haven't mastered it very well. If you have a special training for 400 meters, you can get 46 seconds for sure. Maybe the national men's 400 meters record would have been broken for you long ago."

"Don't..." Yang Yao repeatedly shook his head and said with a smile, "I'll run 200 meters and try to break the national record of 200. I want to run 400 meters specifically, and my coach must kill me. 400 meters nationwide Record, I think it’s better to wait for Ye Qin to break it!"

"Then Brother Yang, what if I broke the 200-meter record first?" Ye Qin suddenly interjected on the side, "Then you are going to run 100 meters?"

"Hey, Ye Qin, you see that I have been a training partner with you for two months, and you treat me that way. I don't want 400 and 200 to be kept, leave a hundred meters for me?"

"Hundred meters is the crown of track and field..." Ye Qin smiled.

"You are right. If you can break the national record in 100 meters, it will definitely be more influential than 200 meters and 400 meters." Yang Yao smiled, and then said, "Ye Qin, when will you come to run a hundred meters? Mi, I think in a few years, you will kill men one hundred, two hundred and four hundred, and slap all of us on the beach to death."

"Haha..."

There was a burst of laughter in the track and field.

"Yang Yao, you have to communicate with your coach if you have problems in the future. Now is the winter training. The most important time for improvement in the year. Next year, you will participate in the Olympics. In terms of details, you need to strengthen it."

After laughing for a while, Nie Fangping talked to Yang Yao about his training problem with some earnestness.

In these two months, according to Yang Yao's current situation of the competition, it is reasonable to need the coach to guide him and make a breakthrough before the Olympics as much as possible.

But the actual situation is that in the past few years, Yang Yao and his coaching relationship has not been particularly harmonious. In 2000, Yang Yao was able to break the national men's 200m record with a time of 20.86 seconds, but the improvement in the next two or three years was very slow.

It is a joke to say that Yeqin broke the national men's 400m record. There is still a long way to go. Nie Fangping has not dared to think about Yeqin breaking the national record for at least a year, but Yang Yao is away from the national men's 200m record. , Basically touched the side, he is also currently the most hopeful athlete to break the national men's 200-meter record.

Last year, the Asian Games ran 20.58 seconds, but Nie Fangping also observed that Yang Yao's systematic training plan may have encountered some minor problems.

During the period at the Shenghai Xinzhuang Training Base, Yang Yao basically came to train with Ye Qin every two or three days, which can be regarded as a training partner together. But Nie Fangping had met once when he met other coaches except on the first day he came, and he hadn't seen anyone at other times.

This is a ceiling period for athletes. Yang Yao can now basically run into 21 seconds casually, but except for the 20.58 of the runway at the Asian Games, they are basically concentrated in the stage of 20.7 and 20.8. It's hard to break through.

The feeling that this period brings to the athlete is that a kind of talent has already arrived, and it may be useless to train and work hard. In this period, apart from the athlete himself, the most important thing is the coach's training plan to help him out of this predicament.

Nie Fangping also had a more detailed observation. Yang Yao's 100 and 200 results are very good. He has a fast starting acceleration and good acceleration ability. Because of his height, he has a good stride frequency, and he is enviable. The stride.

Combining these factors, but Nie Fangping believes that Yang Yao's potential in the 100 and 200 meters should not have reached the end, the key is to tap this way. The other is that if Yang Yao focused on 400 meters from the beginning, his results may be even better than his current one or two hundred meters, and the national record may really be broken in his hands.

However, sometimes this is the case. In the sprint event, if you have the strength to run 100 meters and 200 meters, athletes will focus on this, after all, attention and influence are not a level.

"I know, Coach Nie." Yang Yao smiled and nodded. He first came over to talk to Ye Qin that morning after seeing Ye Qin and get to know him. After a few days, after Nie Fangping followed, he also Without seeing the outside, directly follow the two masters and apprentices to train together.

Although Nie Fangping is just a retired old coach of a sports school, in Yang Yao's eyes, this old man really has a lot of shining points.

He has experienced professional training for a long time, and it can be seen that Nie Fangping's professionalism is definitely not bad, and the more important thing is that his enthusiasm for the athletes he brings can very well infect him.

It’s also a warm-up trot in the morning. It doesn’t take much time for him and Yeqin to show up. Nie Fangping will basically appear on the sidelines. If you don’t talk about pointing or not, the kind of people who accompany you, you can see whenever you look up. An old man with white beard and hands walking slowly on the sidelines with his hands on his back is particularly reassuring.

He is a professional athlete. He can understand how difficult it is for a coach to do this. A coach is also a human. He has a family, children, and a life of his own. It is just a job and he can devote himself to cultivating a person. To be honest, apart from parents, it is very rare for an outsider to do this.

His own coach now basically doesn't care about him too much, and many of the coaches he has met, some of them are still very hard at training, but they care about all aspects of the players, which is too little.

So far, except for Nie Fangping, he has only seen the coach in charge who is also Shenghai 110m hurdler. From the year before last, the two masters and apprentices had no assistants and no translators. After applying for funding, he went abroad from low-level indoor competitions to grand prize Matches, one after another, came out like this by power-training. During this period, from registering for the competition to staying in a hotel to find a venue for training, all kinds of difficulties and hardships were hard, but it was not for outsiders.

"By the way, Coach Nie, Ye Qin, are you going to go back?" Yang Yao asked suddenly.

"Well, I will go back tomorrow." Ye Qin nodded.

Today is January 6, Xiaohan, the time has entered 2004, and there is not much time before the Spring Festival. Two months have passed since Yeqin arrived at the Xinzhuang training base in early November.

During the two months of training for the national team, Ye Qin was considered to be in contact with some national team players at the Xinzhuang training base. In addition to Yang Yao, he also met the athlete who ran the 110-meter hurdles. He also took a blood test on the national team. , X-ray fluoroscopy, with a lot of sports patches attached to test body data for running.

Generally speaking, in addition to food and accommodation conditions, training venues, and physical monitoring, Ye Chin did not particularly feel that the national team's training was special. Relatively speaking, it should be a relatively pure training. There are not too many people and things to interrupt, no classes, no need to meet a lot of people, and every day is fully arranged by training. Follow the training plan and proceed one by one.

It's a bit dull and boring, but the effect is actually very obvious. This is the second time Ye Chin has conducted such a mindless training after training at the Provincial Sports School in the summer vacation.

"Okay, then I will invite you to have a meal together tonight."

Yang Yao extended an invitation to the two of them, and turned his head to look at Ye Qin, "Ye Qin, May is a trial, but there are still more than two months to come. If you count the Olympic Games there are still seven or eight months, you can Come on, I'm still waiting for you to follow me to the Athens Olympics!"

In the past two months, Yang Yao also learned about Ye Qin's situation. Ye Qin is going to participate in the World Youth Championship in July this year, but Ye Qin is still a long way from reaching the Olympics, but it cannot be said that there is no chance.

The National Athletics Championships on May 23 this year is a trial for the Olympics. It is a nationwide selection of Olympic athletes.

But the domestic situation is different from the United States.

American track and field athletes need to go through the trials to participate in the Olympics and World Championships. No matter how good their previous results are, or even have world records, if they lose in the trials, they will not be able to participate in the Olympics. There are only three athletes participating in a single event of the Olympic track and field events, and the competition is very fierce. The U.S. Olympic track and field trials are even called the "Little Olympics".

The nature of the domestic trials is this. The difference is that the domestic track and field events are relatively weak. The Olympic track and field events have three places for the a target or one place for the b target. Often only one or two people across the country reach the a target, or some events even even the b target. No one has reached it. This means that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can basically achieve the required results, and basically have the opportunity to be selected for the Olympic squad.

Speaking of it, Yang Yao also discovered that his situation is a bit similar to Ye Qin's. In the 2000 Sydney Olympics, he was also working hard to qualify for the Olympic Games ab, but unfortunately he did not meet the competition standards in the end.

Similarly, that year, he also participated in the World Youth Championship held in Santiago, Chile. He ran the 200 meters in 20.96 seconds, ranking tenth at the time.

But this time, it depends on Ye Qin.

In the 2008 Olympic Games at home, it would be best if you can compete, but the athlete’s career is short and nothing can be said. If there is a chance, it is better to qualify for the competition earlier and meet the world’s top athletes. s Choice.

"Yeah." Ye Qin nodded. After Nie Fangping asked him if he wanted to participate in the Olympics for the first time, neither the master and the apprentice had talked about this topic again, but once the idea came out, it kept fermenting in his heart.

2004 is here!

There is the World Youth Championship, there is the Olympic Games!
