Born to Run

"27, 28, 29, 30..."

In the warm-up room on the other side of the indoor track and field of the Xinzhuang Training Base, Ye Qin was lying on a yoga mat. After silently counting thirty, he moved his body slightly and repeated the lower back movement toward the other side.

"Don't warm up too fast. You have to feel that your small muscles are stretched. Ye Qin, you are not completing the task. The purpose is to get your body active." Standing by, Chen Zhongzhou watched Ye Qin's warm-up actions. The time was a bit quick, and couldn't help but remind him aloud.

"Yeah, good." Ye Qin breathed a little heavy, and nodded to Chen Zhongzhou to be clear.

Under his body is a vibrating foam shaft made of EPP material, which is also a yoga shaft, which is mostly used for muscle relaxation after various exercises. But for Yeqin, it is a part of the basic warm-up before the game.

This is not the case in Yechin’s previous warm-up projects. This is a new warm-up method added after Randy Hunter coached Yechin.

Although there are already physical therapists who perform pre- and post-match muscle massage and relaxation, according to Randy Hunter's view, the athletes still have the clearest sense of mastery of the body. And in the domestic competitions, especially the indoor track and field championships, Ye Qin's physiotherapist Zhuang Wei did not come to Shenghai this time.

The foam roller can eliminate muscle tension and strengthen core muscle strength, flexibility to achieve balance of exercise, relieve tension of the fascia, and increase blood flow and soft tissue circulation.

The content of the warm-up is also very detailed, from the back muscles to the gluteal muscles, left and right quadriceps, left and right tibial anterior muscles, left and right Achilles tendons, and left and right hamstrings. Each muscle group is warmed up by foam shaft for 30 seconds.

Then came jogging, draping, stretching, etc. At this point, Yechin can clearly feel that the conditions and the environment are different, and the coach’s professional level is different. Although Randy Hunter No, but the warm-up plan that Chen Zhongzhou explained is far different from the content of Ye Qin's previous warm-up.

According to Randy Hunter, in every game, he must warm up for at least half an hour, or even more than an hour, to be truly meticulously preparing for the game. Only at this level can the body be fully mobilized. stand up.

After all the basic warm-up movements were completed, Ye Qin could already feel his body as if he were in a stove, his face was reddish, his breathing was hot, and his forehead was faintly stained with sweat.

"Take a rest, breathe, and we are about to enter the arena." Seeing Yeqin's warm-up, Chen Zhongzhou took Yeqin a bottle of water and asked him to properly hydrate.

Ye Qin slowly relaxed his muscles, took a small sip of the water, and moistened his throat slightly. In addition to jogging, the warm-up did not involve too intense exercise. The main thing was the same as before. There was a game in the morning. The body has been moved somewhat. Just now, his warm-ups tend to focus on meticulous small muscle groups and injury prevention exercises.

"Don't feel pressured, the champion is definitely yours." Chen Zhongzhou gently took over the mineral water in Ye Qin's hand and laughed softly.

Track and field competitions look at performance, but most of them refer to the situation where the level of each other is not big. For example, Yeqin's strength in the 400m event has reached 46 seconds in indoor competitions and 46 seconds in outdoor competitions. At present, the domestic can The challenges encountered have been very few.

"A bit excited."

Ye Qin smiled and replied that he ran the first shot in the morning and felt very good at that time. However, because the game was in the morning, it was not a complete activity, and people were not excited enough. In the afternoon, I still feel very good.

During a winter training, training does not stop, but overall the intensity is not bad. After all, the significance of winter training is also to reserve physical fitness.

Yechin’s main feeling is that there is very little competition. It has been almost half a year since the Athens Olympics. For him, even if he has training, he will return to the field, even if it is an indoor track and field championship. Coming to the arena where the level is not too high, all faintly made him feel a little bloody.

"Haha..." Chen Zhongzhou couldn't help but laugh. As he got more in touch, he learned more about Ye Qin's character. Young people are still very interesting. Sometimes they are calm and mature, but occasionally they will come up. Silly, shaking his head and smiling, "Don't be too excited, just relax, there are too many competitions this year, hold on, and try to reach the peak of the World Championships."

Seeing Chen Zhongzhou smiling happily, Ye Qin's smile became more intense, excited, and the feeling of returning to the game, as well as a winter training. He wanted to take a good look at himself.

There was no race before and I didn’t feel so difficult, but when I finished a race in the morning, I carefully adjusted my mentality before the race, rushed hard at the moment of the gunshots of the race, and finally crossed the finish line. It was really amazing.

"Wow—"

When the two were chatting and waiting, suddenly they heard a loud drum noise coming from the indoor track and field arena.

The voice is very loud, and it should be heard from the audience in the venue.

"what happened?"

Ye Qin and Chen Zhongzhou couldn't help but cast their gazes in the direction of the indoor track and field. If you count the time, there should have just been the men's 60-meter hurdles final.

"It's not Liu Yangyu what happened, right?"

Chen Zhongzhou didn't know exactly how to say that the track and field athletes who can suddenly cause such an uproar among the audience in the indoor track and field are currently not qualified except Liu Yangyu.

"Liu Yangyu was sent off for rushing!"

Just when Ye Qin and Chen Zhongzhou were not sure what was going on, news soon came from the sidelines.

"Isn't it?"

Ye Qin was a little confused when he heard this, and came to the Xinzhuang training base. Ye Qin met coach Sun Chaosheng. This was the first battle of the Year of the Rooster, and it was also the first time Liu Yangyu showed his glory in front of his hometown elders after the Athens Olympics. In the middle of last month, coach Sun and Liu Yangyu both returned to Shanghai ahead of schedule, in order to adapt to the temperature of the Xinzhuang playing field in advance. For this game, coach Sun Chaosheng said that it is more important to find the feeling of the game, experience the atmosphere of the game, and make a good start for this year's series of competitions.

As a result, Liu Yangyu had a steal in the men's 60-meter hurdles final. It's no wonder that the indoor track and field suddenly broke out in such a huge uproar.

Ye Qin knows Liu Yangyu’s starting skills. Nie Fangping once told him that Liu Yangyu’s start is very good, fast, crisp, and the accumulated experience in many competitions since 2000 has made Liu Yangyu's prediction for the start. Very good, basically many large-scale competitions can suppress the starting reaction to 0.140, 0.130 or less.

This kind of starting reaction is beyond the reach of Ye Chin. His starting start is now within 0.200, which is considered good.

However, it is precisely this starting point that inevitably made mistakes in some competitions, especially after the Athens Olympics, the other side's peaceful life was broken, and reporters were chased by the people every day, and the pressure was naturally conceivable.

At the first stop in my hometown, I naturally want to have an outstanding performance. Ye Qin guessed that these factors may have caused Liu Yangyu to appear impatient in the 60-meter indoor final.

"Okay, don't think about it." After Chen Zhongzhou saw the news, Ye Qin looked thoughtful, lightly patted his shoulder, and said seriously, "You don't have Liu Yangyu's pressure yet. Don't be impatient, um, even if you have the other party's accomplishments someday, you have to hold your heart firmly.

"Olympic champion, a miracle of the yellow race, Brother Chen, are you so confident in me?"

Ye Qin watched Chen Zhongzhou speak seriously and couldn't help but smiled and replied, the more you are on the track and the track, the more you can understand the difficulty of Liu Yangyu's achievement.

"I have confidence in you, your talent potential will not be worse than him, otherwise the team can form a training group and team around you." Chen Zhongzhou told his own ideas and accounted for, he really does not think Ye Qin will Worse than others, this is the champion seed.

Speaking of this, Chen Zhongzhou seemed to have heard something suddenly, and he said again, "By the way, I remembered a question. Last time Coach Randy asked you about your belief in the game. I heard you say a lot, and I am very moved. You I know his beliefs, what's the goal? You didn't seem to say this?"

"aims?"

Yeqin smiled lightly and looked up into the distance. He remembered the first time he played barefoot on the school cinder track~www.wuxiaspot.com~ remembered the first time he took a plane and the first time he went abroad to stand in Sherbrooke. The university’s track and field is the first to compete with talented individuals of the same age, and for the first time to participate in the Olympics. All kinds of things seem to be glimpsed, and when the word goal is said, they emerge one by one in front of them so quickly.

For a long time, it seems that the inspection side has been reminding the men's 400m runners to prepare to enter the field. Ye Qin took a deep breath, and his eyes were extremely firm. Athlete, I hope that when I stand on the field, everyone is paying attention to me and the moment I become me, I will work hard to do what I am good at and achieve the ultimate.

After the World Youth Championships and the Olympics, I actually thought about it for a long time. My former physical education teacher said that physical education will change my life. Now, it really makes me different. I used to study very hard, but my grades were not good at all. I am good at running, maybe I can't do my best in all aspects except running. My master, the former coach Nie Fangping fell ill after the World Youth Championship. He said that he could not continue to teach me. He told me, let me not disappoint the track. I have such a talent, then I must not let it down.

I want to be the best athlete in the world, to be remembered and talked about. When others talk about boxing champion Ali, when they talk about Pele, and Michael Jordan, they will also talk about me. "
