Born to Run

?......

In a villa with a swimming pool in Kingston, Jamaica, Asafaville was lying on a lounger by the pool, looking at the busy crowd in the room, his face was full of helplessness.

At the beginning, he spent a lot of money to renovate this villa. Although his requirements for the living environment are not particularly high, most of the prize money and advertising endorsements of the competition were spent on modified cars, but he drove his own home. The start of an operation still made him feel distressed.

"Well, the steps have been removed and changed to a soft rubber aisle."

The agent, Dole, walked out of the room with a complicated look on his face and glanced at Asafaville.

"Thank you, Dole." Asafaville's left foot was placed on a stool, his face was slightly solemn, and his eyes seemed to be a little worried.

"Asafa, you have to be more careful in the future." Doller looked at Asafaville and shook his head helplessly.

On September 30 last year, Asafaville's last Super Track and Field event was held in Yokohama, Japan. Although he won the men's 200m championship, he injured his left leg ligament.

Finally, after a few months of rest and adjustment, the injury has recovered, and his personal condition has been adjusted to the best, he will go to Sydney to participate in the Sydney Grand Prix in February.

As a result, within a few hours of getting on the plane, Asafaville tripped on the steps of the house and injured him. He had four stitches on his left knee.

In fact, the situation of parents stumbled and injured is quite common in ordinary people's lives. Asafavir did not show any special performance for a period of time.

But yesterday the news of the men's 60-meter race in the indoor track and field championship came. Asafaville contacted him uncharacteristically, requesting that the steps in his home be changed to soft rubber aisles so that there would be no tripping.

"I'll pay attention, Dole." Although Asafaville's face was still calm, his heart was actually more anxious than anyone else.

It’s March now, and the time for the Olympics is getting closer. He was injured at this moment. Although he has recovered seven or eighty-eight, but if he lacks training for a long time, he wants to adjust his physical condition to the top. Status, it still takes a long time.

He actually considered participating in the indoor track and field championships this year. The original plan was to go to Valencia, Spain to compete after the Sydney Grand Prix in February, so as to recover his state as soon as possible through the competition.

As a result, he was injured in February and all of these were vanished.

During this period of time, the most training he did was swimming, and he could only maintain his state through this, but even so, without systematic sprint preparation training, he could not be sure whether he could still run the best results. In the second half of the Yanjing Olympics, it is even more necessary to face the challenges of two strong players, Yeqin and Jason Gaby.

...

United States, Arkansas.

In an indoor training hall, Jon Drummond and Lance Blauman are standing on the edge of the arena watching a figure that quickly skips the track. After the figure rushes out of the starting line, both coaches are He turned his attention to the timing instruments and camera equipment on the sidelines.

"The start has been significantly improved, but Jason's 10 to 20 meters ahead of the start acceleration is still not particularly advantageous." Jon Drummond frowned slightly, walked to the side and watched. After the start shot taken by the slow-speed camera, he said to Lance Blaumann next to him.

"There is nothing to correct the starting movement." Lance Blauman watched the footage in the camera along with him. The slow motion frame by frame made all Jason Gaby's movements clear. Unmistakable in front of the two.

"Jon, you turn on the slow-motion shots of the 100-meter start of Asafaville and Yechin, and let's make a set of comparisons." Lance Blauman suddenly spoke after watching Jason Gaby's recording video for a while. Said towards Jon Drummond.

"Okay." Jon Drummond very neatly put out the slow motion of the video of the 100-meter race between Asafaville and Yechin, and recorded the movements of the two and Jason Gaby just now. The shots together made a comparison.

"Did you see it, Jon?" Lance Blauman pointed to a scene in the video, and then said, "Asafaville and Yechin took an explosive start, three or four steps ahead of the start. , The footprint of the sole of the foot and the ground is very full, almost the entire sole, and Jason, only the front half of the sole.

In this way, although Jason reduced the touch time between the soles of the feet and the ground, it seemed to be advantageous, but after running three or four steps, we can see that full contact with the ground area can make the legs stay in the air longer. , The distance that can be moved in the air is longer.

The first two or three steps of the start may be slower than Jason Gaby, but at a distance of about 10 meters, a clear advantage can be obtained.

Moreover, Jason's pendulum start, the time of the left and right feet on the ground gave him a strong enough forward driving force, but at the same time, the tilt angle also sacrificed a certain forward driving force. "

"Yes, it sacrificed a certain amount of time for Jason in the first half." Jon Drummond nodded. Although he has not been instructing Jason Gaby for a long time, it has been more than a year for Jason. The technical characteristics of Sen Gaby are still very clear.

However, this is not the biggest problem. After all, whether the men's 100 meters or the men's 200 meters, athletes need a stage of accelerating acceleration.

The energy accumulation at the start is a little slower, but you can leave enough physical fitness to add up to the second half of the middle to completely add up the speed. This is the way many sprinters choose.

Many top sprinters do not suddenly increase their speed to the highest speed after the start, but have some reservations. This kind of reservation does not mean the kind of retention of water, but gives the body more sufficient acceleration, so that when the body enters the highest point of speed, it can increase the absolute speed to the highest point, so that when it finally crosses the finish line, it will naturally score. It will be better too.

"The biggest problem is that this way of running is a heavy burden for Jason." Lance Blauman saw Jon Drummond agree with him, and then continued.

Jason Gaby broke out in the second half of 2006 and became the world's top 100-meter sprinter in 2007. The starting guidance given by Jon Drummond is indispensable, but the bigger problem is still this. The starting method imposes on Jason Gaby’s physical burden.

"Coach, Jon, did I just run like this?"

Seeing that they were discussing the conversation, Jason Gaby came over from the other side and asked them.

"Jason, this year is the Olympics. I know you are in a hurry, but I hope you slow down. You can't get hurt. If you get hurt, that would be the biggest regret." Lance Blauman looked at Jie who came by. Sen Gaby said.

"But coach, my opponent has grown too fast." Jason Gaby shook his head. He has received the news that Yechin won the men's 60-meter indoor World Championships this year.

When he saw the score of 6.42 seconds, he couldn't believe it. He is very familiar with Yeqin's technical characteristics. The start was slower than him in the first half, but he actually ran a time of 6.42 seconds in the 60m race, which made him feel the pressure.

Jason Gaby’s current 60-meter best result is his 6.55 run at the Tyson Invitational on February 11, 2005. The Tyson Invitational was held at the Randall-Tyson Athletics Center once a year. Indoor track and field competition.

At that time, Jason Gaby’s 100 meters strength was definitely not as good as now~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But even if he improved his starting and his personal ability has been improved, he is not sure that he will be able to run into 6 now. Results within 50 seconds.

Sprinters are good at the first half and good at the second half. These two different characteristics make their strengths shown in different events very different.

"Jason, you are a professional athlete. I can understand your desire for an Olympic champion. I also know how unwilling you were to lose to Yeqin in the men's 100 and 200 meters last year, but you have to understand that you Only standing on the runway of the Yanjing Olympics in a full state is the first thing that needs to be done. Otherwise, once you are injured, all your expectations will be nothing but empty words."

Jason Gaby looked at Lance Blauman, then looked at Jon Drummond next to him. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on his face, "I forced myself to It’s too tight. Thank you, coach! Thank you, Jon!"

"It's okay, Jason!" Jon Drummond smiled and waved his hand. "Go home, Jason, it's okay to accompany your daughter. You need to stay with your family and children. We The season will not start until May. What is needed now is rest and adjustment."
