Chapter 160: Overcoming Challenges and Achieving Goals

When everything was ready, Xu Xincheng cheered himself up, and he said to himself firmly: "I will definitely be able to do it! I will definitely be able to do it! I will definitely be able to achieve this goal! I will definitely be able to run a lap around the West Lake in 60 minutes!"

He took a few big and deep breaths as he made a starting stance.

5,4,3,2,1。

Xu Xincheng pressed the start button on the running app and took the first step to achieve his goal.

In the first kilometer, according to experience, the body is in the adaptation period, so although the body is in a state of full power at the moment, he still only adjusts the load rate of the body to about 70%. The first kilometer was completed quickly, it was very easy, and it took 5 minutes and 16 seconds to do a small node check.

In the second kilometer, he felt that he was in very good physical condition at this time, so he increased the load rate to about 75% and increased his speed. After the second kilometer was finished, it was still very easy, and it took 4 minutes and 57 seconds to do a small node check.

In the third kilometer, he felt that his body was completely in the best condition at this time, and the road was wide and smooth, there were few tourists on the road, and he was very comfortable and comfortable running, so he increased the load rate to about 80% and increased the speed. The third kilometer was completed and the small node was checked, which took 4 minutes and 42 seconds.

The total time spent in the first three kilometers was 14 minutes and 55 seconds, which was very good.

In the fourth kilometer, it began to enter the curve, and the width of the road surface changed from six or seven meters to about three meters at once, from asphalt road to stone road, fortunately, there are few tourists on this road, and the physical strength is still very abundant, and the speed is maintained. After the run, the small node check was done, and the time was 4 minutes and 55 seconds.

The fifth kilometer took 5 minutes and 01 seconds.

In the sixth kilometer, he began to feel a little sore in his legs, he was already sweating profusely, his breathing and heartbeat began to be a little rapid, and he had to slow down a little. After the run, I did a small node check, which took 5 minutes and 27 seconds.

In the second phase of the mid-node inspection, the total time spent on the first six kilometers was 30 minutes and 18 seconds, and the average time spent per kilometer was 5 minutes and 3 seconds, which was a very good result, and the completion was much better than the initial goal. Come on!

In the seventh kilometer, there are a lot of tourists on this section, and he can't run too fast, otherwise he may hit someone, so he reduced his speed a little, and by the way, he made adjustments and relaxed. After the run, the small node check was done, and the time was 5 minutes and 41 seconds.

The eighth kilometer, the previous seven kilometers have been running by the lake, and he can always see the West Lake, but this section is not by the lake, he shuttles between various buildings, and the road under his feet has changed from the original stone road to an uneven stone road, and there are some small stone bridges, he has to be especially careful every step he takes in this section.

This section of the road is also the most concentrated place for tourists, and along the way met three tour groups, tourists stopped by the roadside to visit, take pictures in front of the attractions, there is no way, only to walk through.

He told himself that there was no need to panic, that this was expected, and that the first seven kilometers had been done very well, and that he had bought some more time for the rest of the road, and that he could take advantage of this opportunity to take a good rest and relax. The eighth kilometer was completed in 6 minutes and 20 seconds.

In the ninth kilometer, the road conditions are still the same, there are still the same number of tourists, and the most unexpected thing is that while running, he actually ran to the gate of a garden, and the security guard at the gate told him that this is a private club, and there is no exit in front. Oh, my God!

But he doesn't have time to complain, and it's completely useless to complain, the first thing to do is to accept the fait accompli in front of him and act quickly to remedy it.

In the third second after hearing the news from the security guard, he turned around and turned back the way he came, ran back about 100 meters, returned to the fork in the road, and then ran to the other road at the fork.

He ran into a path that was only about 1.5 meters wide, and suddenly felt a little apprehensive in his heart, so he quickly clicked on the APP and zoomed in to view the map inside. According to the map display, the direction is right, the position at the moment is not too far from the lake, he ran forward more than 200 meters, it is still a small road, he began to be a little uneasy, ran more than 50 meters, the road turned to the left, the road under his feet became wider, he ran into a cement road about 3 meters wide.

He ran about 200 meters again, and finally saw the West Lake again, and he was relieved. The ninth kilometer was completed in an exaggerated 7 minutes and 26 seconds.

Hurry up and do the first three stages of the big node check and summary, the first nine kilometers to finish, a total of 49 minutes and 45 seconds.

The tenth kilometer, there are still two kilometers, hurry up and do an analysis, there are only 10 minutes and 15 seconds left, and the next time for each kilometer must be controlled within 5 minutes and 07 seconds, otherwise the goal will not be achieved.

Even in normal times, it takes a certain amount of effort to reach the time, and now that I have run nine kilometers, my physical strength is almost exhausted.

At this time, he really realized that the goal of running around the West Lake in 60 minutes was much more difficult than he expected.

Now, he has two choices, first, choose to give up and stop, and second, choose to persevere and do his best.

At this moment, he felt extremely tired, his legs had a very strong soreness, his whole body was completely soaked, even his socks were soaked, his heartbeat at this moment was almost to the point that his heart felt some pain, and his heart was obviously in a state of overload.

Moreover, because of the severe lack of oxygen in his body, his willpower has been greatly weakened, and both the extremely tired body and the weak will are constantly telling him: "Choose the first option, choose to give up, stop, stop, stop." ”

However, there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him: "Choose the second option, choose to persevere, you have to persevere, you have to achieve the goal." ”

The voice came from the deepest part of his heart, firm and determined.

Xu Xincheng decided to listen to this voice and decided to choose to persevere, he quickly adjusted his mentality and said to himself: "No matter what, the goal must be achieved, and for the sake of the goal, I will let go!"

At this moment, his strong ambition to achieve the goal ignited the reserve energy contained in the body, and those huge energies quickly spread throughout the body, to every cell in the body, and the eyes that had just become blurred became firm and persistent at this moment, and the pace became steady and powerful, persistent, persistent, accelerated, kept accelerating, increasing the pace, and constantly increasing the pace.

The 10th kilometer was completed in 5 minutes and 10 seconds. Okay, keep persevering, and you're about to achieve your goals.

The eleventh kilometer, the last kilometer.

He continued to accelerate, his powerful mind counteracting the intense pain all over his body, the intense nausea that had arisen since the ninth kilometer, and the heartbeat, which he could feel as fast as it had ever reached before, as if it were about to jump out of his chest.

"We must persevere, we must achieve our goals!" Xu Xincheng said to himself.

At this moment, the strong belief that the goal must be achieved ignited all the remaining reserve energy in his body, and it burned violently, and the burning powerful energy was injected into his legs, driving those legs to run quickly and powerfully, pushing him towards the finish line, pushing him forward continuously, pushing and pushing.

In the last 700 meters, victory is in sight, no matter what, you can't give up, accelerate, and accelerate again.

The last 500 meters, the last 400 meters, the last 300 meters, the last 200 meters.

Yes, it's almost there, he sees where the start is, he makes the final sprint, and keeps accelerating, and accelerating, and accelerating, and accelerating.

In the last 100 meters, he used all the strength he had left to launch the final sprint.

90 meters, 80 meters, 70 meters, 60 meters, 50 meters, 40 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters, 10 meters, 8 meters, 6 meters, 4 meters, 2 meters, 1 meter, punch line!!

It's done! It's done!!! It's done! It's done!

He clicked the stop button on the running app, and the whole process took 59 minutes and 55 seconds.

Success! Success! Success!!

He managed to achieve his goal of running one lap around West Lake in 60 minutes!!

At this moment, he was completely out of breath, the nausea in his stomach and the pain in his body had reached the limit, his legs were also painful to the limit, his legs were weak and weak to the point that he could not stand steadily, but he could not sit down, let alone lie down, at this time, if he sat down or lay down, it would cause great damage to the body, which may lead to cramps or cramps, and may even lead to serious consequences such as cardiac arrest.

Therefore, no matter how painful and uncomfortable it is at the moment, he must take a walk, he must do relaxation exercises, and his legs must not stop.

At this moment, his body is in extreme pain, but his heart is extremely happy and satisfied.

After walking by the lake for about 5 minutes, his qi finally eased, and the feeling of nausea and pain also subsided slightly, at this time, he gathered all the strength that had just recovered a little bit, faced the beautiful West Lake, raised his hands, and shouted at the West Lake: "I succeed!!ed!

Yes, he succeeded, he managed to overcome the challenges and succeeded in achieving his goals!!
