Hangzhou, the dawn of the dawn.

By the West Lake, the mist is filled, and the weeping willows are waving.

In the garden, the garden is full of greenery, flowers are full of branches, and birds are chirping, like songs and songs.

In the beautiful chirping, Xu Xincheng woke up from his sleep, he opened his eyes, slowly got up, walked slowly to the balcony, closed his eyes, opened his arms, and took several deep breaths of fresh and fragrant air.

Although it is the height of summer, the weather in Hangzhou in the past two or three days is very refreshing, cool and breezy, comfortable and pleasant.

He slowly opened his eyes, stood against the railing, looked up at the corner of the West Lake under the light mist not far away, looked down at the beautiful scenery of the garden in the gentle morning light in front of him, and listened to the warblers and birds in the flowers in the garden with bated breath.

The beautiful scenery in front of him made him feel good, and it made him feel better.

Suddenly, a thought, a small wish, was awakened in his heart.

Two years ago, Xu Xincheng saw a group of photographs on the Internet that focused on the trails by the West Lake, and at that time, he had an idea and a small wish, that is, to run around the West Lake.

But in the past two years, the opportunity to come to Hangzhou to the West Lake has not appeared, and the idea and the little wish have been slowly forgotten.

He looked up again at the corner of the West Lake, which was not far away, and muttered excitedly: "The West Lake is right in front of me, since there is such a good opportunity, of course I have to seize it." ”

Xu Xincheng simply freshened up, drank two large glasses of water, put on sportswear and running shoes, and soon walked out of the hotel gate, jogging comfortably along the path leading to the lake, enjoying the scenery along the way.

At 6:25, he came to the famous Su Causeway, the southern starting point of the Su Causeway, at this time, the light fog has dissipated, in the bright morning light, the magnificent scenery of the lake can be seen at a glance, finally, he stood on the beautiful and beautiful West Lake, finally, he saw the long-awaited West Lake scenery with his own eyes, and his heart could not help but surge with thousands of feelings.

However, Xu Xincheng also let himself enjoy the beautiful scenery for two or three minutes, and felt the beautiful feelings for two or three minutes, he did not forget the real purpose of coming here.

He gulped in the moist and fresh air with the smell of lake water, and warmed up with light jumps and stretches.

Just now, on the way here, he pondered in his heart, a circle around the West Lake is 11 kilometers, if it is just jogging, if you don't give yourself a time limit, if you stop in the middle to rest three or four times, in fact, it is not difficult to complete, but this time, he wants to give himself a challenge, to set a small goal for himself, this small goal is to run a lap in an hour, in 60 minutes.

Xu Xincheng likes challenges, he likes to set bigger goals for himself, he likes to work harder under the encouragement of greater challenges, and he likes to create greater possibilities and achievements under the encouragement of greater goals.

Today, he is about overcoming this greater challenge and achieving this greater goal.

But he knew that in order to successfully achieve this small goal, it was not possible to jump headlong into it immediately, and not to act immediately when it was unprepared, but to plan properly and be well prepared.

So, Xu Xincheng spent about ten minutes doing the following things:

First, investigate the information and understand the situation in detail.

He used his mobile phone to check the information and maps, and learned about the condition of the road in detail. He learned that: 1. The 3 kilometers of the Su Causeway are straight, and they are flat and spacious asphalt roads; 2. The other 8 kilometers are very complicated, with many curves, and they are basically small roads, most of which are stone roads, and some sections are even uneven stone roads.

Second, do a good job of adequate analysis and planning.

The goal now is to run 11 kilometers in 60 minutes, which means that the average time per kilometer is less than 5 minutes and 27 seconds.

This goal is actually a big challenge for him.

Although running is a hobby he has insisted on for more than ten years, he will run four or five times a week, but he has never carried out professional intensive training, and his usual running is also relaxation jogging, every two or three kilometers will stop to rest for a period of time, do relaxation exercises, do a few sets of pull-ups, sit-ups and push-ups, etc., and then continue to run, even if the state is good, he will not run more than eight kilometers.

It's too much, and even more so running.

When he was in college, he would participate in the 3-kilometer race every time he met the school games, but every time he competed, he focused more on participation, more about challenging himself than challenging others, because he knew that running was just his hobby after all, and he would definitely not be able to run those students who had received professional intensive training.

As the saying goes, "a gentleman has something to do, and he doesn't do something", in study and work, he will always strive for the first, but in running, he will not compete with others to win.

His personal best time for running the 3km is 12 minutes and 57 seconds, which is an average of 4 minutes and 19 seconds per kilometer, which is not bad. But that was created when he competed in the 3km race of the school sports day in his junior year, and he is going to challenge 11km today, which is far beyond the eight-kilometer limit he usually set for himself when running, and unlike the smooth and barrier-free plastic track, most of the sections this time are stone roads and stone roads.

However, he has just analyzed it, in the past two years, he has accumulated a lot of experience and physical fitness, although the study and work is very hard, but he has always maintained a good work and rest habits and exercise habits, and his physical condition is actually better than in the third year, so although this goal is a big challenge, it is an achievable goal.

Third, subdivide the target and do a good job in node inspection and management.

Xu Xincheng divided the goal into a number of small goals, and divided the 11 kilometers into 11 small goals, each kilometer is a small section, that is, a small goal, and each section must be completed within the set time.

At the end of each kilometer is a small node, in each small node to check whether the corresponding small goal has been completed, if not achieved, immediately summarize the reasons and lessons, and quickly make adjustments, the previous road section did not achieve the adjustment to the next road section to achieve.

In addition, in order to better achieve the goal, the first nine kilometers should be divided into three stages, the first stage is the first three kilometers, the second stage is the first six kilometers, which are two middle nodes, and at the end of the middle node must be checked, summarized and analyzed as a whole, and adjusted accordingly according to the completion situation. The third stage is the first nine kilometers, which is the big node, a key node.

Fourth, anticipate the difficulties you may encounter, be mentally prepared, and formulate corresponding countermeasures and solutions.

1. Today is Sunday, and it is expected that there will be more tourists who will travel and play in the morning by the West Lake. Especially in some large spots, there may be congestion.

Countermeasures and solutions 1, run as fast as possible in places with fewer tourists, and in places with more tourists, the speed can be slowed down, and use this section to relax yourself appropriately; Countermeasures and solutions 2, the 3 kilometers of the Su Causeway, the road is wide and flat, is the best section of the whole journey, in this section to run the best time, the average time of each kilometer of 3 kilometers, to control within 5 minutes, so as to buy more time for the other 8 kilometers of the road, for 81 seconds.

2. When you come to West Lake for the first time, you are easily attracted by the beautiful scenery of West Lake.

During the whole course of running, you can't be tempted by the beautiful scenery in front of you because you come to West Lake for the first time and see the beautiful scenery of West Lake for the first time.

The response and solution is to clarify the goal of this time and focus only on achieving this goal.

Although the goal of this time is not sightseeing, although he has been fascinated by the beautiful scenery of West Lake for many years, this time he has only one goal, that is, to run a lap in 60 minutes, so he can't spend even a little time and energy on other things that have nothing to do with this goal.

3. The first time I ran around the West Lake, I was completely unfamiliar with the road conditions.

Throughout the run, pay special attention to the road surface conditions and changes on each section. Especially on the stone roads or uneven stone roads, in those sections, if you are not careful, you will sprain your foot, and once you sprain, it is impossible to achieve this goal.

Countermeasures and solutions 1, do not look at the scenery of the West Lake throughout the whole process, always focus on the road conditions, eyes only look at the road surface, pedestrians and other obstacles; countermeasures and solutions 2, you must listen to audio books when you usually run, and you must use the time to learn to recharge, this time only focus on running, do not listen to audio books, and you can't listen to running music, running on such a special road surface, running in so many scenic spots with so many tourists, in addition to having to call yourself 100% In addition to vision, you must also call on your own 100% hearing, otherwise, accidents will occur if you are not careful.

Fourth, it is possible to encounter other unexpected difficulties and obstacles.

The response and solution is to be mentally prepared, not panic when encountering an accident, quickly adjust your mindset and state, and respond positively.
