Already soaked with sweat, he had been running for more than 5 hours now. But he didn't dare to slow down. He knows that there are still many projects ahead, and once it slows down, the pressure behind will increase.

At this moment, Yang Fan no longer felt any movement in his body, he no longer knew which muscle was providing the motivation to run, and he had even begun to feel the movement of his body. The sweat has already soaked his whole body, Yang Fan hopes that the sweat can flow out, so that he can reduce some "weight"!

Parker was the first to stand up, and he caught up with Yang Fan, and Evan ran after seeing it. They followed behind Yang Fan and encouraged him, although they knew that this would not reduce the 24,000 meters that Yang Fan had to run. But they just want to accompany Yang Fan to finish this journey, and it is easiest to establish friendship on the training ground and on the battlefield, because they are each other's only support. At the moment, the three of them are like this.

In fact, after 4 hours of running, Yang Fan could barely hear their encouragement. He could only hear his own wheezing and heartbeat, and he could also hear the concerned voices of his adoptive father, adoptive mother, and sister in his head, as if they were encouraging him. Sweat fell on the runway drop by drop, evaporating without a trace in an instant, Yang Fan was so thirsty now, he felt that he could drink a whole liter of water, but he didn't dare to touch the kettle hanging from his waist, he didn't want to add a little weight to his body.

Yang Fan knew that Evan and Parker were following behind, and he couldn't feel their presence at all. All he could perceive came from within, much like when his adoptive father taught him how to breathe inside to an ethereal state. Yang Fan felt that everything in the outside world had nothing to do with him anymore, and even his body and limbs seemed to be completely isolated from his thoughts, and he knew that he was approaching the edge of the limit.

He couldn't give up, so he continued to run, and when he saw the white finish line under his feet, all the strength in his body seemed to disappear in an instant, and Yang Fan finally fell.

This is followed by 100 pull-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 parallel bars arm flexion and extension, 5km weighted cross-country, and 500m swim.

Lunch and dinner lasted for 1 hour, and they were all delivered to the training ground by hand.

Today, all three of them vomited to varying degrees, and Yang Fan was the most serious, vomiting no less than a dozen times. Back in the dormitory, it was already past 1 o'clock in the morning.

Only then did the three of them understand why there was no one living in the whole building, and their dormitory had to be arranged on the 6th floor, after a day of training, each building seemed to be unattainable, and the three of them almost used their hands and feet to climb back to the dormitory. At this time, Evan also realized the advantage of the bed being 2 meters closer to the door, but he didn't even have the strength to express his gratitude to Yang Fan.

Instructor 2 stood at the door of the dormitory, and he called Rachel, who simply bandaged them and left.

Before leaving, Instructor No. 2 said to the three of them: "Today is just a trial, you should see the gap, gather on time at 4:30 tomorrow morning, and the training program will remain the same." After that, increase the amount of training by 20% each week, until we believe that your physical fitness is the minimum and then we will start the higher level of physical extreme training and Hell Week training for special forces selection. ”

"SAS standards!" Instructor No. 2 emphasized one more sentence. Then, he turned around and left the dormitory.

After the instructor left, the three of them didn't even say a word, and they all fell asleep. They weren't worried about what the instructor said, because they knew they were far away, and all they had to worry about now was how to live tomorrow.

Yang Fan just closed his eyes, and his adoptive father's voice seemed to come from his ears: "Have you done today's breathing?" The long-term accumulation of our internal boxing must not be interrupted. He woke up and wanted to sit up and do a breathing spell. He felt that it was difficult to even sit up, so he kept his current posture and used the breathing method taught by his adoptive father to perform pranayama, and lying on the bed was not conducive to the flow of breath. After a while, he seemed to feel a lot more comfortable, and his strength was gradually recovering.

After a day of high-intensity exercise today, Yang Fan had almost no time to adjust his breathing to do this pranayama method. He recognized his flaw, when he was at home before, he used to run the breathing method under the best conditions of his body, which was not good. In actual combat, the time when it is really used is often in an extreme environment, Yang Fan secretly determined to gradually make up for this deficiency in the future training, learn to use a very short time for pranayama, and even in exercise, in the extreme state.

4:30 a.m. the next day. The three of them showed up on time at the training ground, and today they only saw Instructor No. 2, and Instructor No. 1 did not know where to go. Evan and Parker are in even worse shape than they were yesterday, and a short break is simply not enough to recover from yesterday's overload. Yang Fan has basically recovered his strength today after pranayama according to the method of breathing last night, except for some muscle soreness, there is almost no difference from yesterday.

Instructor 2 also noticed this problem, and he was very surprised, according to common sense, they should be in worse fitness today, and it will take 1-2 weeks to get used to this intensity before slowly recovering, and then gradually increase the amount of training. He picked up a pen and wrote down today's situation in Yang Fan's training record.

In the afternoon, at 18:45, the three completed the last set of parallel bars arm flexion, which took 1 hour longer than yesterday.

Evan sat on the ground and panted and asked, "Newcomer, how did you recover?" It feels like you're better than you were yesterday. ”

Parker lay flat on the ground, panting heavily, as if he wanted to suck all the oxygen in the base into his lungs, and also pointed at Yang Fan, but he didn't say a word.

Yang Fan first tried to adjust his breathing as much as possible, and then used this short gap to quickly run the breathing method taught by his adoptive father. While pranayama, he explained to Evan and Parker: "My adoptive father has taught a set of breathing methods, which is to relieve the fatigue of the body and improve the functions of the heart, lungs and body through the flow of breath in the body. ”

"Huh? This won't be the legendary Chinese kung fu, the kind of eaves that walk on the wall and kill people in the air. Evan asked, still panting and staccato in his speech.

Yang Fan had almost adjusted his breathing at this time, and said with a smile: "That's all a lie!" This set of breathing methods is in line with my family Taijiquan and is the foundation of Neijiaquan. If it is still possible to practice hard qigong, the principle is the same. As for what you're talking about, don't even think about it, there's no such thing in this world. Otherwise, the Chinese people would not all be world champions. ”

Evan struggled to climb to Yang Fan's side, tugged at his sleeve, and said, "I said Daxia, can you teach me?" I don't expect to be a superman like you, but at least help me get through the 18 months of training. ”

Parker also sat up and looked at them, just gasping for breath, unable to say a word, and pointed at himself with his hand, as if to say, don't forget me.

Yang Fan stood up and said, "Yes, for now, the three of us must be friends!" And we will have to suffer together for a long time, and I will not be stingy with these things. All the inner boxing in Huaxia pays attention to the accumulation of a long time, and they are all practiced from a young age, you must not be in a hurry! There are still some drawbacks to this method of breathing, and I am also working on it, and we will communicate together when the time comes. In the first six months or a year, you may not see any results, and you will be burdened by the practice. After a year, you will be able to appreciate its effects. ”

Evan was obviously a little disappointed, hesitated slightly, and said, "No problem, hero. I'm tired and I have to learn, so I'll start tomorrow... No! Get started today. ”

Parker next to him also said: "Me too, if you miss this kind of thing, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life." ”

Yang Fan stepped forward and pulled up the two of them, and walked towards the weight-bearing off-road field behind the base.

A month has passed, and as Instructor No. 1 said, their training volume has been adjusted every week, but not by as much as 20%. The three of them are also gradually adapting, and their training performance and physical fitness have improved significantly. Among them, the most obvious improvement is Yang Fan, who is now able to quickly recover his strength and adjust his state by running the breathing method in a very short time. As he trained harder, so did his performances, widening the gap between Parker and Evan.

Evan and Parker insisted on practicing the breathing method every night before going to bed, and never stopped. Occasionally, when I get up early, I will practice breathlessness with Yang Fan, and Yang Fan's apnea time has finally exceeded 4 minutes.

By the second month, the trio had basically adjusted to the intensity of training, and Evan and Parker were basically able to complete their training content. Even if there are occasional deficiencies, they will accompany Yang Fan to be punished together, and the physical fitness of the three of them has improved significantly.

And Evan and Parker also felt more and more that Yang Fan's breathing method was very effective, I don't know if it was a psychological suggestion, although they could not achieve the effect of helping to recover physical strength and improve physical functions, but it significantly shortened the time for them to recover from exhaustion.

December 23rd. The three of them have been training for more than 3 months, and Instructor No. 1 is extrajudicial and asks them to go to the old base tomorrow morning to do a physical examination and systematic physical index assessment, and then have 2 days off. In addition to not being able to leave California, they can take advantage of these two days to relax.

On December 26, all three of them must return to their new base to prepare for the hell week training that SAS selects new recruits.
