Chapter 69: Pre-Match Preparation (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

Chen Qiang carefully looked at the nail running shoes of this era.

This is a pair of black running shoes, the outside is made of pure leather, Chen Qiang doesn't know what kind of animal skin it is made of, but it is very soft to the touch.

"Leather spiked shoes, I really didn't wear them in my previous life, I feel that the breathability is probably very average, and it's a pointed toe. I remember that it was recorded that the first running shoes were imitations of men's dress shoes, and it seems to be true, and these shoes really look like dress shoes. ”

Chen Qiang turned his running shoes over again and saw the nails on the soles.

This running shoe has nails on the forefoot and back of the foot, and the sole is flat, in order to prevent the nails from penetrating the sole and injuring the foot, there is also a layer of iron plate between the sole and the insoles. It is precisely because of this extra layer of iron plate that this nail running shoe is heavy.

Chen Qiang poked the shoe nails with his hand, and felt that this should not be an ordinary iron nail, but a more wear-resistant steel nail, this kind of wear-resistant steel nail, the domestic industrial capacity can not be produced, so the nail running shoes have to rely on imports.

"This shoe can't be passed on directly, it has to be changed." Chen Qiang's mind already had a plan to modify the nail running shoes.

The first step is to buckle the nails on the soles.

In later generations, the nails were all on the forefoot and the back heel was without nails. Because of the sprinting sport, the athlete cannot have a chance to land with the back heel during the run, so it is completely meaningless to add nails to the back heel, just add extra weight.

Historically, the running shoe with the removal of the back heel nail was only officially unveiled at the 1936 Olympics, and the person who designed the running shoe was named Adi Dassler, who was the founder of the sports giant brand Adidas.

In addition to removing the nails on the back heel, the iron plate on the sole of the shoe also had to be replaced, which was originally designed to prevent the spikes from breaking the insole, but with this iron plate, the weight of the running shoe also increased, which was not conducive to the athlete's strength.

Chen Qiang pondered whether he could replace this iron plate with something else, but if he couldn't find a replacement, it would be enough to use half an iron plate to put it on the sole of his foot, anyway, the iron nail on the heel of the heel would be removed, and without the iron nail, the iron plate would be useless.

In addition, Chen Qiang also wanted to change the curvature of the sole.

The nail running shoe in Chen Qiang's hand has a straight sole, while the nail running shoes of later generations have a folded angle at the part where the sole is connected to the sole of the foot. When athletes run fast, the main thing is to land on the soles of their feet, and if the sole has such a folded angle, it is more ergonomic design.

Although Chen Qiang is not a designer of running shoes, he has seen all kinds of running shoes, running shoes designed by major sports brands at home and abroad, are after countless accurate calculations and a large number of practical tests, only to study the design prototype, he casually plagiarized a future design, in all aspects can complete the running shoes of this era.

……

The next morning, Chen Qiang, along with other athletes from the Shanghai team, took the train back to Shanghai.

This time, Chen Qiang didn't worry about not being able to find a seat, he had the aura bonus of the National Games champion, and there were more people who gave up their seats to Chen Qiang.

People are so snobbish, when he came, Chen Qiang was just a rickshaw driver at the bottom of society, looked down on by everyone, and was also excluded by everyone, and when he went back, Chen Qiang was the champion of the National Games, and he was sought after and supported by everyone.

When the train arrived in Shanghai, Shanghai organized a welcome ceremony and held a commendation meeting the next day.

For Chen Qiang, these formal things are meaningless, just listening to the speeches of a group of leaders one by one, and there is not even a penny of bonuses, even if it is a small affordable prize such as a basin and toothbrush.

At the same time, the commendation meeting also announced that in order to prepare for the Far Eastern Games next month, all 170 athletes selected by the Chinese team will gather in Shanghai, and then conduct a one-month intensive training camp.

The opening ceremony of the 9th Far Eastern Games will be held on May 24, and given the time spent on the road, athletes should have left a week earlier, on May 17, to Tokyo.

Push forward a month, and the training camp will start on April 17. Chen Qiang returned to Shanghai on April 12, and the Shanghai commendation meeting was held on April 13, which means that Chen Qiang only has four days of rest.

At this time, Chen Qiang was a little lucky, he earned 180 oceans by selling milk powder, otherwise, from the beginning of the National Games to the end of the Far Eastern Games, it would be almost two months, he would not be able to pull a car to make money, and I am afraid that he would not be able to pay the rent.

……

During the four-day break, Chen Qiang first found a shoemaker to remodel the pair of nail running shoes.

It is difficult to find a cobbler in modern society, but in the past when materials were extremely scarce, even if a pair of cloth shoes was broken, they had to be sewn and repaired several times, and a pair of shoes was worn for ten years and eight years, and the soles and uppers were all worn out and worn out, which was a very normal thing.

In Shanghai, shoe repair is all over the street, and many shoemakers have opened shops to repair some expensive leather shoes, and the business is also very good.

According to Chen Qiang's requirements, the shoemaker transformed the running shoes, although it could not reach the level of running shoes in the future, but it was much more advanced than the running shoes of this era.

Then Chen Qiang went to tailor a cheap suit, after all, he was going abroad to participate in the competition, and he couldn't wear a tattered and tattered face for the Chinese, and a suit was definitely a must-have.

After everything was ready, the athletes who participated in the Far Eastern Games training camp have also arrived in Shanghai, and the training camp has begun.

……

The China Stadium, where the National Games trials were held before, has become a place for athletes to train.

As a 100-meter runner, Chen Qiang occupied a straight track alone for training, and his training only did one thing, that is, running, starting from the starting line to the finish line, then walking back, running again, and so on, repeating many times an hour.

Many people are puzzled by Chen Qiang's training method, and even the track and field coach of the Chinese team has expressed doubts, but Chen Qiang doesn't listen to the coach at all, and the coach's training level is not as high as Chen Qiang's own!

For Chen Qiang's unorganized and undisciplined behavior, the coach could only shake his head helplessly, and then ignore it.

As soon as Chen Qiang is the champion of the National Games, strength represents the right to speak, Chen Qiang has to say that I can run faster by practicing by myself, and the coach has no way to refute it, who let you, the coach, not train the champion of the National Games!

Second, this is also a temporary team, the athletes are all from all over the world, all provinces, and after the Far Eastern Games, they will go back to their respective homes to find their own mothers, and even the coach himself is a temporary recruit of temporary workers, so he can't compete with a certain athlete for this short-term training camp.

And the reason why Chen Qiang did this is, of course, to brush up on points.

He now has a 100-meter run in 12 seconds, which he can earn 10 points at a time, which is perfect for this kind of task in the training camp. And at night, these points can be converted into training in the training space, which is Chen Qiang's real killer feature.

During the day, Chen Qiang brushed up on the points of the day, and he was exhausted, but at night, after he entered the training space, he saw the four-digit points, and immediately felt that the hard work of the whole day was worth it.

He then went to the track and field in the training space, intending to hire a senior track and field coach.

On the electronic screen of the hired coach, there is a fourth photo, and at the same time, the space also prompts that the special track and field coach is unlocked.

"As I expected, the senior coach is not the highest level coach, and there are special coaches on top! I don't know if there are any higher-level coaches above the special coaches. ”

Chen Qiang looked at the price of hiring a special track and field coach, and he needed 10 points for an hour, which was twice as high as that of a senior track and field coach.

"Let's hire a two-hour stunt instructor to test the water!"
