Chapter 140: Changing the Pace

"Zhen Long, you dragged me not back to the team, just to watch this game?"

Two slender young men emerged from the hallway and sat down in two seats behind the stadium's auditorium.

"Yes, Brother Dan, our badminton team played smoothly this time, and basically did not encounter too strong opponents. I heard the team leader say that another key point for us to win gold in Hedao City is the men's 100-meter event. Heck, that's a bit far away. ”

"Let's just look at it like this, I still have to prepare for the National Open when I go back, so I should relax today."

"Thank you Brother Dan for coming with me, hehe, I'll introduce you to you later. Wow, I really didn't expect Brother Zu to grow up so fast, last time the coach told me that Brother Zu broke the national record, I couldn't believe it. ”

……

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The finalists in this group should be the best athletes in the domestic athletics and sprinting industry today. ”

"From He Jun, to Gu Kai, Yin Hangchao, Shen Yunbao and others, these are all players at the level of 10.30 seconds and 10.40 seconds. Like Yang Guangzong, the main event is 200 meters, but generally his strength in 100 meters is also good, and it is also one of the top levels in China. Oh, the applause at the scene suddenly rang out warmly, and the host focused on the new history created by our athletes in the final introduction. ”

Many viewers at the scene and in front of the TV may not know that the Chinese track and field relay team ran a new Asian record of 38.28 seconds in the men's 4Γ—100m final of the Asian Championships last month with an extraordinary performance. This is also an excellent result in world athletics. After Yang Jian heard the host of the venue conference introduce the athletes, he mentioned the results of several athletes in the Asian Championships, and then explained to the audience in front of the TV.

Han Shengqiao's voice on the side also sounded: "The relay race of the Asian Championships is almost the top lineup and peak state of the current domestic sprinters, like Su Zu and Chen Jian are both within 10 seconds and 20 seconds, Shen Yunbao and Yang Guangzong are also able to run within 10 seconds and 30 seconds, this peak strength and the most perfect coordination have indeed created a miracle." Like this City Games, Su Zu, Chen Jian, and Yang Guangzong represent athletes from different cities, but they are all teammates of a relay team and partners who have been training together for a long time, and the eight athletes in the final are basically members of the national sprint team, which can be said to be a civil war. ”

"We are looking forward to the best performance from all the players in this City Games. Okay, the players are in place, the scene is quiet......"

During the discussion, the two track and field commentators of CCTV began to walk to the starting line after moving their hands and feet in place.

Su Zu stood in the fourth pass, glanced left and right at the athletes on the field, and slowly leaned down to keep his body still.

The athletes in this final are basically players who are familiar to Su Zu or have trained together in the same game.

The first is He Jun, the second is Yin Hangchao, the third is Gu Kai, the fourth is Su Zu, the fifth is Chen Jian, the sixth is Shen Yunbao, the seventh is Yang Guangzong, and the eighth is Zhang Fanbei.

Because it is a domestic competition, both the venue and the atmosphere make the athletes feel very relieved and steady.

At the moment when he first entered the venue, Su Zu was in the audience and saw someone holding a colorful plastic board with his name waving.

After one game after another, he made a name for himself in the track and field circles, and gradually began to have a group that knew him well.

"Readyβ€”" The voice of the starter with a strong Hunan accent came out.

Before the 100-meter starting line, all the athletes get up and make a starting position.

Syllable!

A crisp starting gun rang out.

Su Zu almost didn't have to think about it, the moment the gun sounded, his body suddenly exerted force, and his legs kicked the starting gear, and he had already rushed out.

His starting and posture this time, ordinary people may not notice. But if there are track and field enthusiasts or some coaches to do an analysis after the game, they will find that Su Zu's running posture this time has changed from before.

The left and right feet of his running have changed, and the position of the starting gear has also been adjusted.

Rewind the National Day holiday a month ago.

Hedao City Competition Management Center Athletics Stadium.

Li Zhizhong's brows furrowed tightly after watching Su Zu's two 100-meter races in a row.

I flipped out a notebook again, clicked on the videos recorded in the previous competitions and trainings, and sat directly on the ground on the side of the track and field to figure it out.

"Coach, you can't even celebrate the holiday, just accompany me to fool around in the stadium."

Su Zu dragged a 20-kilogram barbell plate, did several sprints in a row, slowly moved his muscles, and walked back to the sidelines.

"It's still at ease in the track and field, anyway, your senior sister went to college and won't come back on National Day. I'm going to have to be told to go home, so I'm going to study how you can improve next. ”

Li Zhizhong looked at the video footage in the notebook on his lap and replied without raising his head.

The two are also teachers and friends, and they come over step by step, and some parents are not shy about it.

Su Zu chuckled, after he went to Li Zhizhong's house a few times, he also knew that Comrade Li's status was not high. And because of the intense preparations in September, Li Yulin was supposed to be sent to college, but in the end he failed to make the trip, and just let Miao Zhiyun go, which has been repeated countless times.

"You come over and watch the video, I think the rhythm of your running may still be a bit of a problem."

Li Zhizhong looked at the video and greeted Su Zu, regardless of what he was thinking at this time.

Su Zu walked to Li Zhizhong's side, leaned his head in front of the computer, and observed carefully. These videos were recorded by several scientific research groups in the team following him in competitions and training, and some were recorded by the organizers of the competition, which were later obtained by the team and used for athlete analysis.

In the video, Su Zu looked at the last part of his running and sprinting on the way, because he ran fast and tried his best, he became a little hideous, and frowned slightly.

When an athlete is in full swing, there is no way to control his expression, if it is in the competition field, it is nothing to run quickly, it is recorded by someone, and analyzed frame by frame, all kinds of strange expressions will be delicate, and they can be used as emojis.

"I think you're still a little out of tune."

Li Zhizhong watched from the side for a while, raised his head and said to Su Zu, "I have seen the running methods of some top-level athletes, in comparison, the time for you to raise your head is still a little early, but the acceleration may not be so sufficient." ”

"Is there one?" Su Zu looked at the video and played it back and forth a few more times, "I didn't see it." ”

"It's not surprising that most of the runners you are competing in now are running in this way, and I used your video to make a comparison with the top runners in Europe and the United States. Our Asian athletes are mainly quick to react and be flexible, so the first half of the race can quickly enter the acceleration link. But this acceleration comes at the expense of a fast cadence. Therefore, you look like Shen Yunbao, after he can basically go up seven or eight meters, he has begun to raise his head and enter the stage of high-speed running. Therefore, the first half of the journey is particularly fast, but the weakening curve of physical fitness and speed is particularly obvious in the second half of the race. ”

"You have this problem too, but it's probably because of your height and long legs, which is much better. But I think there's room for improvement. If you control the rhythm again, the acceleration in the first half of the race is more sufficient, especially in the first five steps or so, and a slight increase in stride length is likely to bring more full results. ”

"Change the pace of your run?" Su Zu snorted lightly and bit his lower lip, "It's not easy to change this." ”

After such a long time of training and competition, Su Zu has also been enriching all kinds of theoretical knowledge, and the rhythm of athletes' running is something that cannot be seen or touched, and sometimes he doesn't know what the reason is. If you want to change, it's really impossible to talk about.

"We can think differently and change our physical habits. You're starting with your left foot behind and your right foot in front. You try it with your left foot in front and your right foot in the back. Moreover, I observed that according to the length of your legs, the position of the starting block is actually a little bit forward, adjust it backwards, not to make the starting gear as close to the starting line as possible, but to be able to give full play to the power of the thighs and calves in an instant. ”
