Xinzhuang national team training base track and field.

The sound of fast footsteps resounded across the runway, and on the standard runway of four hundred meters, a figure passed quickly one after another.

"39.12 seconds!"

Before the finish line, the results are displayed on the standard international chronograph board.

"It's slow! Su Zu, why did you slow down when you handed over the baton just now?! And you Yang Guangzong, you have to start fast, you have to be fast, you know! They're all chasing you behind your ass, and they're still slow. ”

Yuan Guohua, the head coach of the Chinese relay team, angrily rushed from the sidelines of the field into the arena and yelled at several athletes who were still breathless.

"Chen Jian, you were about to lose the baton when you took over just now, are you and He Jun enemies, the action is a mess, and it is a waste of time."

"Take a three-minute break and come to the next set. The order is adjusted again, Su Zu is the first bat, Chen Jian is the second, He Jun is the third, and Yang Guangzong is the fourth. ”

After yelling a few times, Yuan Guohua threw down a sentence, and didn't care about a few athletes, so he hurriedly ran to the side of the track.

The newly appointed assistant coaches of the relay team, Li Zhizhong and Mak Shaoqiang, are staring at the video recorded by the camera, constantly pausing and repeatedly observing the details of the movements of the athletes when handing over the baton.

At this time, only the national team training base has such good conditions, and on the entire training ground, four fully automatic cameras move quickly along the track of the track of the stadium to take pictures, which can completely follow the running of the athletes and record all the movements.

"What's the problem?" As soon as Yuan Guohua came over, he also followed a few people to lie on the side of the runway and watch it in front of the computer for a few days.

"In the first stick, Su Zu's speed did not reach the extreme, according to Su Zu's best 60 meters 6.48 seconds to calculate his results in various periods, the first 60 meters are obviously slow. It may be that he is not good enough in the cornering technique, and when he is about to enter the relay area, the speed is raised, but it is also close to the end. The acceleration in front of Yang Guangzong in the second stick was obviously not enough, you see, when he entered the relay area at the end, Su Zu had a slowing down action, otherwise the two of them would have pushed each other. ”

Mak Shaoqiang pointed to the detailed video of the first and second sticks running on the screen, and pointed out the problem just now.

"Well, there's a problem with that, but it's normal that the time in the corners doesn't reach the speed of the straights. However, it can still be seen that Su Zu's cornering skills have improved a lot. ”

Yuan Guohua watched the handover of the first and second sticks, and the anger at several athletes disappeared, but he smiled and said to Li Zhizhong.

"It's still not enough, Su Zu is not accurate enough in grasping the inside line, and when the speed is raised, the person is too biased to the outside, and he doesn't increase the speed to the extreme."

Li Zhizhong shook his head, and did not have any politeness because Su Zu was a member of the team he led, and said his shortcomings very bluntly.

"The third and fourth stick combination of He Jun and Chen Jian is also not satisfactory. Let's take a look at the results of the next group, and make a detailed statistical analysis of the performance levels of the athletes in each baseball class, individually and as a whole. See how they perform at every bar. ”

In the final of last year's Asian Athletics Championships, the order of the relay team was Shen Yunbao first, Yang Guangzong second, Chen Jian third, and Su Zu fourth. Although the results were amazing at that time, setting an Asian record, but in the final analysis, it was a stopgap measure, and now that there is time, several coaches have to let each athlete run and run in each league to see if there can be a more advantageous combination.

This combination is not only the ultimate speed of the respective athletes in different baton times, but also a test of the tacit understanding of the two team members who hand over the baton. Like the same fourth stick, Chen Jian's speed of handing over the baton to Su Zu was faster than Yang Guangzong's handing over the baton to Su Zu. This is due to the relatively short distance of the third stick of the corner, and also the reason that Yang Guangzong and Su Zu do not have enough tacit understanding with each other.

A month has passed since the men's sprint team decided on March 20 to prepare for the Olympics, and the time for the Olympics is getting closer and closer, and training is almost a race against time.

"By the way, Shen Yunbao will return to the team for training after participating in the second stop of the National Grand Prix tomorrow, and then it is estimated that he will participate in the Grand Prix Finals. Coach Li, did you really think about letting that Su Zu give up the IAAF Grand Prix? ”

……

On the field, four athletes who had just finished a relay race were standing together to rest.

Yang Guangzong took a few bottles of mineral water from the box on the side of the arena and threw them to a few people who were wiping their sweat next to him, and then took another bottle for himself and took a small sip of moist and dry throat.

"Su Zu, the next time you run the first stick, I have to speed up more fully, otherwise I will be pushed too hard by you."

"Go back and give me a try."

Su Zu nodded, just this group, he ran the first baton and Yang Guangzong's baton handover really had a lot of problems. The reason for the team to arrange him to run the first stick is also simple, that is, they want to use his sprint speed to "catch" the team in front of them, try the effect, and he can also hone his skills in cornering.

Now the training is out of order, he starts from the first bat, then the second, the third and the fourth, and the other team members arrange the most advantageous pass arrangement according to his baton combination, through the athlete's personal feelings, coach observation, and video recorded multiple training data.

"Shen Yunbao should be able to win the championship this time." He Jun took a sip of saliva, rinsed his mouth, spit on the lawn by the runway, raised his head and said to a few people.

He Jun is a native of Shuangqing City, has not been in the national team for a long time, last year in the Asian Championships relay race for Yin Hangchao ran the preliminaries of the relay race, the personal level is also good, last year's City Games also ran within 10 seconds 30. Both Shi and Su Zu were the main substitutes for the relay race.

Now the first team of the track and field men's team is mainly Su Zu, Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong, Shen Yunbao, He Jun and Yin Hangchao. There are also several other young athletes with good strength, who are in the youth team and the second team.

"It shouldn't be a problem." Yang Guangzong swallowed the water slowly and said, "Lao Shen has not caught up with the good times all these years, he met Chen Jian in a good state a few years ago, and then his state has been unstable, and he has not won a weighty award in his personal projects. ”

"Don't look at me, I've only recovered from the previous two years." Chen Jian looked at Yang Guangzong and pointed at him, and immediately smiled, "Last year, I was in a good state, but I met an even more perverted one." He blinked as he spoke, and looked at Su Zu.

Su Zu watched Chen Jian pull the topic to himself, but he didn't take this stubble, everyone was a competitor, and they were also teammates. On the contrary, he still said Shen Yunbao, "Brother Shen is in very good shape this year, the last time he seemed to run to 10.25 seconds, it is estimated that Coach Yuan also saw that he had never won any awards, so he agreed to participate in the Grand Prix." ”

"Anyway, if you and Chen Jian don't go, the 100-meter championship of the Grand Prix should be his." Yang Guangzong said with a smile, among the four people present, Su Zu, Chen Jian, and Yang Guangzong have all won the Grand Prix, and they look at this award much lightly. As a teammate, Shen Yunbao is already twenty-seven or eighteen, and he wants to retire, and he is happy to win more awards.

"By the way, Su Zu, the IAAF's Golden League, you really won't go?"

Speaking of the competition, Chen Jian remembered what the coach said last time that Su Zu gave up the IAAF Golden League and concentrated on preparing for the Olympics.

Yang Guangzong and He Jun also turned their heads to listen when they heard this. Yang Guangzong is better, he still met the standards of the Golden League, but later did not participate due to injury.

The IAAF Golden League is the third-level track and field competition, second only to the first-level Olympic Games and World Athletics Championships, the second-level IAAF World Athletics Finals, the IAAF World Indoor Championships and the IAAF World Trail Running Championships.

It is also a high-level competition in track and field events, and because of the high prize money of the event and the fact that it is a number of European tourist cities, it has a huge attraction for track and field athletes all over the world.

It's just that this competition needs to be invited according to the world ranking, and Su Zu's results in the Asian Championships and City Games last year are already up to the standard for participation.

"The coach also communicated with me and decided not to go. During the winter training, I have been preparing for the 60 meters of the indoor race, and there are still many training plans that have not been completed. ”

"It's okay not to go, anyway, the Golden League is held every year, and it's not too late to participate next year, and there are no other tournaments that are more important than the Olympics."

It's a pity for a few people, after all, the Golden Grand Prix has a lot of prize money, and the participants are all world-class masters from all walks of life. But it's an Olympic year, and it's normal to put these games on hold. In the mode of competition training, some athletes can produce results, but several people present are mainly training.

"It's important to have a good training plan." Chen Jian also echoed and said, Su Zu is young, and there is a lot of room for improvement in all aspects. Although he is occasionally a little unconvinced, Chen Jian also has to admit that Su Zu is currently the most likely to run in 10 seconds in China and even in Asia.

"Ha, you practice this method, I think, in a few months, I'm afraid you will have another round of strength." Yang Guangzong reached out and pinched the muscles on Su Zu's arm, and immediately laughed.

Chen Jian and He Jun also laughed at the same time, several of them were athletes, and their bodies were stronger than ordinary people, but they were also very limited. Especially Yang Guangzong, who is 1.87 meters tall barefoot, although he is also 73 kilograms, he looks really slender and thin.

Su Zu is shorter than Yang Guangzong, but after returning from the indoor competition, he entered the rhythm of training, except for the training of the relay race, which is basically in the gym. The weight has surpassed Yang Guangzong, and although he doesn't look strong, he is already the most well-proportioned among several people.

With the improvement of Su Zu's sprinting performance, Li Zhizhong's requirements for Su Zu's strength are also increasing.

Muscle strength is easy to train, but it is the core strength that needs to be improved, not only the strength must be increased, but also the balance response must not be affected.

During this period of training, after Su Zu added points before the last indoor competition, the remaining potential value has accumulated to 100% again, and this time there is no hesitation, directly added to the reaction quality, so that the body can start to adapt as soon as possible.

According to some studies on sprinting in the European and American industries, the speed of sprinting is strength plus reaction. Especially in the 60m and 100m events, absolute core strength plus absolute reaction is absolute race speed.

Su Zu was also not sure if this statement was correct, or if it was too absolute. His current combination is that he is constantly improving in strength, and he needs to be balanced by the quality of reaction.

His current squat strength has increased to about 160 or 170 kilograms, and his leg press has also reached 500 kilograms. This value is certainly a lot more than ordinary people, but for athletes, especially some special strength athletes, it is still far behind.

The world record for squats is over 1,000 pounds, and the world record for leg lifts is approaching 2,000 kilograms.

He's a sprinter and certainly doesn't lean towards that level of strength, but with his height and weight, strength growth is far from over.

According to the international best sprinters, the height is 1.85 meters and the weight is about 85 kilograms. The difference in height is one or two centimeters, but the difference in weight is 10 kilograms.

There is no clear figure on how much strength will be increased by another 10 kilograms, but the control of the body's balance response must be kept up with a level.

If you are like Green, who is 1.76 meters tall and weighs 85 kilograms, the core strength is almost unimaginable, coupled with fast reactions, the record of 60 meters and 6.39 seconds is unknown when anyone can break it in the history of track and field.

Therefore, the next agility quality and reaction quality need to be improved by Su Zu to adapt to the strength of the body's growth, otherwise it will gradually deviate from the sprint, although the body strength is improved, but the cumbersome muscles have become a drag.

Moreover, the benefit of improving the reaction quality, in addition to controlling the body's improved strength quality, brings Su Zu the benefit of being able to optimize the starting reaction, and the importance of the 100-meter start is naturally self-evident.

Another reason is the relay race, the quick action reaction can reduce the mistakes of the relay baton handover, and achieve the best possible baton handover.

"Hurry up, you guys, get ready to get in place."

A few people on the sidelines rested for a while, and Coach Yuan Guohua's voice sounded again.

Another relay run training.
