“27、28、29、30……”

In the warm-up room on the other side of the indoor track and field field of the Xinzhuang Training Base, Ye Qin was lying on a yoga mat at this time, and after silently counting thirty numbers, he moved his body slightly and repeated the action of lowering his back to the other side.

"Don't warm up too quickly, feel the small muscle groups stretched, Ye Chin, you are not completing the task, the purpose is to move the body." Chen Zhongzhou, who was standing on the side, watched Ye Qin's completion of various warm-up actions a little quickly, and couldn't help but remind him aloud on the side.

"yes, okay." Ye Qin's breathing was a little heavy, and he nodded towards Chen Zhongzhou to show that he understood.

Underneath him is a vibrating foam roller made of EPP material, also known as a yoga roller, which is mostly used to relax muscles after various exercises. But here in Ye Chin, it is a part of the basic warm-up before the game.

This was not in Yechin's previous warm-up program, and this is a new warm-up method added by Randy Hunter after Yechin coached Yechin.

While there are already physiotherapists for pre-game and post-game muscle massages and relaxation, according to Randy Hunter, it's the athlete or the body that feels the clearest way. And in domestic competitions, especially the indoor track and field championships, Ye Qin's physiotherapist Zhuang Wei did not go to Shenghai this time.

Foam rollers eliminate muscle tension and strengthen core muscles, flexibility to achieve balance and tension in the fascia, while increasing blood flow and soft tissue circulation.

The warm-up is also very detailed, from the back muscles, to the glutes, the left and right quadriceps, the left and right tibialis anterior muscles, the left and right Achilles tendons, and the left and right hamstrings, each muscle group is warmed up with a foam roller for 30 seconds.

After that, there is jogging and pads, stretching, etc., at this point, Ye Qin can clearly feel that the conditions and environments are different, as well as the professionalism of the coach, although Randy Hunter is not there, but the warm-up plan given to Chen Zhongzhou is far different from the content of Ye Qin's warm-up before.

According to Randy Hunter's words, he must have at least half an hour, or even more than an hour of warm-up, for every game to be considered to be truly meticulously prepared for the game, and only at this level can his body be fully mobilized.

After all the basic warm-up movements were completed, Ye Qin could already feel that his body seemed to be in a furnace, his face was slightly red, his breathing was hot, and there were faint sweat stains on his forehead.

"Take a break, take a breath, you're about to enter." Seeing that Ye Qin had finished warming up, Chen Zhongzhou took a bottle of water for Ye Qin on the side and asked him to replenish his water properly.

Ye Qin slowly relaxed his muscles, took a small sip of water, and moistened his throat slightly, except for jogging, the warm-up just now did not do too intense exercise, mainly the same as before, there was a competition in the morning, and his body was more or less active. Fang Cai's warm-up is biased towards delicate small muscle groups and injury prevention exercises.

"Don't feel pressured, the champion is definitely yours." Chen Zhongzhou took the mineral water in Ye Qin's hand with a gentle expression and laughed softly.

Track and field competitions look at the performance, but most of them refer to the situation that there is not much difference between each other's level, such as Ye Qin's strength in the 400-meter event, the indoor competition has reached about 46 seconds, and the outdoor competition has reached 46 seconds.

"It's a little exciting."

Ye Qin replied with a smile, he ran the first shot in the morning, and he felt very good at that time, but because the game was in the morning, it was relatively not fully active, and the people were not excited enough, and the feeling didn't seem to be enjoyable enough. In the afternoon, I felt very good.

During a winter training time, the training did not stop, but on the whole, the intensity was okay, after all, the meaning of winter training is also to reserve physical fitness on the one hand.

Ye Qin's main feeling is that there is no competition, and it has been almost half a year since the Athens Olympics, and for him in this half year, even if there is training, but returning to the field, even if it is the indoor track and field championships, which is not very high-level in his opinion now, it makes him feel a little bloody.

"Haha......" Chen Zhongzhou couldn't help laughing, as he got in touch with more and more, the more he learned about Ye Qin's character, young people are still very interesting, sometimes calm and old, but occasionally he will be a little silly, shaking his head and laughing, "Don't be too excited, take it easy, there are more games this year, hold on, and strive to reach the peak at the World Championships." ”

Seeing Chen Zhongzhou smiling happily, Ye Qin's smile on his face was even stronger, excited, the feeling of returning to the arena, and there was a winter training, he wanted to test himself well.

I didn't think it was hard to run without a race before, but when I finished a race in the morning, I carefully adjusted my mindset before the race, ran hard at the moment the gun rang out, and finally crossed the finish line.

"Wow-"

While the two were chatting and waiting, they suddenly heard a loud drum noise coming from the indoor track and field.

The sound was so loud that it could be heard that it should have erupted from the audience in the venue.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Qin and Chen Zhongzhou both turned their eyes involuntarily in the direction of the indoor track and field field, where the men's 60m hurdles final should have just been played.

"It can't be that something happened to Liu Yangyu, right?"

Chen Zhongzhou said precisely, the track and field athletes who can suddenly cause such an uproar in the indoor track and field stadium are not qualified except for Liu Yangyu.

"Liu Yangyu rushed and was sent off!"

Just when Ye Qin and Chen Zhongzhou were not quite sure what was going on, someone soon came from the sidelines.

"Isn't it?"

Ye Qin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and when he came to the Xinzhuang training base, Ye Qin saw Coach Sun Chaosheng, this was the first battle of the Year of the Rooster, and it was also the first time that Liu Yangyu showed his strength in front of his hometown after the Athens Olympics. In the middle of last month, Coach Sun and Liu Yangyu both returned to Shanghai ahead of schedule in order to adapt to the temperature of the competition venue in Xinzhuang in advance. For this competition, Coach Sun Chaosheng said that it is more important to find the feeling of the game, experience the atmosphere of the game, and make a good start for a series of competitions this year.

As a result, in the men's 60-meter hurdles final, Liu Yangyu took the lead, which ...... No wonder the indoor track and field suddenly erupted in such a huge uproar.

Liu Yangyu's starting technique, Ye Qin is well understood, Nie Fangping once told him that Liu Yangyu's start is very good, fast, crisp, and the accumulated experience of many competitions since the beginning of two thousand years has made Liu Yangyu's prediction of the start very good, basically many large-scale races can press the starting reaction below 0.140 and 0.130.

Such a starting reaction is beyond the reach of Ye Qin now. He was able to start within 0.200 now, which is already good.

However, it is this kind of start that inevitably makes mistakes in some races, especially after the Athens Olympics, the peaceful life of the other party is broken, and there are reporters chasing and intercepting it every day, and the pressure is naturally conceivable.

At the first stop in his hometown, he naturally wanted to have a prominent performance. Ye Qin guessed that perhaps these factors caused Liu Yangyu to be impatient in the 60-meter indoor final.

"Alright, don't think about it." After Chen Zhongzhou saw the news, Ye Qin looked thoughtful, gently patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously, "You don't have Liu Yangyu's pressure on you now, you can't be impatient, well, even if you have the other party's achievements one day, you must also keep your own heart." ”

"Olympic champion, yellow miracle, Brother Chen, you have so much confidence in me?"

Ye Qin looked at Chen Zhongzhou and couldn't help but smile and replied, the more he was on the runway and in the field of fields, the more he could understand the difficulty of Liu Yangyu achieving this achievement.

"I have confidence in you, your talent and potential will not be worse than his, otherwise the team will be able to form a training group and team around you." Chen Zhongzhou explained his thoughts and thoughts, he really didn't think that Ye Qin would be worse than others, this is the championship seed.

Speaking of this, Chen Zhongzhou seemed to suddenly have something to say, and said again, "By the way, I remembered a question, last time Coach Randy asked you about your belief in the game, I heard you say a lot, I was quite moved, I know your belief, what about the goal?" You don't seem to have said this, huh? ”

"Target?"

Ye Qin smiled lightly and looked up into the distance, he remembered the first time he competed barefoot on the school cinder track, the first time he took an airplane, the first time he went abroad to stand on the athletics field of the University of Sherbrooke, the first time he competed with talented people of his age, the first time he participated in the Olympic Games, all these things seemed to be flashing in front of him so quickly when he said the word goal.

After a long time, it seemed that the check-in side was already reminding the men's 400-meter runners to prepare for entry, Ye Qin took a deep breath, and said with extremely firm eyes: "Brother Chen, I didn't understand before, but now I know that I am a natural athlete, I hope that when I stand on the field, everyone is paying attention to me, and when it becomes me, I will try to do what I am good at and do it to the extreme."

After the World Junior Championships and the Olympics, I actually thought about it for a long time. My former PE teacher said that PE would change my life. Now, it really makes a difference for me. I used to study hard, but my grades weren't good. I'm a good runner, and I probably can't be the best at anything but running. My master, the former coach Nie Fangping, fell ill after the World Youth Championships, and he said that he could not continue to teach me, and he told me not to live up to the runway. I have such a talent, then I must not live up to it.

I want to be the best athlete in the world, to be remembered, to be talked about, and when people talk about Ali, when they talk about Pele, when they talk about Michael Jordan, they talk about me. ”
