Chapter 309: 400m Semi-Final Showdown (2)

At this moment, Yechin was running on the first straight, looking at the fifth lane Darrod Williamson and the sixth lane Taylor Christopher in front of him, and there was only one thought in his mind.

"Happy!"

The 400m was the last race of the day, and he had no scruples about letting it go.

Unlike the first half of the 400-meter race, he is now completely free to run, not thinking about tomorrow's race, not doing any physical retention, now all he thinks about is running, running to the front, running to the first, running to the finish line.

Starting from the corner, he was quickly caught up by the duo in lanes 5 and 6, and by the first straight he could already feel like he was getting closer to the two.

In the 400m event, the first half of the race has never been a weakness. The first half of the 200-meter race was weak because of the starting and acceleration phases, because of the distance, and when he entered the high speed, he was already halfway through, and many people were a few meters away from him. He'll need to work hard to get ahead of his opponents in the final corners and straights.

In 400 meters, the first half of the race is not the first 100 meters, but the first 200 meters.

Fifty or sixty meters in front of him, even if it was a little slower, but when he reached the first corner, he entered the straight, and after one hundred and twenty meters, the speed was fully up, and he was already able to catch up with the others.

His current speed does not need to be deliberately pressed and reserved, but he can give full play to his absolute fast speed and gradually run to the front at this stage.

In the past, Ye Qin was used to the running method of falling behind for more than 300 meters in front and then catching up and surpassing until the last few tens of meters, although Ye Qin was used to it, he still didn't like it very much.

Running behind other people, the rhythm is too easy to get sidetracked.

The reason why he once ran absolutely 400 meters was not right, it was also because of this running style, he would always put himself in the posture of a chaser, whether he encountered a strong opponent or a weak hand, he would deal with it in a running style, and under the premise of continuous improvement of his own strength, he would naturally feel very uncomfortable.

And the current running style is a new running style that he and Randy Hunter have readjusted according to the characteristics of the past in the past few months.

In the first half of the 200 meters, he maintained a high-speed performance of almost 95 to 98 percent, and tried his best to get rid of the problem of pressing his speed too hard in the first half.

This style of running was only run in the preliminary race yesterday and has not yet been tested in the big competition, but it has actually worked well in training for the past few months.

Athletes' training sometimes requires a long-term fixed rhythm to train, but at a certain stage, sudden external forces break down, adjust and try new things, often with unexpected effects.

Straight into the corner!

In the 400-meter race, the second corner is the watershed stage.

After the first 200 meters of rapid running, at this stage, the top players with spare strength will try their best to stabilize their speed, and even accelerate again, while the general athletes at this time the lactic acid brought by high-intensity exercise has also accumulated to a certain extent, and the speed will inevitably begin to enter the stage of decline.

Ye Qin is still running fast, and his current running method is to maintain his speed after entering the high speed, and completely use his advantage in the second half of the speed maintenance ability.

Two hundred and thirty meters, two hundred and forty meters, two hundred and fifty meters......

As the distance progressed, the gap in reach reached the second corner, and the difference in reach was gradually narrowing.

Entering the corner, Yechin gradually took the lead, and he didn't know if the other runners in this group had reservations, but he ran very well, and his American Darrod Williamson in lane 5 in front of him was gradually catching up with him in the corner.

Canada's Tyler Christopher in lane 6 also felt an extremely strong threat at this time, the threat brought by Yechin.

He is the sixth way, and Yechin is the fourth.

Fifth lane Dharold Williamson was falling between the two, and Ye Qin was rapidly closing in on him, and he felt the pressure.

He and Ye Qin were a group of players in the preliminaries, and both of them made reservations at that time and successfully advanced to the semifinals.

But now, he felt that if he didn't accelerate again, he would probably be overtaken by Ye Qin at this stage of the corner.

With a split second thought, Taylor Christopher began the second half of the sprint and acceleration.

Ye Qin's gaze flashed from Taylor Christopher at the position of the corner, and a thought quickly rose in his heart, and sure enough, Taylor Christopher, the Canadian, made a lot of reservations in the preliminaries.

In the first half of the 400-meter semi-finals, everyone ran much faster than before, and the opponent still had the strength to sprint forward at this time.

In the 400m, it is not uncommon for the top runners to allocate their speed and sprint in the second half like Yechin, and Taylor Christopher has done the same at this moment.

His goal itself is to be in the final, and he wants to win something in the final, but he was forced to this point by Ye Qin, and he didn't dare to make any more reservations.

In this case, when Ye Qin participated in the 400m race at the World Youth Championships, a group of runners was disturbed by Sean Merritt's super individual ability, which disrupted the rhythm of all other runners.

From the beginning to the end, except for a very good player who followed, the final results of the others were much worse than their usual results.

The reason is that in the 400-meter race, in addition to speed, there is also rhythm.

Runners who are good at sprinting in the first half of the race burst out in the first half of the race, and the speed is amazing, and it is easy to create the illusion that other runners may be running too slow in their own group.

After trying his best to keep up, he found that the opponent's tactics were like this, and the first half exploded at a fast speed, so that everyone had to run to his rhythm.

And in the second half, it can only be completely fought who has a good ability to maintain speed.

If you want to pace with reservations and run the 400 meters at your own pace, it's hard to do in a real race.

Ye Qin's current running style is similar to this, but he did not break out in the first 100 meters, but in the 200 meters, which is based on his technical characteristics, in the 150-300 meters stage, Ye Qin relied on his absolute speed advantage, and rushed up to make the other runners feel great pressure and had to adjust and disrupt their rhythm.

Taylor Christopher was able to hold steady when Yechin's speed suddenly increased in front, but when he entered the corner or so 250 meters, he was already forced by Yechin to continue to pace and make reservations.

He is the sixth lane, and there are only the seventh and eighth lane players in his field of vision, and these two people have almost caught up at this moment, but on the other side, he can't see their position in the one, two, three, four, and five lanes.

And the fourth Ye Qin has now caught up, and before the distance difference caused by the number of forward extensions has not been completely compensated, he does not dare to bet on whether there will be any competitors rushing up in the other one, two, and three passes.

This kind of competitive mentality in the competition and the analysis of the situation on the field is long, but it is often a judgment made by the athlete instinctively in a moment.

290 meters, 300 meters, 310 meters......

Corners into straights!
