"It's still necessary to pay attention to the intensity, and recently you can mainly focus on the strength above the waist, and you can jog on the legs, but don't be in a hurry for explosive training."

In a room at the General Training Bureau's Operational Medical Center, Ye Qin was lying on a hospital bed, conducting a comprehensive examination.

A doctor in his early forties wearing a white coat had a smile on his face after examining Ye Qin up and down, and continued to advise Ye Qin, "With your training intensity, some things are definitely unavoidable, and the most important problem is to pay attention to self-protection. ”

Chen Zhongzhou, Zhuang Wei and the others who were surrounding the bedside breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the words of the middle-aged doctor.

"Thank you, Dr. Wang, then I will start to slowly recover and adjust."

Ye Qin also showed a relaxed expression on his face, the time had come to the end of February 2009, the Spring Festival had passed for a while, and it was almost a month and a half before the strain of the muscles in his legs.

Around New Year's Day in 09, when Ye Qin was doing speed endurance training on the track, he accidentally caused a tear and strain of his calf muscles.

For him, such an injury is the first time in his career, and the most direct reason is probably that the weather is relatively cold in winter, although he has warmed up, he still accidentally has a small injury.

However, fortunately, it is now the off-season, and it has not affected him much except for a little bit of winter training.

Ye Qin himself is very clear about this, as a sprinter, no matter how much protection he has, he will always be more or less inevitably injured.

If it is the growth trajectory of ordinary athletes, many people have started intensive training in sports schools, as well as training after entering the professional team, because of the training intensity and professionalism, injuries will inevitably occur.

Just depending on the severity of the injury, many athletes may only have a minor injury and return to the field after a quick recovery, while some are more serious and may end their careers before they have even begun. Or it affects the competitive state, and there is no way to continue to go further, so I have no choice but to retire and choose another life.

Leaving the transportation medical center, the weather in Yanjing in February was still a little cold, Chen Zhongzhou was wearing a thick down jacket, and his hands with gloves were still holding Ye Qin's examination results just now, looking at Ye Qin who was walking beside him with a calm face and said:

"It has been determined with the team, and the winter training after that will be placed on the United States side, or Yunnan Province and Qiong Province, not to mention the cold weather in Yanjing in winter, and the air quality is not good enough."

"After that?"

Ye Qin heard Chen Zhongzhou talk about the winter training in the future, thought for a while, and then nodded, "I heard that the climate in Qiong Province and Yunnan Province is better, and there are some training teams that are training there. ”

"It started before the Olympics, and there is a long-distance running team in Yunnan Province." Chen Zhongzhou replied, and then said, "Besides, you will graduate from school this year, and it will not affect you in the future." ”

Speaking of graduation, Ye Qin couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, "I'm just a name, but in fact, I don't have a lot of classes." ”

He entered Mizuki University in 05, which is considered a special enrollment, and it happened to be this graduation in the first half of this year.

However, since he entered Mizuki University, he has not taken many classes, and he has been better in the first year or two, more or less taking some classes, and also training with the Mizuki University track and field team.

Later, the schedule was tight, and his grades and status in the field of athletics continued to rise, and gradually he went to school much less often. Athletes spend most of the year running along with the schedule, usually a little more in winter and spring.

Moreover, unlike a scholar like Gu Kai, Gu Kai is likely to stay in school after graduation, and although Ye Qin really wants to stay in school, it is naturally okay, but he is still an active athlete, and it is too early to say this.

But as Chen Zhongzhou said, after graduation, he didn't have to consider Yanjing for winter training, he could go to the United States or warm provinces and cities in the south.

After coming out of the transportation hospital, Ye Qin did not go directly back to the dormitory to rest, nor did he prepare to go to school.

Instead, I went directly to the indoor gym of the training bureau, and I didn't dare to train because of injuries before, but now I have been confirmed by the doctor, although I can't do high-intensity running and jumping training, but it's okay to do some proper strength training in the gym.

As the old saying goes, if you don't practice your legs and feet for a day, it's actually the most obvious thing on athletes. This kind of physical state is basically to rest for a few days without practice, and there will be varying degrees of decline.

Of course, this decline is only compared with their best state, with the physical fitness of professional athletes, even if the decline is still in a position to look up to compared to most ordinary people.

Besides, the foundation laid over the years is there, and as long as you start to train systematically, you can still quickly find it again.

……

Florida, USA.

While the weather in February is not too hot in the United States, Florida is warm and sunny.

On an outdoor indoor track and field, a figure on the standard 400-meter track is walking fast, training wholeheartedly.

On both sides of the track, there were quite a few people watching, some of them familiar faces from the American track and field arena, and of course some residents in the surrounding area, some children in their seven or eighths to teens, watching intently the figures training on the field.

"45.65 seconds!"

When the fast-running figure crossed the finish line, the electronic equipment next to him soon showed that he had just completed the standard 400-meter track.

Standing near the finish line, Jason Gaby looked at the results on the timing board with his hands on his back, a faint smile on his face.

"Well done, Jason!"

Lance Brauman walked over with a smile, threw a towel at Jason Gaby, and handed him another bottle of mineral water.

Although the weather in Florida is very good at this time, in the winter and spring, just after exercising, the cold wind blows, and it is still easy for the players to catch a cold.

For Jason Gaby now, the physical condition is too important, and he doesn't want the other party to have any physical discomfort.

"Coach, you're right!"

Jason Gaby put the towel over his shoulder, took a sip of water, and looked at the results on the chronograph with a satisfied expression, "I feel like I'm picking up. ”

"That's what I found in that Oriental." Lance Blauman watched Jason Gaby's mood change for the better, and he relaxed with it.

Although the two have a mentor-apprentice relationship, he once promoted Jason Gaby in college, but since Jason Gaby entered the professional arena, he lost his job due to a lawsuit.

The relationship between him and Jason Gaby has been reversed, and now although he is the coach, Jason Gaby is the heart of the team, his boss.

This is also the norm in American professional sports, especially in athletics or some other individual events, where athletes who become famous form their own coaches and work teams.

Jason Gaby's defeat at last year's Olympics was arguably a huge frustration for their entire team.

You must know that even though Ye Qin and Yusse Bott have broken the men's 100-meter world record one after another and have been hailed as sprinting twin stars by the entire track and field world, it does not mean that the two of them are really completely without challengers.

Asafavir is one, Jason Gaby is also one.

Facing the two who were in full swing at the time, Jason Gaby still ran the American men's 100m record of 9.77 seconds at the National Olympic Trials, surpassing Maurice Green to become the first American sprinter.

By analogy, in another time and space, how much the Chinese people were looking forward to Liu Yangyu's performance at that time, then how much the Americans were looking forward to Jason Gaby.

Unfortunately, in the end, the results of the Yenching Olympics were not satisfactory.

Jason Gaby took a break from the field after an unexpected injury before the 200m trials, and then completely disrupted his entire training and preparation plans.

In the end, he was eliminated in the semifinals of the men's 100m at the Olympics and missed the final 100m. And with Jason Gaby's form at that time, even if he broke into the final of the men's 100m event, he failed to break the 10-second time, and it is likely that he will still be at the bottom in the end.

This is a huge setback for the performance of Jason Gaby, who was expected by the whole nation, and the performance of the American men's sprint, which can be called a collapse.

In this regard, the impact of Jason Gaby's position in the sprint, as well as its commercial value, is immeasurable.

Jason Gaby obviously knows this, both of Yechin and Eusse Bot have been beaten by him in many races, and finally ended up being crowned a god at the Olympics, completely surpassing him and other top sprinters, which is also very psychologically stressful for Jason Gaby.

Now, though, Jason Gaby has finally come out of the shadow caused by the previous Olympics. Through the treatment of injuries and the adjustment of his condition in the past six months, he gradually began to feel that he was back to his state again.

"Starting with the 400m, the results are very remarkable so far, Jason, maybe you and Yechin may go to the World Championships or the next Olympics, you can compete for the gold medal in the men's 400m."

Jon Drummond, Jason Gaby's other coach, joked on the sidelines that he was also looking forward to Jason Gaby's return to the game.

There are so many people in the United States who practice sprinting track and field, and the black athletes with excellent physical fitness are even more carousel, but the only one who can really compete with the current two people, Ye Qin and Usse Both, is probably Jason Gaby.

No, there's another person. Jax Thelin, the men's 100m champion at the Athens Olympics in '04, has a talent for sprinting and a big game mentality, which Jon Drummond has only seen in his life.

It's a pity that Jax Thelin has been suspended, and according to the current time, I am afraid that he will not have a chance to pay until next year 2010 at the earliest.

And after being away from athletics for more than four years, it's hard to say what the state will be at that time, after all, Jax Thelin and Jason Gaby were also born in 82, and by that time it was already in the late stages of their careers.

"I now understand why Ye Qin was able to achieve such results this year, running 400 meters is very helpful in terms of speed and endurance for running 1 or 200 meters."

Jason Gaby didn't pick up Jon Drummond's talk that he and Yechin would face off in the 400m in '12, which is still too far away, but the most immediate feeling he has felt through the recent half-year improvement in the 400m is that he feels that his ability has improved in the second half of the race.

In the 100m event, for top athletes, the ability in the second half of the race is important, but it is not important, in fact, it can be put aside a little.

Like Al-Safavir, his ability in the second half of the race is not particularly good among the top athletes, and he was able to dominate the men's 100m event mainly because of his explosiveness and speed ability in the first half of the race. In the second half of the race, Asafavil was able to rely on the speed of the front and directly overtook his opponent and rushed to the finish line.

At this point, Asafarville and Yousse Bot are actually somewhat similar, Yousse Bot is 1.96 meters tall, and Asafavil is also 1.88 meters, both of them are tall sprinters.

Jason Gaby is only 1.80m, and compared to two athletes with long legs, he has the advantage of fast cadence, and the biggest problem encountered by fast-paced athletes is the ability to maintain speed.

For him personally, strengthening his speed ability can basically keep his high-speed cadence for a longer time, and by the last 30 meters, 20 meters, or even 10 meters, he can hit the line at the fastest speed.

This is also when he is running a sprint race, he rarely uses the action of lowering his head and hitting the line, the cadence and speed are too fast, and the redundant movements seriously affect his movements.

Moreover, this advantage of speed and endurance, he believes that he will have an effect in 100 meters, and in 200 meters, this advantage will be even more prominent.

Just like Ye Chin, although the men's 200m world record is now held by Yusse Both, many people believe that if Ye Qin had not issued that Olympic 200m semi-final, it is likely that Yuser Both's current 200m world record would be Ye Chin's.

The answer is obvious, Ye Qin won the men's 100m world record and the men's 400m world record, such a top player with no shortage of speed ability and speed endurance, no one would think that his performance in the 200m would lose out to other events.

Not to mention that Ye Qin's starting event is the 200-meter event, and he has also won the men's 200-meter championship at the World Championships for two consecutive years.

"If you want to beat your opponents, you have to learn from them."

Jason Gaby silently chewed on this sentence in his heart that he had seen in "American Athletics", which was a special issue about Yechin's cover character, and he saw the editor's analysis of Yechin's elevated growth.

Needless to say in the 400m and 200m events, Ye Qin exerted far more effort than other runners in order to improve his start and first half of the race.

Learning from the start of other runners from a large number of race videos, Yechin's starting style has the shadows of Carl Lewis, Maurice Green and Asafavil, and the style of Donovan Bailey when he accelerates from the start, these things that were originally other top athletes have been absorbed and screened by him, and gradually become his own style.

Therefore, this young man from the East, in just a few years, has emerged from the international athletics arena and has become an iconic figure.

Jason Gaby is now learning the way Yechin trains, and his speed and endurance in the second half of the race were already good, but he only put it in the 200m center in high school and college, and then in the 100m, and he has always put the 400m event aside.

Now that he's picked it up and started training again, he feels that this program has helped him improve. Combining speed and stamina is a big step forward in improving his overall strength.

"The indoor competition has started in February, Jason, how do you think about the rest of the year?" Jon Drummond asked from the side.

"I want to run the indoor 60m for a few warm-up indoor races, and when I get to the outdoor races in May, I'll try the 400m first, but the focus is still on the 100m and 200m, and then I'll go to the big races and then prepare for it."

Jason Gaby has already made his own arrangements for this year's competition, and he paused slightly, his tone full of yearning for the next competition, "The final goal is the World Championships in Berlin!" ”

The 2009 World Championships in Berlin was the most important event of the year.

After the Yenching Olympics, the whole world is full of anticipation for who will be the biggest winner in the competition between Ye Qin and Yusse Bote, who both hold two world sprint world records in the world.

And Jason Gaby doesn't want to be just a foil, he wants to be involved!

"If you can do it, I can do it too!"
