"Ye Qin, what is the main aspect of your training now?"

On the track of the track and field, Yang Yao, who had already completed two warm-up laps, whispered to Ye Qin.

The temperature in Yanjing in summer is too high, and the day of outdoor training is not long. Coming to the track and field training at this time in the evening is naturally a weak point for special projects.

Yang Yao is a little curious about Ye Qin's training, he watched Ye Qin continue to improve step by step, starting with Nie Fangping, then Yu Weili, and now Randy Hunter, each coach's coaching style is different, in his eyes, Ye Qin's skills are becoming more and more perfect with the continuous change of coaches.

"It's mostly a 400m pace."

Ye Qin stood on the track, gently moving the muscles and joints of his body, and replied casually, "In addition to basic training, I have mainly been studying this during this period of time. ”

Because I have done a lot of training during the day, I don't have too many requirements for the warm-up run before training at night, just run two laps, open the physical activity, and prevent injury.

Ye Qin is very serious, he is used to this kind of repeated warm-up before each training, even if the body is almost in shape, he will still do it carefully, if nothing else, just to prevent physical injuries.

He Jun was so impressed by his injury and retirement that he occasionally sent text messages to him and told him about these training aspects to prevent injuries.

"You have a problem with your original 400-meter run?" Yang Yao was a little surprised when he heard Ye Qin talk about this.

You must know that Ye Qin has just broken the national 400-meter record this year, and it is twice, once at the National Track and Field Concession Tournament and once at the Grand Prix in Eugene. In his opinion, Ye Chin's running style should have been very mature.

Ye Qin stretched his joints on the spot, exhaled lightly, nodded, and explained simply: "It was a sentence that Michael Johnson said last time at Baylor University that woke me up, my rhythm and speed were too hard before the first half of the race, and I should let go a little, but to what extent, since the New York Grand Prix returned home, my coach and I have been training and studying this." ”

In fact, the 400-meter event does not have so many tricks and tricks in low-level competitions, and the level below 50 seconds really rushes directly in one breath, and finally there is no problem with running with physical strength and speed endurance.

Pay attention to the distribution of physical fitness and speed, and you still need to pay attention to it when you enter a relatively high level within 50 seconds.

Ye Qin's problem is that from the time he started running 400 meters, it was Yan Ning who started to teach. Yan Ning is a middle-distance runner, and he pays attention to pace in the process of running laps in the track event.

Then Ye Qin himself suffered a loss in the school sports meeting, and felt that he also needed to pace appropriately to be able to go further. After that, Nie Fangping accepted Ye Qin's training and did not make any more adjustments in this regard, Ye Qin's situation at that time was obviously dominant in the second half, and the running style he had figured out was very suitable for him.

With the continuous improvement of Ye Qin's overall personal strength, his absolute speed is much faster than before, his physical strength is abundant, and his speed and endurance have also been greatly enhanced, and it is no longer suitable for him to run according to the original pace.

Ye Qin began to think that it should not be so difficult to adjust his rhythm in the first half of the race, but Randy Hunter asked him to give up the 400 meters at the New York Grand Prix and only run 200 meters, although the 200 meters set a new personal best and won the championship, Ye Qin actually thought that he still had some regrets that he could not run the 400 meters.

For him, the 200m is good enough, but it is not his main event, or a complex, not his favorite. The improvement of his 200-meter level was incidental to his 400-meter training.

The difficulty in adjusting your pace and pace is that your body has fully adapted to running after a long period of habit. He can let go of the first half of the race and go straight to the run, but if he wants to get it right, keep his speed to the fullest, and have some reservations, and have the physical acceleration and sprint in the second half, it's not ordinary.

It's easy to break a rhythm, it's too hard to establish a new one.

For the past two months, what Yechin has been trying to do is establish a new running rhythm. His current 400m time is around 45 seconds to 45.10 seconds, which is an excellent result in China and even in Asia, but it is not so easy to achieve something in the World Championships.

In 1988, Reynolds set a new world record in 400m in 43.29 seconds, compared to 43.86 seconds set in 1968, which improved the 400m world record by a whopping 0.57 seconds. Michael Johnson then set a new record in 43.18 seconds. It can be said that it was a glorious era.

Last year's Athens Olympics men's 400m event was a relatively low level, and the top three times did not exceed 44 seconds.

But Ye Qin knows very well in his heart that even if the overall level of the current players is different from the previous celebrities, it will definitely not be too far behind, and it is likely that someone will run into 44 seconds in this World Championships.

Even if you can't run for 44 seconds, you should have to qualify for the final race within 45 seconds.

His current result can't be said to be without a chance, but it's still dangerous.

That's why a 400-meter pace is so important to him.

The biggest reason why both Randy Hunter and Yechin are so serious is that Yechin should be more than 45 seconds in the 400m potential.

Based on his current 200-meter level, his speed ability is not weak, and his speed endurance is also considered a strength, and the reason why the 400-meter performance does not meet expectations is mainly in the pace.

In the past, Ye Qin ran too conservatively in the first half of the race, so that he maintained a chaser attitude, but the last time he disrupted the rhythm in Eugene, he let go of the run, and the result was a new time.

It's not too well prepared, it's just an attempt.

It takes a certain amount of time and it takes a certain amount of time for athletes to run over and over again, and to constantly find problems and improve if they want to re-establish a new rhythm that is in line with their current level and can even be used to improve themselves in the future.

On the sidelines, Randy Hunter watched Ye Qin and Yang Yao finish their warm-ups, holding a notebook in his hand to record data, and walked towards the two.

first looked at Ye Qin, and then turned his gaze to Yang Yao.

"Yang, I just thought about it, and I think that according to the current schedule, I can't give you a detailed training plan before the World Championships, but my 100m and 200m results are very good. In this way, when Ye Qin runs 400 meters, you run 200 meters, and use your best condition and level to lead Ye Qin. ”

Then, Randy Hunter pointed at Ye Qin again, "Let's take Yang's 200-meter level as a reference, Ye Chin, you don't want to be left behind by Yang in the first half of every 400-meter race." I'll see if you can do a better pace in the second half of the race with specific competitors to look at. ”

"Okay, got it." Ye Qin nodded, he understood Randy Hunter's plan, and having a top 200m athlete like Yang Yao as a reference for the first half of his 400m was more ideal than mastering the pace completely by feeling.

Yang Yao also nodded beside him, although he was an auxiliary sparring partner, but with Ye Qin's 200-meter level, even if the first half of the 400-meter run was controlled, it could still play a good role in promoting him.

In the training of sprint races, having high-level competitors by the side is also very important for personal improvement, which is one of the reasons why the training method of competition training can improve the level of athletes.

"Let's get started!"

Ye Qin and Yang Yao glanced at each other, and walked to the starting line together, and soon, the crisp whistle and fast footsteps on the track and field sounded one after another.
