At 9:50 a.m., the men's 400m preliminaries officially began.

There weren't many spectators on the sidelines, and probably because the morning was all preliminaries, the atmosphere didn't get up.

Ye Qin stood on the runway, although he was a little excited in his heart, but his expression was still very calm, although he was not very old, and the training and competition time was not long, but he had participated in so many competitions, plus he had a big heart, even if there was any mental activity, it would not be revealed on his face.

The moment the gun rang out, Ye Qin had already rushed out of the track quickly, and the starting position he now adopted, as well as the meticulous muscle group training in the first half of the race, allowed him to basically maintain the same speed as most of the 400-meter runners in China in the first 150 meters to 200 meters, and even exceed some levels to complete this distance.

After entering the 250-meter corner, he began to pick up speed, and with his super speed maintenance ability, he opened up the gap with other opponents.

Now there is an international name for this style of running, called "Varna Time", which refers to the running style of last year's men's 400m Olympic champion, Jimmy Varner.

Perhaps because of race, the two of them are very similar in this style of running in the 400 meters, the first half of the speed is aimed not to be left behind by other runners, and when they enter the 250 meters, they begin to maintain their speed with speed endurance, and further improve, gradually pulling away from other runners.

The difference is that Jimmy Varner starts at 250 meters and accelerates all the way to the finish line, but Yechin has an additional technical trait, which is a fast sprint of almost 50 meters at the end.

The 250-meter start is just an acceleration, and the final 50-meter sprint is his killing time, but at present, there is still a gap between Yechin's special ability and Varner, and he knows very well in this regard, and can only use technology as a reference.

Ye Qin still used this style of running in the morning heats, but he did not fully release it, and he reserved it in the last 50 meters and did not fully sprint.

One is that the personal competitive state has not reached the best peak in the morning, and the other is that there are four guns to run in two days, two guns for men's 400 meters and two guns for men's 200 meters, which is a big test for physical fitness.

45.55 seconds!

When Ye Qin crossed the finish line, he saw his results, and at this time, off the field, Randy Hunter frowned at this result.

"Coach Randy, do you think Ye Chin's performance is not good enough?" Chen Zhongzhou looked at Randy Hunter's expression and asked with some puzzlement.

"Nope." Randy Hunter shook his head, "It was already beyond my expectations to be able to run this result in the preliminaries, at least seeing Yechin's reservations in the last few tens of meters, I suddenly remembered a question." ”

"Is it about Yechin's physical fitness?"

Chen Zhongzhou said it almost without thinking about it, from Ye Qin's intentional reservation in the final stage of the preliminaries, as an assistant coach, he had more contact with Ye Qin than Randy Hunter, so he could naturally understand the other party's concerns.

In the same competition, others only have one event, and Ye Qin needs to compete in two items, and this intensity is doubled. And in comparison, whether it is the men's 200 meters or the men's 400 meters, the burden on the body of a run in the race is almost amazing, and Chen Zhongzhou actually has thoughts about this situation.

The championship of the previous three races and two events was easy to say, but after the competition, the consumption was huge. Fortunately, it is still the beginning of the season, and after the training and adjustment of winter training, Ye Qin has not yet shown any problems.

"Yes." Randy Hunter nodded, with a slightly strange look on his brow, and suddenly turned his head and asked Chen Zhongzhou, "Chen, do you have Ye's physical training plan completion sheet with you, I want to know more." ”

Chen Zhongzhou was slightly stunned for a moment, and then rummaged through the briefcase he was carrying, he, the assistant coach, is now more and more handy, and he has also figured out Randy Hunter's habits, and all the materials have been prepared.

Soon, he took out a paper clip and handed it to Randy Hunter, "I didn't bring it with me for winter training before, but the training plan from March to the present after the Indoor Track and Field Championships is here." ”

Randy Hunter frowned as he looked at the physical training plan completion form in his hand, first running his fingers line by line, then moving faster and faster, constantly flipping.

"Coach Randy, is something wrong?"

Chen Zhongzhou asked with some concern, Ye Qin's training plan was all formulated by Randy Hunter, arranged and executed by him, and he was now a little worried about whether something went wrong because of his own problems.

It took a full five or six minutes for Randy Hunter to finish reading the form of the training plan in his hand, slowly closing it, and looking into the distance through the track and field, with a strange look on his face.

After a long time, he suddenly said to Chen Zhongzhou again, "Chen, show me Ye Qin's physical examination report some time ago." ”

At the beginning of this season, after the completion of three indoor track and field championships, Randy Hunter asked Ye Qin to do a comprehensive physical examination, and it happened that Chen Zhongzhou also brought the physical examination report and hurriedly turned it out of his official bag.

Randy Hunter looked at the report in his hand again, and the more he looked at it, the more strange it became, and at the end he smiled a little.

"Coach Randy, what's wrong with you?" Chen Zhongzhou looked at the other party's expression in confusion.

"Chen, that's a good thing!"

Randy Hunter smiled, and seemed to take a long breath.

Looking at Randy Hunter's mysterious smile, Chen Zhongzhou shook his head, resumed his personal address to Randy Hunter, and said with a smile, "Randy, you will make me unable to eat at noon." ”

"Haha-" Randy Hunter snapped and continued, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that you just reminded me that I want to see if there is something wrong with Ye Chin's fitness." The competitive state of the athlete you know is inseparable from physical fitness. According to Ye Qin's own words, his condition in the second half of the previous training seems to be better than the first half of the year, so Ye Qin's high point in the year should be in the second half of the year.

This is what I suddenly thought about, there are the World Championships in the second half of the year, as well as the Asian Championships and the Chinese Games, which is a big test for Ye Qin's physical fitness, and what I am thinking about is whether the competition schedule I have formulated will be too frequent.

The main source of an athlete's injury is too high-intensity competition, which is not good for Yechin's development, but at least so far, the results are good. Ye Qin's fitness is much better than I thought, perhaps one aspect is that his previous training has basically been based on 400m and 200m events, so he is much more comfortable than the average athlete. However, even so, some unnecessary games, we have to consider making adjustments. ”

"Which ones?" Chen Zhongzhou asked.

"In addition to this concession competition, this year's domestic competitions, except for the Chinese Games, all the domestic competitions will be abandoned." Randy Hunter said very seriously.

"Huh?!" Chen Zhongzhou was slightly stunned.

Don't talk about other domestic competitions, in addition to the stop of Zhaoqing City, there is also the competition in Yichun City behind the concession competition, which Liu Yangyu has to participate in, and then there are many national track and field Grand Prix, his original idea is to hope that Ye Qin can brush up many championships in China and enhance his popularity.

But looking at Randy Hunter's look now, the other party obviously didn't want Ye Qin to continue wasting his energy and time in this small pond.

If it is an ordinary coach, Chen Zhongzhou knows that even if he has such an idea, but due to the requirements of the track and field management center to promote track and field events and the requirements of local brand building, athletes may not be able to postpone it, but if Randy Hunter wants to take Ye Qin to participate in foreign competitions, it seems that there will really not be much resistance.
