[Volume 3 The King of Athletics Chapter 71 Running Style Selection.]

In the first 100 meters, the athletes ran relatively smoothly, and among the athletes who participated in the 400-meter sprint race this time, there were no athletes who ran in the early stage, so everyone's speed was not very fast. And in this case, Zhang Guan's speed seems to be a few points faster than others, which is the advantage of absolute speed.

"Zhang Guan's opening speed seems to be quite fast!"

"Is this a bias towards the early run?"

Those who have not watched Zhang Guan's race can't help but start guessing the running method used by Zhang Guan. 、

And Varina has seen the video of Zhang Guan's race, and he knows that Zhang Guan's running style is basically a rhythm in the first 300 meters, and he will start a violent sprint at the end.

Zhang Guan's pace and speed are slightly faster than on video, and if he follows his usual running style, he will maintain this pace until the next 300 meters, which means that he will definitely be faster than usual today. Is it because of the good form? Varina remembered that in the morning, Zhang Guan ran to the 9.70-second mark, at least indicating that Zhang Guan must be in good shape today.

"Zhang Guan is faster than usual, and I have to raise the pace a little." Thinking of this, Varina began to adjust her pace to make it a little faster.

In the middle and long-distance running race, the athlete will merge into the inner track after crossing the rush line, and the speed of the leader at this time will affect the other athletes, so there is a rhythm, and in the 400-meter race, although everyone is on a fixed track, there is also a rhythm. Especially when the athletes on the outside track run faster, the inside athletes will have a feeling of falling behind, and they will also speed up, so that everyone's speed becomes faster, and the overall rhythm is also brought up.

As Varina's teammate, Harris runs in the same style as Varina, and he observes that Varina starts to pick up speed. It also began to speed up. At the same time, Bahamian star Brown and Canadian Taylor have also improved their speeds. There were only two Jamaican players with a lot of pace.

The two Jamaicans had a slightly different style than the others, with Blackwood running a more mid-range style, with his pace increasing in the second and third 100 metres, and slower at the start and final sprint; Simpson, on the other hand, uses a two-straight acceleration run, where he is slower in both corners and sprints in two straights.

There is nothing too remarkable about the first 100 meters of the race, and all athletes must do things to start, accelerate, adjust during acceleration, and get into the rhythm of the race as soon as possible. For the narrator and the audience. It's all in order, and there's nothing to praise about it.

However, after entering the second 100 meters, the situation on the field will change, and the athletes will choose different running styles according to their respective conditions.

Zhang Guan, who was on the outermost side, was certainly the first to enter the straight track, but his tempo did not change in any way, and he remained exactly the same as in the corner.

"Zhang Guan's rhythm has not changed!" Everyone's eyes lit up, and at this time, everyone had already guessed that Zhang Guan was using a running style that European and American players preferred to use.

Immediately afterwards, other athletes also moved into the straight track. At this stage, the speed of these runners is about the same, but the starting course is different, and the straight track will be early and late.

The frequency of Varina's steps has not changed, but the amplitude of his steps has increased significantly. In fact, other athletes will try to take bigger strides in the straight track, but there is no such obvious change in the amplitude of Varina's stride, which is a technique unique to Varina.

Varina is, after all, a white runner, and he can't match the black guy in terms of speed. Varina's ability to become the world's No. 1 man in the 400m is mainly due to his superb technique and speed endurance.

Since Michael Johnson's retirement, the 400m level around the world has actually fallen into a kind of regression. For a long time, the body-running style of black runners was popular, and Varina's domination of the 400-meter dash as a white man allowed everyone to pick up their skills again, and even Varina could no longer maintain his dominance when black runners were also highly skilled. For example, in 2006, it was unthinkable for an athlete to run under 44 seconds, and nine years later, in 2015, in the world's top competitions, athletes who could not run under 44 seconds could not even win a medal.

In this section of the straight course, Varina, a white athlete, relied on technique, while a black athlete relied on physical talent and speed, and except for Zhang Guan and Varina, other black athletes began to increase their tempo, among which Jamaican Blackwood and Simpson were the fastest, and both of them had to rush at this stage.

In the second 100-meter straight course, the time spent by the athletes who chose the conservative running method was about 11 seconds, and the time spent by the athletes who chose to run at the speed was about 10.50 seconds, and the time of the Varina technical flow of the running method, although the pace did not change much, was able to make up for it with the technique, and it was able to reach 10.50 seconds. For those who choose the sprint run, the time spent is about 10.30 seconds.

Apparently none of the athletes competing today chose to run conservatively in the second 100m, either picking up a slight speed or sprinting, or Varina's technical flow, so at this stage, Zhang Guan started to fall behind.

"Blackwood, start picking up speed! Varina! The Simpson is very fast, he is catching up! As a professional sports commentator, even if the relative position of the athlete has a front and back, he can also see that at this stage, Zhang Guan is obviously lagging behind.

Yu Gui behaved very calmly, he knew that Zhang Guan's running style would only break out in the last 100 meters, so it was normal to fall behind in front, Yu Gui was used to Zhang Guan falling behind in front, and Yu Gui could feel that Zhang Guan seemed to be faster than usual today, which means that he would be less behind in the first 300 meters.

The third 100-meter corner, which is a very crucial distance for athletes, can be said to be the embodiment of athletes' running style and tactics.

"Zhang Guan's rhythm has not changed, he still hasn't picked up speed!" Some of the coaches in the spectator area frowned. Under normal circumstances, athletes who run conservatively in the second 100 meters will start sprinting from the moment they enter the corner, but Zhang Guan obviously did not do so.

"Does Zhang Guan have to wait until 250 meters to start the sprint? Michael Johnson's traditional running style? This kind of running has a lot of requirements for explosiveness, speed and speed endurance, and Zhang Guan's speed and explosiveness are naturally very powerful, but what about speed endurance? ”

At this time, Michael Johnson, who was a guest, also noticed Zhang Guan.

"It's the way I ran early in my career!" Michael Johnson immediately made his judgment. In the late '80s and early '90s, Johnson used this style of running, and in the mid-to-late '90s, as Johnson's technique got better and better, he was slowly changing his running style, starting to pick up slightly in the second 100m stage, but the sprint point behind didn't change much.

Varina ran into the corner, his stride instantly much smaller and more frequent. Gaining speed when entering a corner and then adjusting in the middle of a corner is a characteristic of Varina's technique. Often at this stage, he will rush to the more advanced position.

Bahamian Brown also entered the corner, his tempo slowed down a bit, which was a bit of an adjustment.

Jamaica's Blackwood went straight into the corner in a sprint and didn't slow down, but got faster. He runs in the middle of the 200m to 300m, but runs out of energy in the last 100m.

However, his compatriot Simpson slowed down as he entered the corner and he began to adjust his body before preparing for the final 100 meters.

The brilliance of the 400-meter dash lies in the choice of different tactical runs, and no one knows who the winner will belong until the final sprint. The first athlete to enter the final straight track has the potential to be the last runner in the race; In many cases, the second, third, or fourth athlete who enters the final straight track is the winner.

As the athlete enters the second corner, the different tactical running styles chosen by each person are gradually revealed, and the difference between the front and back distances of the starting position will gradually be smoothed out, and the athlete's movement distance is the same at the moment when entering the final straight run, and the person who enters the final straight track first is obviously the leader.

At 250m, halfway through the corner, Varina was a little slower and he started to adjust, but in reality the adjustment process was extremely short-lived, he would start the sprint before entering the final straight, and by the time he entered the straight, he was already fully accelerating.

In contrast, Harris of the United States, Brown of the Bahamas, and Taylor of Canada have also begun to choose to sprint. Jamaican's Blackwood advantage is gradually eroding, and Simpson has begun to fall behind.

However, Zhang Guan, his rhythm still did not change, he ran without hurry, although he was in the outermost lane, it can be seen that several athletes on the inner track have been neck and neck with him, or have run in front of him, which means that Zhang Guan has fallen behind.

"It seems that our world's No. 1 flyer is not very good at running 400 meters! But we still want to congratulate him, after all, he is the first athlete to compete in two events at the same time in a Golden League! ”

At this time, in the eyes of ordinary audiences, Zhang Guan is still the "brush achievement player". (To be continued.) )
