Chapter 7 Improving Running Form

Kasamatsu Tressen Training Ground

Today was a rest day for the academy, and there was only a few people bustling on the training ground.

And there are two figures in sportswear who are also impressively among them, it is You Yun and Fuji Zheng March.

"Fujimasa, in the future, whether it is competition or training, I will ask you to run with pitch walking."

"Trainer, what is a pitch?" Fuji Zheng was marching on his head, as if staring at a big question mark, looking at You Yun suspiciously.

"Each horse racer has its own characteristics, and according to the difference in these steps, it can be roughly divided into pitch and stride."

"The pitch walk has a fast cadence and a small stride length, which is suitable for sprinting, while the stride has a small cadence but a large stride." You Yun explained.

These two running styles have their own advantages and disadvantages depending on the running posture and muscle power.

pitch walk

Advantages: High cadence can be increased to the top speed in a short time, suitable for short-distance races, sprinting and grabbing, impromptu adaptation, and running corners. If the cadence is high, the time for the foot to land is reduced, and it is not easy to get stuck in the turf to slow down, so it will not be affected when running heavy races.

Disadvantages: Running the same distance has more steps than stride, and the physical exertion is greater.

Stride walk

Advantages: This style of walking has a lower cadence and less oxygen consumption of the muscles at the same distance, which is more suitable for long-distance races, and retains physical strength for a longer time after accelerating to the maximum speed, and has low consumption and can maintain speed for a longer time.

Disadvantages: slow acceleration, not conducive to sprinting and breakthrough, difficult to respond to emergencies in time, the pace is heavy when the pace is big and the bottom is heavy, and it is easy to be affected by the heavy horse field.

"Do the trainers want me to speed up my cadence in the future, but this will consume more physical strength and strength, and in the end I will not have the physical strength to sprint." There is still basic common sense in the Fujimasa March, and usually she only picks up her pace in the final sprint.

"Yes, the downside of pitch moves does take more energy, but one of the most important benefits of a fast cadence is that it reduces the chance of leg injuries." You Yun raised his index finger and lifted his non-existent glasses, explaining the trivia for the Fuji Zheng march.

Horse racing girls have a similar body structure to humans, so the slower the cadence when running, the longer the time they stay in the air, and the longer the time they stay in the air, the higher the weight they lift.

The higher your weight you lift, the heavier you'll hit the ground the next time you land. Many minor injuries are caused by the impact force generated when landing.

"Stamina can be improved with training, running form, breathing, etc., but if an injury occurs, it can have serious consequences."

'If you get injured because of training and games, I'm going to blame myself. You Yun looked at Fuji Zheng March with a serious face and said.

Fuji Zheng marched and suddenly blushed a little, and his left hand clenched his fist and gently hammered You Yun's chest: "...... You're such a good trainer. ”

Usually Fujimasa trains by herself and pays little attention to her own situation, and more to look at her results, but suddenly someone cares so much about her physical condition, Fujimasa feels a little shy and overwhelmed.

However, You Yun was a little uncomfortable, with the physique of the horse racing mother, although the Fuji Zheng march had the power to control, but it still made him angry. This is still You Yun's usual exercise, and he will be someone else......

It doesn't seem like anything......

You Yun almost forgot that this is the world of the horse racing mother, and the trainers in it are all supermen who have been kicked by the horse racing mother and are like no one!

"Ahem...... Without further ado, now I'm going to show you how to minimize the impact of running. ”

"Stepping makes your feet feel like they're rolling across the ground, rather than alternating your feet on the ground."

"Don't drop your foot in front of your body, this action usually has a braking effect and adds to the impact when you change your foot to land."

"Let your feet fall back, closer to your body, closer to your center of gravity, so that your body feels like you're floating on top of your feet." You Yun instructed while directing

The Fujimasa march demonstrates the movement of the feet when running.

After demonstrating the movements, You Yun said helplessly: "Although the description is very abstract, the most important thing about running is feeling, and all skills are based on the premise that you can run more comfortably." ”

This is the summary of one of the most outstanding coaches and experts in the field of running training in You Yun's previous life, the metaphor is a bit abstract, and You Yun trained for a long time before he found the feeling.

"It's okay if you don't understand, we ......"

"Trainer, I see!"

Before You Yun's words fell, Fuji Zheng marched and shouted excitedly.

???

What do you understand?

Got it so quickly?

“…… Now that you understand, give me a demo and let me see. You Yun was puzzled and surprised, and immediately said.

After hearing the march of Fujimasa on the side, he immediately returned to the runway, opened his front legs and ran briskly, his movements were light and beautiful, and the feeling of landing on the ground made You Yun look very comfortable, and his cadence was faster than usual.

……

The coach has someone to hang on!

Why, it's not scientific!

Is this the horse racing lady?

Or is the Fujimasa march talented?

……

Wait, don't you say!

"Well, that's good, I'm still a little unskilled, but it won't be long before you can fully grasp it."

"The next thing to talk about is the running form, a good running form can make you run faster, less effort and more comfortably. Everyone's running style is unique, and only the running form that makes you the most comfortable and effortless is the best running style that belongs to you. You Yun symbolically put on a running motion as a demonstration.

Fujimasa marched like a student asking a question to a teacher, "Trainer, how do you know if it's the most comfortable?" I think I'm very comfortable running now. ”

"It's actually very simple, Fujimasa you have to remember when you run: let yourself feel like you're going to fall forward, and you have to avoid falling with the rapid movement of your legs. The head is still and looks straight ahead. ”

"The arm should feel like it's being pulled back – pull it back through the shoulder, and the shoulder should be relaxed at all times. Don't swing your arms too much, and swing your hands forward no more than the central axis of your body and the level of your chin. ”

"Lean forward by bending your knees and raising your heels so that your legs move almost like you're on a bike. Then gently touch your feet on the ground, moving quickly and lightly. ”

As soon as You Yun finished speaking, the people followed and ran out.

The sound of the swishing rubbing of the sportswear sounded, although she was not a horse racing girl, but You Yun ran extremely fast and light, each step gave people a feeling of extreme rhythm and rhythm, and the starting acceleration was not slow at all.

"It's amazing!! Trainers, trainers running looks like a ...... An indescribable feeling of wonder. Fujimasa marched in surprise and looked at You Yun, who had run more than ten meters and turned back.

You Yun ignored the exclamation of Fuji Zheng's march and continued to explain: "Remember to stabilize your upper body, and don't deflect and shake. ”

You Yun took the trouble to guide the movements of the Fujimasa march, from smooth power to fixed angles, and some professional skills that had never been heard of before opened up in front of the Fujimasa march.

"What did trainers do before, and why do they know so much!" Fujimasa had been instructed by Shibasaki before, but she felt that the entire Kasamatsu and even the trainers everywhere should not know about the techniques that Yuyun was taught.

"Okay, don't ask so much, go train, follow what I just said, and run with your feelings."

You Yun turned around and walked to the side of the runway, picked up the water cup of soaked wolfberries and drank it.

"Arm amplitude is larger, use the upper arm to drive the forearm."

"Fuji Zheng's pace is faster!"

"Relax, try to relax your body!"

"Yes, that's it, you're doing great! Keep it up. ”

Fuji Zheng March listened to You Yun's instructions and constantly adjusted his posture, with the continuous violent movement, Fuji Zheng March felt that his body was getting more and more relaxed, as if he was about to float up, with the swing of his body, the speed became faster and faster, and he was afraid that he had begun to gasp for breath as usual.

It's worthy of being a trainer, it's amazing, and the body doesn't feel tired at all!

Give it a try at full speed!

Fuji Zheng meditated, the rhythm of running suddenly accelerated, and the cadence instantly increased, although the increase in speed was not obvious to the naked eye, but the feeling of the body running, the speed of the legs stepping on the track, was something that the body could really feel.

The footsteps swished on the soft sandy track, and Fujimasa only felt the wind in his ears, because he was still in a familiar posture for the first few laps, running at a slow and uniform speed, and at this time, he was running with all his strength, and he ran unspeakably smooth.

You Yun looked at the march of the vine that was constantly running, and he had already determined one thing in his heart.

"Sure enough......"
