Run Out of My Life

The Imperial City.

Athletics team training base.

"Prepare—"

"Pop!" The starting gun sounded.

On the starting line, Su Zu quickly swayed his arms with both hands, the rubbing sound of the puff puff spikes and the rubber track, and the rustling sound of the long-sleeved sportswear sounded rhythmically.

Group after group of training continues, from the starting reaction, to the acceleration at the start, to running on the way, and then to the final stage of the sprint.

boring, repetitive, continuous.

General coaches are urging athletes to perform repeated sets of training, but Su Zu doesn't need it. He has always formulated a training plan and throws it to him, and he can Complete the training with quality and quantity.

Occasionally, the coaches are afraid that he will practice too hard, and they will come to watch from time to time, and stop the continued training.

"I just took a look, your strength seems to have increased recently, you have to pay attention to the rhythm when you run. Rhythm is the life-giving element in sprint training, speed is generated from rhythm, The rhythm embodies improved technique, which in turn promotes the development of the rhythm."

Lu Jianming called Su Zu aside. He had been carefully observing Su Zu's training and pointed out some problems.

Yes, to a large extent it may also be psychological effects such as depression and tension."

"Coach, I think I'm fine."

Su Zu held his knees and gasped for breath. He probably also understood some of the technical terms that Lu Jianming said, some of which were combined with the daily training and some thoughts. The rhythm of running and the rate of movement caused by running awareness, these very academic words actually fall into the changes of the body and are very subtle.

"Well, it's strange to say this. Your state is really amazingly stable. I haven't seen you ups and downs very much, but you are rising steadily."

fluctuation. For athletes, the state is ups and downs. The first time you almost run 10 seconds 50, the second time you run better, you can run 10 seconds 30, this is a normal phenomenon.

But this does not apply to Su Zu, except that the training will change according to the physical decline, Su Zu can almost stabilize the performance of each game within 0.01-0.03 seconds, and still in an upward trend.

Su Zu straightened his body and smiled, but he couldn't explain to Lu Jianming, this is one of the benefits brought by the system to the dataization of body attributes, as long as there is no negative abnormal state of each attribute Influence, can make him maintain a very stable performance, coupled with a lot of training, the improvement of attributes, and the polishing of sprint skills, the overall performance is in a steady upward trend. Occasionally, when it is in a perfect state, it can also make the score rise by a certain span, but it is very stable on the whole, and there is basically no slippage.

"You have also made remarkable progress in the 60 meters." Lu Jian pondered, "In February, the national indoor competition and Chen Jian ran a score of 6.60 seconds, setting a national record. Last time In Vienna, he ran a new record of 6.59 seconds, which is a bit incredible."

Su Zu finally won a gold medal in the men's 60-meter event at the International Indoor Athletics Competition that ended in Vienna a week ago. But the track and field team is still very happy with his breakthrough. Now, with his steady progress, he has begun to lean on resources and attract the attention of the team, and is gradually on the same level as Chen Jian. Much more attention than some veterans such as Shen Yunbao and Yang Guangzong.

In the International Indoor Competition in Vienna on March 9th, the domestic track and field players played fairly well. Except for Su Zu who won the men's 60m event, Liu Yangyu won the championship with a time of 7.51 seconds. The champion of the 60-meter hurdles and a new Asian record, Shen Yunbao, a veteran, unexpectedly won the bronze medal by a thousandth of a second before the jet lag was reversed. And there are more blooms in the women's event, and good results have been achieved.

In the 12 indoor events that the Chinese track and field team participated in, they won 6 gold medals, 5 silver medals and 5 bronze medals.

"It's a pity I didn't get the results earlier, otherwise I could go to the World Indoor Championships."

Su Zu is also quite regretful that he went abroad in a hurry to compete in a relatively low-level event. There are not many outstanding sprinters participating in the international indoor competition in Vienna, and they are not as good as the two sprinters from the Linz competition.

Not to mention the 60-meter world record holder Maurice Green who ran 6.39 seconds, and Tim Montgomery, who is currently the world's most competitive 100-meter.

"By the way, coach, how was our team's performance in Birmingham?"

After participating in the International Indoor Athletics Competition in Vienna last time, there are still some domestic media and several news reports, in addition to Su Zu and Liu Yangyu, especially several female athletes, in pole vault, triple jump, First place in the 60-meter hurdles and shot put.

Come on, it's a bit surprising.

Lu Jianming shook his head invisibly, his voice was a little lower, "The team already knows, but the results are not good, if Liu Yangyu won the third place in the 60-meter hurdles, he would almost be wiped out, no Spread it with great fanfare."

"Ah? No way." Su Zu was frightened by the news. In the past life, he was still a high school student in a small mountain city at this age, and he did not know the achievements of the track and field team at this time.

But this time, he clearly knew that the players who went to the Birmingham World Indoor Championships in the UK were basically the best track and field players in China. Vienna also showed impressive strength.

However, I never expected that in this competition field with world-class top players, I would encounter such a serious setback immediately. When I just came back a week ago, there were several news reports Su Zu read, but now, it fell to the bottom.

Almost annihilated, the men's event is poor, but the women's event has never happened. In a big country, in a major international competition, only one person entered the final.

"If only you could run out of qualifications earlier, at least not only one person will enter the final." Lu Jianming also sighed, if Su Zu can participate in this indoor competition, With his stable performance, facing players like Maurice Green Montgomery, there may be no chance for the top three, but from the feedback, it is still very hopeful to enter the finals.

This season, in the men's short track event, as long as the yellow race runners can stand on the stage of the final, among the dark skinned sprinters, there is such a figure, that is a breakthrough, that is a victory .

“Coach, what is the qualifying score for the World Athletics Championships?”

After a long silence, Su Zu suddenly raised his head and asked Lu Jianming.

"Huh?" Lu Jianming was slightly surprised that the news in Birmingham this time did not spread widely in the team because he was afraid that it would affect the morale of the entire track and field team. It's not that I'm afraid of losing, but I'm afraid that after losing, I don't even have the courage to play again. To be honest, don’t say that ordinary athletes are shocked to hear this kind of news, especially in the case of the Asian Games, when the Vienna International Indoor Championships just had a small result, and suddenly encountered such a heavy blow, even many coaches with a mature mentality also Will feel powerless.

"You want to participate in the track and field world championships?" Can only participate in this year's Asian Championships?"

"I have missed the indoor competition once, coach, I must participate in this World Track and Field Championships no matter what." Su Zu's eyes were bright, and he said very firmly.

The 2003 World Athletics Championships were held in Paris, France on August 23, and the 2003 Asian Championships were held in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, on September 20.

In the event plan arranged by the coaching staff for Su Zu this year, there are the National Grand Prix, the Asian Athletics Championships, and the City Games, but the World Athletics Championships are not considered.

That standard is too high. In terms of track and field, the World Athletics Championships is a competition at the same level as the Olympic Games. According to the competition level of the IAAF, it is the first-level track and field competition. The international influence and the level of the players participating in the competition are far from being comparable to ordinary competitions. Even the World Indoor Athletics Championships in Birmingham, England, is also heaven and earth compared to it.

At present, in the men's short track event in China, except for Liu Yangyu's 110-meter hurdles, almost no one can meet the competition standard.

According to the "Athletics News" of the United States, the overall track and field rankings of various countries in 2002 were calculated. At this time, China only had 2 points in the men's track and field event, ranking 42nd, and Croatia, Kazakhstan, Kuwait tied. The 41st place in front of China is Tanzania, a country that most Chinese people have never even heard of.

"Then go to training, you only have five months left."
