Born to Run - Chapter 537
“You still need to pay attention to the intensity. Recently, you can mainly focus on the strength above the waist. The legs can be jogging, but don’t worry about explosive training.”
Ye Qin was lying on a hospital bed in a room of the General Administration of Training and Medical Clinic, undergoing a comprehensive examination.
A doctor in his early forties in a white coat went up and down to check Yeqin, with a smile on his face, and continued to exhort Yeqin, “With your training intensity, some things are definitely not acceptable. The most important problem to avoid is to pay attention to self-protection.”
After hearing the words of the middle-aged doctor, Chen Zhongzhou, Zhuang Wei and others around the bed let out a sigh of relief.
“Thank you Dr. Wang, then I will slowly resume adjustments.”
Ye Qin also showed a relaxed expression on his face. The time has come to the end of February 2009. The Spring Festival has passed for a while, and it is almost a month and a half from the strain on the leg muscles.
Around New Year’s Day in 2009, when Ye Chin was doing speed endurance training on the track, he accidentally suffered a torn and strained calf muscle.
For him, this kind of injury is still the first time in his career. The most direct reason is probably that the weather in winter is relatively cold. Although he has warmed up, he still accidentally suffered a small injury.
However, fortunately, it is the off-season. Apart from slightly affecting the winter training situation, it does not have much impact on him.
Ye Qin himself knows this very well. As a sprinter, no matter how much protection he is, he will always be injured more or less.
This is because he did not follow the path of sports schools and professional teams. If it is the growth trajectory of ordinary athletes, many people have started intensive training in sports schools, and after entering professional teams, because of the training intensity, there are also professional Because of sex, injuries are unavoidable.
It just depends on the degree of severity. Many athletes may only have minor injuries and return to the field after recovering quickly. Some of them are more serious, and their careers may be over before they have started. Or it may affect the competitive state, and there is no way to go further, so he has no choice but to retire and choose another life.
Leaving the Yunyi Institute, the weather in Yanjing in February was still a bit cold. Chen Zhongzhou was wearing a thick down jacket and holding the results of Ye Qin’s examination in his gloved hands. He looked calm as he walked around. Ye Qin said:
“We have confirmed with the team that the following winter training will be placed on the US side, or on the Yunnan and Qiong provinces. Not to mention the cold winter weather in Yanjing, and the air quality is not good enough.”
“After that?”
Ye Qin heard Chen Zhongzhou talk about future winter training, he thought for a while, and then nodded, “I heard that the climate in Qiong and Dian provinces is better, and some training teams are training there.”
“It started before the Olympics. The Dian Province is the long-distance running team.” Chen Zhongzhou replied, and then said, “Besides, you will graduate from school this year, and it will not affect you in the future.”
Speaking of graduation, Ye Qin couldn’t help but laughed and shook his head, “I’m just a name, in fact, I don’t have too many classes.”
He entered Mizuki University in 2005, which is regarded as a special enrollment. By the first half of this year, he just graduated this year.
However, since entering Mizuki University, he has been taking not many classes. The first one or two years were better, and he also took some classes more or less. He also trained with the Mizuki University track team.
Later, the schedule was tight, his performance and status in the track and field were steadily increasing, and gradually he went to school much less frequently. The athletes basically follow the schedule throughout the year, usually in winter and spring.
Moreover, unlike Gu Kai, who is like a schoolmaster, Gu Kai is likely to stay in school after graduation, and although Ye Qin really wants to stay in school, it is naturally possible, but he is still an active athlete now, and these are too many to say. early.
But as Chen Zhongzhou said, after graduation, he doesn’t have to consider his choice of winter training in Yanjing, he can go to the United States or the warm provinces and cities in the south.
Ye Qin did not return directly to the dormitory to rest after leaving the Yunyi Hospital, nor was he ready to go to school.
Instead, I went directly to the indoor gym of the Training Bureau. I had been afraid to train because of injuries before. Now I have been confirmed by the doctor. Although I can’t perform high-intensity running and jumping training, I do some proper training in the gym. Strength training is still possible.
The old saying goes that if you don’t practice your legs and feet a day, it’s most obvious on athletes. Maintaining this physical state basically means resting for a few days without practicing, and there will be varying degrees of decline.
Of course, this decline is only compared to the time when it was in its best state. With the physical fitness of professional athletes, even the decline is still in a position to look up to compared to most ordinary people.
Moreover, the foundation laid down over the years is there, as long as you start systematic training, you can still find it back quickly.
…
United States, Florida.
Although the weather in February is not too high in the United States, Florida is warm like spring and sunny.
On an outdoor indoor track and field field, a silhouette of a figure on a standard 400-meter track is walking fast, and is training wholeheartedly.
On both sides of the track, many people are watching at the moment. Some of them are familiar faces of American track and field. Of course, there are also some residents nearby, and some children from seven to ten years old are watching attentively. The silhouette of the training on the field.
“45 seconds 65!”
When a fast-running figure crossed the finish line on the field, the electronic instrument next to him soon showed that he had just finished the standard 400-meter track.
Standing near the finish line, Jason Gaby put his hands on his hips and looked at the results on the timing cards, with a faint smile on his face.
“Good job, Jason!”
Lance Blauman smiled and walked over, threw a towel at Jason Gaby, and handed him another bottle of mineral water.
Although the weather in Florida at this time is very good, in winter and spring, just after the exercise, the cold wind blows, it is still easy for the players to catch a cold.
For the current Jason Gaby, the physical condition is too important, and he doesn’t want the other party to have any physical discomfort.
“Coach, your idea is right!”
Jason Gaby put the towel on his shoulders, took a sip of water, looked at the results on the time card, looked quite satisfied, “I think my condition is picking up.”
“This is also the inspiration I found from the oriental man.” Lance Blauman watched Jason Gaby’s mood improved for half a year, and then his mood became more relaxed.
Although the two have a mentor-apprentice relationship, he used to support Jason Gaby in college, but since Jason Gaby entered the professional arena, he went to jail and lost his job due to a lawsuit.
The relationship between him and Jason Gaby has been reversed. Although he is now a coach, Jason Gaby is the core of the team and his boss.
This is also the norm in professional sports in the United States, especially like track and field or some other individual events. After becoming famous, athletes build their own coaches and work teams.
Jason Gaby’s defeat at the Olympics last year can be said to have brought a huge sense of frustration to their entire team.
You know, even if Yechin and Youssef Bot broke the men’s 100m world record one after another and were hailed as sprint twin stars by the entire track and field world, it does not mean that the two of them really have no challengers at all. .
Asafaville is one, and Jason Gaby is also one.
In the face of the two who were in full swing at the time, Jason Gaby ran the American men’s 100m record of 9.77 seconds in the National Olympic Trials, surpassing Morris Green to become the first American sprinter.
By analogy, in another time and space, how much Chinese people expected Liu Yangyu’s performance at that time, so how much Americans expected Jason Gaby.
Unfortunately, the results of the Yanjing Olympics were not satisfactory.
After Jason Gaby suffered an accidental injury before the 200-meter trial, he first took a break from the field, and then completely disrupted his entire training and preparation plan.
He was eventually eliminated in the men’s 100m semi-finals at the Olympic Games and missed the final 100m final. And in the state of Jason Gaby at the time, even if he made it to the final in the men’s 100m event, but failed to break 10 seconds, it is very likely that he will still be at the bottom.
This is a great setback for the performance of Jason Gaby that the United States is looking forward to, as well as the performance of the American men’s sprint that can be called collapse.
In this respect, Jason Gaby’s position in sprinting and the impact of its commercial value are immeasurable.
Jason Gaby obviously knows this too. Both Yechin and Youssef Bot have been defeated by him in many games, but they eventually became gods in the Olympics and completely surpassed him. And other top sprinters, this is also very stressful for Jason Gaby.
However, now Jason Gaby has finally stepped out of the shadow of the previous Olympic Games. Through the injury treatment and state adjustment for the past six months, he gradually began to feel that he was back to the state again.
“Starting from the 400-meter training, the results are very significant so far, Jason, maybe you and Yechin may go to the World Championships or the next Olympics, and you can compete for the men’s 400-meter gold medal.”
As another coach of Jason Gaby, Jon Drummond joked on the side that he is also full of expectations for Jason Gaby’s return to the game.
There are so many people practicing sprint track and field in the United States, and black athletes with excellent physical fitness are even more capable of on-board. However, Jason Guy is probably the only one who can compete with the now thriving Yechin and Yousse Bot. Than.
No, there is another person. Jax Trin, the 2004 Athens Olympic Games men’s 100m champion, his talent in sprinting, as well as the mentality of competition, is also the only thing Jon Drummond has seen in his life.
It is a pity that Jax Trin has been suspended. According to the current time, I am afraid that it will not be possible until next year in 2010 at the earliest.
Moreover, after more than four years away from the track field, it is not easy to say what the state is at that time. After all, Jax Trin and Jason Gaby were also born in 1982, and by that time they were already in the late stages of their careers.
“I now somewhat understand why Yeqin was able to achieve this year’s results. Running 400 meters is very helpful in terms of speed and endurance for running one or two hundred meters.”
Jason Gaby did not answer the topic of Jon Drummond saying that he and Yechin will have a duel on the 400-meter project in 12 years. This matter is still too far away, but he passed the last six months. The most direct feeling of strengthening on the 400 meters is that he feels that his ability in the second half has been improved.
In the 100-meter event, for top athletes, the ability in the second half of the race is important and very important, but it is not important. In fact, you can put it aside.
Like Asafaville, his ability in the second half is not particularly good among top athletes. He was able to dominate the men’s 100m event before, mainly relying on his explosive power and speed ability in the first half. In the second half of the race, Asafaville can rely on the speed ahead and directly surpass his opponent and rush to the finish line.
In this regard, Asafaville and Yousef Bot are actually somewhat similar. Yousef Bot is 1.96 meters tall, and Asafaville is also 1.88 meters, both of which are tall sprinters.
Jason Gaby is only 1.8 meters tall. Compared with two athletes with long legs, his advantage is that he has a fast pace. The biggest problem encountered by fast pace athletes is the ability to maintain speed.
For him personally, by strengthening his speed ability, he can basically keep his high-speed cadence for longer. In the last 30 meters, 20 meters, or even 10 meters, he can hit the line at the fastest speed. .
This is also when he seldom uses the action of bowing his head and hitting the line in the sprint competition. The cadence and speed are too fast, and the redundant movements seriously affect his movements.
Moreover, this advantage of speed and endurance, he believes that he will have an effect at 100 meters, and at 200 meters, this advantage will be more prominent.
Just like Yechin, although the current men’s 200-meter world record is occupied by Yousse Bot, many people believe that if Yechin did not issue the 200-meter semi-finals of the Olympic Games, it is very likely that Youssei Bot is now The world record of 200 meters belongs to Yechin.
The answer is obvious. Yeqin won the men’s 100m world record and the men’s 400m world record. No one would think that his performance on the 200m would be such a top athlete with no shortage of speed ability and speed endurance. Lose to other items.
Not to mention that Yeqin’s start-up project is the 200-meter event, and he has won the men’s 200-meter championship in two consecutive World Championships.
“If you want to defeat your opponent, you have to learn from them.”
Jason Gaby silently chewed this sentence that he had seen in “American Athletics”. That issue was a special issue on the cover of Yechin. He saw the analysis of Yechin’s growth and growth in the magazine editor.
Needless to say, in the 400m and 200m events, Ye Qin spent far more effort to improve his starting and first half.
Learn the starting methods of other runners from a large number of competition videos. Yechin’s starting style has Carl Lewis, Morris Green and Asafaville’s shadows, and Donovan Bailey’s when he accelerates. Style, these were originally the things of other top athletes, after being absorbed and selected by him, they gradually became something of their own style.
Therefore, this young man from the East, in just a few years, has emerged from an international track record to an iconic figure.
Jason Gaby is now learning Yechin’s training method. His speed and endurance in the second half of the journey was good, but he placed the 200m in the middle of the high school and college level, and later also took the 100m, and has been the 400m. He put them aside.
Now that he picked it up and started training again, he felt that this project was very helpful for his improvement. Taking both speed and endurance into consideration is a great improvement in improving his overall strength.
“The February indoor competition has started~www.mtlnovel.com~Jason, how do you think about the next competition this year?” Jon Drummond asked next to him.
“First participate in a few warm-up indoor races. I want to run an indoor 60-meter run. After the outdoor race in May, I will try 400 meters first, but the center of gravity is still on 100 meters and 200 meters. Then I will participate in the competition. , And then prepare for battle.”
Jason Gaby has already made his own arrangements for this year’s competition. He paused a little while talking, and his tone was full of yearning for the follow-up competition. “The final goal is the World Championships in Berlin!”
The 2009 World Championships in Berlin, this is the most important event this year.
After the Yanjing Olympics, Yeqin and Yousei Bot both held the world’s two sprint world records in the competition, who will be the biggest winner, the whole world is full of expectations.
And Jason Gaby doesn’t want to be just a foil, he wants to get involved!
“If you can do it, I can do it too!”
