Run Out of My Life - Chapter 334
“What is Su Zu doing?”
“Don’t know.”
“It looks like you’re adjusting your running technique.”
On the runway of the Haigen training base, Zhang Peimeng, Su Bingtian, Wen Yongyi and others saw Su Zu dangling on the runway all morning. Every now and then, lean over and start, then adjust again, then lean over and start again.
There was a period of time when both Li Zhizhong and Yuan Guohua appeared on the side of the arena, discussing something in a low voice, and chatting with Su Zu all the time.
Occasionally, a young man with a DV camera has been recording Su Zu’s movements by the runway.
Because of the progress of the training, in addition to the warm-up, although everyone in Su Zu’s routine training is together, the progress and training items are different.
“Brother Zhang, what is Su Zu doing?”
Zhang Peimeng leaned over to Zhang Pingqiu and asked in a low voice, among the few people, he came to the national team first, and he was familiar with Zhang Pingqiu.
“Su Zu discussed with Director Li yesterday, thinking about optimizing his running technique.”
Zhang Pingqiu glanced and explained to several people. As an assistant coach, he has a better understanding of the inside story. Su Zu actually put forward the idea of this aspect during the winter training last year, but he had just arrived at the Haigen training base for sub-altitude training, and the focus was different, so this was temporarily put on hold. And this year’s winter training, obviously Su Zu wants to make some changes.
“Su Zu still wants to optimize the technology?”
Zhang Peimeng and Wen Yongyi were a little stunned, and Su Bingtian on the side was also dazed. In their opinion, Su Zu is now the holder of the current men’s 100m world record, the world’s top sprinter, and a figure destined to be included in the history of track and field. The technology is already perfect, and there is still room for further optimization. technology?
But at this moment, the fact is in front of several people, and it is not surprising.
Zhang Pingqiu looked at the expressions of several people, and then said: “Athletes must learn to think. After reaching a certain level, the coach alone may not be able to give too much advice. For your own situation, make some optimizations in detail.
You are still at a relatively early stage, that is, you can only train according to the training plan and suggestions given by the coach. But there is a big problem with this, that is, the body is your own after all, and the intensity of training is often increased, which may exceed the load of the body or the exercise effect is not good. For example, Zhang Peimeng, you often find it difficult to train with strength, especially after putting on weights. It’s not that you can’t do it, it’s that individual physiques are different. In fact, reducing the weight and increasing the number of sets will also have a good effect. Or change a form of training, such as sitting and squatting, you can’t stand it, and you can use another way to strengthen muscles and core strength. The adjustment of these details, the active mining and adjustment of the athletes themselves, is sometimes more effective than the coach’s guidance. “
Instructor Li and Su Zu’s training has always been like this. Instructor Li will design many various training methods for Su Zu, but the intensity and effect of these training methods are mostly based on Su Zu’s Ancestor owns it. Improve as much as possible without getting yourself injured. “
After speaking, Wen Yongyi didn’t take it seriously. He was older, and he was not a few years younger than Zhang Pingqiu. He was a little tired of listening to this kind of preaching.
Zhang Peimeng frowned lightly, combining what he saw and heard, he had some ideas. But the new Su Bingtian’s eyes are shining, obviously these ideas are the first time I have heard of them.
Zhang Pingqiu will not say more, he has followed Yu Liwei and Li Zhizhong to coach in recent years, and gradually formed his own style of coaching and observing athletes.
Athletes want to have the talent for achievement first, and then the training attitude, that is, hard work. In addition to these accidents, the top athletes should have one more thing, that is, the strong pursuit of victory, honor, and self-transcendence.
Be able to actively and constantly think about your own training methods and improve your sports techniques and skills.
At this point, it is not obvious that the men’s 100 meters are more talented than hard work, but for many sports that combine skills and talents, this kind of athletes who constantly optimize and improve their skills , will inevitably go further.
At this time, Su Zu was standing on the track. After running, he frowned, thinking about the feeling of running this time.
The DV player in Yi Zhen’s hand next to him was handed to Su Zu, so that he could carefully read the running posture of his own.
“Master, what do you think?”
Su Zu took a few glances at the clips from the start to the acceleration recorded in the DV machine, and turned to Li Zhizhong, who was holding his hands behind his back.
“Reducing the stride seems feasible, but if you do this, it’s a process of adaptation.” Li Zhizhong said with a slight frown.
“How long will it take to get used to it?” Su Zu asked in silence for a while.
“Your technology has taken shape now. If you change it again, I can’t say for sure.”
Su Zu thought for a while, then walked to the starting line of the track, “Let’s try it first. I think 46 steps are too many, and my stride is not enough. Increase the surface of the back foot landing. Kei, the force will be better. Then with the swing arm, I think I can continue to charge forward.”
Li Zhizhong nodded, Su Zu’s current running style and technical points are probably the foundation he laid when he was in the Hedao City team.
The 100-meter run is 46 steps, although there are occasionally 45 steps, but after the movement is fixed, it will probably continue to run completely according to this rhythm.
Now, with the improvement of Su Zu’s strength and stride frequency, 46 steps per 100 meters is a bit too much for Su Zu.
Su Zu’s current height is between 1.87 and 8.8 meters, and the basic height is stereotyped. According to his leg length of 100 meters and 46 steps, there is still a lot of room for optimization.
These days, Su Zu has carefully watched his running style, as well as the running style of Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell in previous European competitions.
In terms of the running skills of several people, Suzu and Tyson Gay’s skills in landing on the soles of their feet are more than a bit worse than Asafa Powell.
Powell’s feet landed on a larger area. Although the contact time between the feet and the ground was longer than that of Tyson Gay, the same airborne time and stride distance made up for it.
From an objective point of view, there is no complete difference between technology and technology.
Increase the contact force between the sole of the foot and the ground, and increase the stride to about 44 steps. In addition, there is the ability to respond to the gun at the start, and change his arm swing in detail. These are the technical points that Su Zu felt that he could continue to carve during recent training.
Efforts to improve forward.
Su Zu now clearly feels that including the increase in potential value or the addition of attributes, the effect of improvement can hardly be directly reflected.
But if he encounters a big competition and meets a strong enough opponent, he still has the potential to explode. Since there is still potential, then through better technology, all the current capabilities of the body can be used more fully.
“You don’t run yet.” Li Zhizhong saw Su Zu on the starting block, stopped the road, and turned to Zhang Peimeng, Wen Yongyi and Su Bingtian on the other side of the track and field. waved.
“Director Li, what’s wrong?”
Zhang Pingqiu, who came with the three, asked aloud.
He was just pointing out some regular warm-up moves before the game. Everyone has taught them, but Su Bingtian has just arrived, and this set of the national team is relatively more formal. The action points can make the body better open.
“Su Zu optimized his movements here, let’s run with him to get a feel for it.” Li Zhizhong said with a smile, and then looked at Zhang Peimeng, Wen Yongyi and Su Bingtian, ” You can also watch for yourself during the run, from the start to the acceleration, the mid-run and the final sprint.”
Before the starting line, Su Zu looked at a few puzzled people, smiled, and said, “I changed my running technique, please accompany me to run a few times to see.”
Some people just guessed that Su Zu was changing something, and everyone didn’t know much about it. Now that Su Zu said this, he immediately understood.
After they took their places, several people leaned over in front of the starting line at the same time.
The whistle sounds.
At the moment of starting, Su Zu and Wen Yongyi are not much different. Wen Yongyi is the fastest starter in China after all, and 60 meters is the fastest in China except Su Zu .
Because of his height, Zhang Peimeng’s starting speed has never been a particularly ideal starting acceleration. He is relatively longer than the second half.
Su Bingtian, who is still relatively young now, does not have a complete technical style. He follows the one taught by the coach in the sports school before, which is more similar to a hurdler.
The four ran out together, and Su Zu was surprised to find that he was almost as fast as Wen Yongyi in the first 30 meters, and slightly faster than Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian.
I ran to a distance of fifty meters, and then gradually distanced myself from the other three.
And after crossing the finish line, the gap with the other three was not as big as expected.
Before the finish line, Li Zhizhong pressed the time on the stopwatch, saw Su Zu looking over, and announced the time on the stopwatch, “9 seconds 95.”
“9 seconds 95?”
Su Zu let out a sigh of relief and frowned.
According to the stopwatch of a professional coach like Lao Li, the time in handwriting must be controlled within 0.2 seconds. In this way, he only ran about 10 seconds 10 at the fastest time on this trip.
“Just now I was controlled at 44 steps?” Li Zhizhong asked after pondering for a while.
“More than 43 steps.”
Su Zu recalled his stride at the last moment of crossing the finish line, about half a step away from the finish line.
“This will not be effective in the short term, you have to at least start from scratch to get used to the stride, and be as precise as possible. After getting used to the new rhythm, it may return to the original level, As for breaking through again…”
Li Zhizhong said that he did not continue here, the implication is already very clear.
Sprinting to change the rhythm is a very difficult thing for athletes, and if Su Zu wants to break through again at the current level, even if he re-optimizes his movements, changing the rhythm may not necessarily be able to run faster than now Faster.
Su Zu actually knows that, increasing and shortening the stride length is actually not an easy task for an athlete who is accustomed to a fixed stride length and stride frequency.
The feeling of his running down can be said to have no rhythm at all. There are a few steps in the middle, but in the last few steps, the stride is not well controlled and drops again .
Being able to change the stride several times in the running like this, and run a result that is roughly equivalent to 10 seconds 10 in the electric record, it is already because Su Zu is the current top 100-meter strength level s reason.
But Su Zu also understands better that he now has to consider optimizing the stride length. His original stride is often 45 and 46 steps, which is the mainstream number of steps for most sprinters today .
Compared to the 41 steps of the later Jamaican Lightning, if he wants to form a strong competition, he must reduce his stride by one or two steps.
His height is controlled at 43 steps and 44 steps, which is a number acceptable for his body and cadence.
It is difficult to start reducing the number of steps in a short period of time, and it will definitely take a lot of time and effort.
Li Zhizhong knew every step of Su Zu’s training well and knew very early in the morning that Su Zu was a very assertive person. Moreover, after years of training and learning, Su Zu’s knowledge of sprint training has surpassed that of most athletes, and he is not much worse than a professional coach.
Even because he is an athlete, from a certain point of view, what he understands is clearer and more thorough than a pure coach.
Only the athlete knows himself best when it comes to adjusting the training plan and intensity. This is not obvious in the early days of professional athletes, but in the middle and late stages of their careers, most people can actually complete the training plan well even without a dedicated coach.
The training plan that Li Zhizhong now assigns to Su Zu is actually just an obvious plan. In fact, the implementation and completion of the details are often dominated by Su Zu.
Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian, who were on the sidelines, watched Su Zu and Li Zhizhong discussing various training plans with each other, and their eyes went straight.
Zhang Peimeng is better. After all, he has been Su Zu’s training partner, and he has also encountered situations where Su Zu and Li Zhizhong disagreed.
Su Bingtian couldn’t imagine that the athlete was discussing the training plan with the coach, and it seemed that Li Zhizhong was still mainly relying on Su Zu’s opinion.
His training at the sports school was that when the coach said he would practice like this, then he would practice like this, if he practiced like that, then he would practice like that. How could athletes have the right to speak? Even if the intensity is too high, the training hurts, or it is too tired to support it, there is no other way.
within the range.
At this time, he somewhat understood the meaning of what Zhang Pingqiu said just now, that athletes need to use their own brains to think about it.
This is not only a competition, but also in daily training, you need to learn and accumulate various knowledge to form a very systematic understanding of yourself.
Some English words that occasionally popped up between Li Zhizhong and Su Zu broke his original cognition. He and Su Zu were almost both selected to enter the sports school in junior high school.
But now it seems that Su Zu’s knowledge and understanding of kinematics far exceed their imagination. Moreover, this coach Li Zhizhong is not at all as arbitrary as many coaches he knows.
Su Bingtian knew that even coach Ning, who was very good to him in the sports school, would not allow him to question him when faced with training tasks and training plans.
Su Zu didn’t even realize this, but he was blank when he embarked on the path of competitive sports.
One thing he has more than young people of the same age is that he knows how to be professional. From the first time he entered the national team’s youth training, at that time, he attended classes to learn various physical education, sports human science, sports training, etc. During these years, while learning and practicing, the training experience and skills he mastered unknowingly were actually different. no less than others.
Because he is an athlete and can personally verify it, he absorbed many useful or suitable ones, and the whole cognition gradually surpassed that of many people.
Like Li Zhizhong’s cross-training water running, Su Zu still followed the training method Li Zhizhong said at first, but after a few times, Su Zu actually gradually found the most suitable training method for him.
Whether it is stepping in the air or adding a few dumbbells to strengthen the arm swing training, Su Zu is moving in the direction that suits his own situation.
Li Zhizhong understands that a talented athlete who knows how to think will surely be brilliant if he does not suffer major injuries in his career.
And even if this athlete is of average talent and has not achieved particularly good results in his career, if he has really thought deeply, from training to competition, combined with the perspective of an athlete and a coach, Often after he enters the coaching industry, he can quickly flourish and become a top excellent coach.
