Run Out of My Life - Chapter 344

    Under the scorching sun, on the track and field, a figure was training for adaptive running.

    This venue is the track and field venue of a middle school in Osaka City. Before the opening of the World Championships, the organizing committee specially arranged for athletes from various countries to carry out adaptive training.

    “Su Zu, it’s almost done.”

    Li Zhizhong looked at his watch, then squinted at the track and field in the distance. Although it was only about 9:00 in the morning, the whole track and field could faintly see the swaying and steaming heat.

    “One more run!”

    Su Zu stood in front of the finish line, raised one index finger and panted heavily, sweat dripping down his cheeks and neck, and his sprint suit was like being fished out of water.

    After finishing speaking, without waiting for Li Zhizhong to answer, he walked slowly to relax his muscles and returned to the starting line.

    Li Zhizhong smiled and shook his head slightly, looking at Su Zu’s current training state, he was satisfied from the bottom of his heart.

    However, as he got closer to the World Championships, he also saw that Su Zu was under a lot of pressure.

    The previous media interviews with Powell and Tyson Gay indicated the goals of this year’s World Championships. , When Li Zhizhong noticed this athlete from the very beginning, he also gradually learned that this athlete, like the previous Justin Gatlin, is also a big game player.

    American track and field is the current leader in sports, and the athletes who can survive the fierce competition basically have a very good psychological state.

    The footsteps of puff sounded again, from the starting line to the finish line, in the blink of an eye, Su Zu had already finished the 100-meter straight.

    After the Paris Golden League, Su Zu was able to run at a new rhythm and stride. He has been practicing and consolidating repeatedly to make his body fully adapt to this state.

    The seal carver Wang Mo has a saying: “Calligraphy and seal cutting is like going on stage. If you don’t practice for one day, you know it; if you don’t practice for two days, the expert knows it; if you don’t practice for three days, everyone knows it.”

    The same is true in competitive sports. There is a huge difference between an athlete who has been training for a long time and an athlete who has been training for a long time to stay prepared.

    Su Zu, now, has always wanted to completely engrave this familiar sense of rhythm and stride into his bones through training again and again.

    Familiar, naturally, only in this state can you use it directly and subconsciously when facing the challenge of competitors.

    “You have to pay more attention these days, Osaka is hotter than the imperial capital recently. The temperature exceeded 40°C earlier this month, and there are very, very many people suffering from heat stroke here in Osaka. IAAF that A color-coded table of temperatures has been issued, warning of the risk of heat stroke.”

    Watching Su Zu run over and come over, Li Zhizhong handed a bottle of water to Su Zu and whispered.

    Su Zu picked up the mineral water and took a sip, then poured it directly from his head. The weather in Osaka these days has basically reached 30 degrees in the morning, which is considered a complete high temperature state. These days, Su Zu has also heard about a lot of athletes suffering from heat stroke.

    Compared to the World Championships in Helsinki two years ago, this year’s World Championships in Osaka is what the summer competition should be.

    “By the way, coach, Powell and Tyson Gay, how are they both now?” Su Zu poured half of the bottle of water down from the head, feeling as if he had dissipated a little heat, while Asked while walking downstairs with Li Zhizhong to the shady classroom next to the track and field.

    “Powell arrived in Japan earlier than us, and the Jamaican track and field team was in Tottori before training for the World Championships. Hmm…” Li Zhizhong pondered for a while, “Yesterday, a reporter reported that Powell was in and out of the bar. information.”

    “Buy drunk?” Su Zu raised his brows slightly.

    Jamaica track and field athletes go to nightclubs and so on, Su Zu also knew something before. And in later generations, Jamaica dominated the world with lightning, and all kinds of gossip were exposed, not to mention.

    Only, at this time, when I heard that Asafa Powell went to a nightclub before the World Championships, from his standpoint, I still couldn’t believe it.

    A top athlete should go all out to prepare for the competition before the competition, and the preparation attitude of lingering in nightclubs makes Su Zu feel a little lost.

    “Don’t be confused.” Li Zhizhong seemed to see Su Zu’s thoughts, “You still have to prepare yourself, your opponent is not only Asafa Powell.”

    Su Zu nodded, knowing that it was 2007, and he had to face more and more challenges in the future except for Asafa Powell.

    In addition to 100 meters, he also has 200 meters, as well as Tyson Gay and the Jamaican Lightning who is gradually entering the peak, and he has to run faster!

    At the same time, in another training ground, the Jamaican track and field team also finished training for more than an hour a day.

    “Hi Asafa, are you going out for a drink tonight?”

    On the track and field, Nesta Carter smiled and greeted Asafa Powell.

    Three places for Jamaica in the men’s 100m at the World Championships this year, Asafa Powell, Clement Campbell, and Nesta Carter.

    Since defeating last year’s Jamaican National Championship winner Michael Flatt in the tryouts, Nesta Carter is in high spirits and has his sights set on a medal.

    “Forget it, Nesta, go on your own.”

    Asafa Powell shook his head. Since returning to his hometown in Jamaica, he has been deeply reflecting on his psychological state. The pressure before the competition always makes him feel out of breath. Come.

    He wants gold medals, wants to beat his opponents, wants to break world records, everyone in Jamaica seems to be focusing on him all the time.

    He just went to a small fast food restaurant, a bar and a club in turn to see what a Japanese city is like. Take this to relieve your stress. As for training, he showed up on the training ground as usual the next day after spending six hours walking around.

    The adaptive training of 1-2 hours a day these days, he did not relax at all, and under the media’s rendering, it seems that everyone thinks that he neglects training and lingers in nightclubs. of.

    However, that’s fine.

    His performance in the 2007 season was not ideal. Compared with the previous media rumors that Su Zu’s performance has declined, in fact, his state is not very good.

    Suzu has returned to the top of the competition that started last month, and his record of eight Grand Prix and Golden League victory has made him rush to the IAAF standings again. The number one position in the world.

    When he left Jamaica, coach Stephen Francis made it very clear to him that he never lost to other opponents, he lost to his heart.

    “Asafa Powell, the most talented 100-meter runner, a talented Jamaican, but he can only show off his strength in the IAAF Tour, and when he arrives in the competition, he becomes a soft egg .”

    “Powell has broken world records and is one of the fastest runners on the planet, but he’s got nothing like a rookie.”

    “Powell’s World Championships journey started in 2003, when he was sent off for stealing in the quarter-finals. Then at the 2004 Athens Olympics, Powell did not steal the run, But he became the last runner to start, and he only finished fifth. 2005 was Powell’s famous year. In Athens, the Jamaican created a new world record of 9.77 seconds. But due to the groin Injury, Powell missed the 2005 track and field world championships. Under the halo of Su Zu and Justin Gatlin, his world record has no halo, because in 2006, the world record was set by Su Zu three times…”

     Comments and reports one after another, the voices of doubts and criticisms have never subsided.

    Now, it’s time to see his performance.

    He has a fire in his heart, just like Su Zu who faced media doubts before.

    I need this gold medal, I want the championship more than anyone, the track in Osaka is fast, I have to not only win the gold medal, but also beat all the opponents, break the 100m record, wait and see Bar!
