Chapter 137 The King of Athletics Participating in the 400m Race

Coach Sun has been with Liu Feiren all the time, he found that Liu Feiren has been watching Zhang Guan's training, and said with a smile: "Why, want to try it too?"

Liu Feiren shook his head: "I'd better focus on one thing. But I always feel that Zhang Guan's 400-meter run is a bit weird."

"You can see it too?" Coach Sun continued, "It's not just weird, it's a different kind of thing. There's no athlete like him running like this!"

Liu Feiren didn't quite understand, so Coach Sun said: "The running methods commonly used by our domestic athletes are: the first 100-meter rhythm, the second 100-meter linear acceleration, the third 100-meter rhythm, the fourth A 100-meter sprint."

Liu Feiren nodded, he knew this. In the 400-meter sprint, the runners are in a curve after the start. Since the physical strength is relatively sufficient at this time, the athletes run relatively easily. At the same time, the athletes need to enter their familiar exercise rhythm as soon as possible at this stage. Running according to the rhythm will save a lot of energy. After entering the straight track, athletes will choose to speed up, and they will use about 90% or even 95% of their power to run.

Then enter the second corner, which is the most difficult stage for athletes. Due to the acceleration in the straight line, the physical strength has been exhausted, so you will feel tired or slightly suffocated in the second corner Feeling, this is a normal physiological phenomenon brought about by anaerobic exercise, athletes will also slow down slightly at the second corner to adjust. After entering the final straight, you can run as fast as you can until you cross the line.

Coach Sun next to him continued to explain: "I'm also observing Zhang Guan. He doesn't use this kind of running method. He ran at the same rhythm for the first 300 meters, whether it was a curve or a straight road, and then he ran at the last straight road. Can sprint. I secretly asked Lao Yu yesterday, and he said that Zhang Guan is not very good at switching between curves and straights, so he simply uses this running method."

"Hahaha, so I can't learn it! He also has such an embarrassing time? I thought he invented a new 400-meter running method!" Liu Feiren laughed.

"I also think it's quite funny. Zhang Guan should be the first one to choose another running method because he can't learn it! However, this running method is not an innovative running method, but a very retro running method. Probably when this kind of running method appeared, the generation of your parents was just born!" Coach Sun said.

Liu Feiren listened quietly, waiting for Coach Sun to continue to answer, and Coach Sun continued: "When there was a 400-meter sprint at the beginning, no one knew how to run. They just stretched their legs and ran forward. It was blind running; later athletes discovered that if they ran at the same rhythm, they would save a lot of physical energy, and then use these physical energy in the final sprint, which would have a very good effect, so the 400-meter running method at that time was The first 300 meters is almost a rhythm, and the back is a straight sprint, which is Zhang Guan's current running method."

"But everyone uses this running method, and the game is not much to watch, especially when the strength of the athletes is similar, everyone runs the same in front, and there is not much difference when it comes to the final straight track. It's like watching a 100-meter sprint that lacks physical strength. Later, more modern running methods began to appear, such as the first corner to quickly enter the straight, then increase the speed of the straight and then enter the curve to adjust. There are also European and American runners. The 250-meter sprint and so on. Especially after the appearance of Michael Johnson in the United States, the sprint technology has been greatly developed. Our country’s 400-meter sprint technology is actually very backward, and now West Asian athletes and Japanese athletes have begun to adopt it. The technology of some European and American countries has lost its way.”

Liu Feiren nodded, and then asked: "Isn't Zhang Guan already behind the times with this retro running style? Will he be very passive during the competition?"

"It's possible, but it's not entirely certain. In the 400-meter sprint event, each athlete will have a set of running methods and rhythm distribution methods that suit him. Since athletes don't need to merge, there are fewer tactical considerations, as long as they follow their own rhythm. Running is enough, so it is actually a test of strength.” Coach Sun thought for a while, and then continued: “Zhang Guan’s 100-meter sprint is the best in the world, and he is much better than other domestic players. In terms of physical fitness, he can run 400 meters better than many professional 400-meter runners in China!"

Field Management Center

There was a knock on the door, Director Luo shouted "Come in", and then Director Ma pushed the door open and came in.

"Director, I have something to report to you." Director Ma sat directly opposite Director Luo, and continued, "It's about Zhang Guan."

"Zhang Guan? What's the matter with him?" Director Luo's heart tightened. The turmoil of dating has just ended, so there must be some new problem!

"It's like this. Regarding East Asian athletes, Zhang Guan said that he doesn't want to participate in the 100-meter sprint!" Director Ma said.

"Don't participate? No way!" Director Luo was suddenly annoyed. He suddenly felt that what the annoying President Qu said was quite reasonable. Maybe it was really not good to give athletes too much autonomy. How long did Zhang Guan actually want to refuse? Enter!

"Director, don't get me wrong, Zhang Guan proposed not to participate in the 100-meter sprint, but to participate in the 200-meter sprint and 400-meter sprint instead." Director Ma continued.

"Oh? 200 meters? 400 meters? Can he do it?" Director Luo immediately calmed down, and the annoyance just now disappeared without a trace.

"I think 200 meters should be ok. I have seen him run 200 meters. He has the ability to run under 20.20 in the 200-meter sprint. But I can't guarantee it for 400 meters." Director Ma explained

"20 seconds 20? It's 0.3 seconds faster than the national record!" Director Luo was surprised, and then he said with relief: "Yes, he is more than half a second faster than other domestic athletes in the 100-meter event, and 0.3 seconds faster than 200 meters is very fast That's normal. So it's not far from the Asian record? Is it possible to win a medal in a world competition?"

"It may not be close now, but it is definitely possible in two or three years. If it is an Asian competition, there must be no problem with the medal, and there is probably a chance of a gold medal!" Director Ma replied.

"In two or three years, that means we can catch up with the next Olympic Games!" Director Luo suddenly became excited. He had already imagined that Zhang Guan would win the 100-meter and 200-meter championships in the next Olympic Games. Meter sprint, let him try it. But for 400 meters..."

Director Luo hesitated, 400 meters and 200 meters are not the same, if compared with 100 meters, the span is larger.

Director Ma next to him said: "I heard from Lao Yu that although Zhang Guan's 400-meter technique is still lacking, his rhythm is quite good, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, why don't we test it? he goes."

Director Luo nodded: "Okay, Cece! If he can run to 46 seconds, let him go to the competition."

...

In the restaurant of the Xinzhuang Training Base, Liu Feiren and Zhang Guan happened to sit face to face.

"Today's beef is really good." Liu Feiren picked up another piece of stewed beef, and then asked: "I heard that you applied not to participate in the 100-meter sprint in the East Asian Games, and changed to run 200 meters and 400 meters?"

Zhang Guan nodded: "There are only a few people participating in the East Asian Games. The 100 meters is not difficult. The strongest Japanese can run in even 10 seconds. They have no passion to abuse food. So it is better to leave the opportunity to our country For other athletes, if I don’t participate in the 100 meters, I will be able to control a place, and let other athletes go on the field to practice and gain experience. During the Track and Field Gold Grand Prix a few days ago, Hu Kai performed well and ran first. Five, maybe you can enter the A standard in the future."

"It's true. You are half a second faster than others. It's not interesting to run. You have run 200 meters well recently. I heard that the training level can basically be maintained within 20 seconds by hand. If you switch to electronic timing It’s just over 20 seconds, so it’s no problem to dominate Asia.” Liu Feiren took a sip of the soup, and then said, “However, your 400-meter run is really horrible! Although I have never run 400 meters, I can see that your skills are not good enough. How about it, especially when you first started practicing, it is simply amateur level."

"Don't worry, just practice slowly. After all, the 400 meters require too much skill. It is estimated that after two months of serious practice, it will be better by the beginning of next year." Zhang Guan continued: "This afternoon, Ma The director came to test me and said that as long as I can run 400 meters in 46 seconds, I will be allowed to compete.”

"46 seconds? Such a high requirement!" Liu Feiren leaned forward slightly, and then asked, "Are you confident?"

"No problem, isn't it just 46 seconds!" Zhang Guan said confidently.

"Now I really envy you if you practice sprinting. If you run 200 meters, you can also run 100 meters or 400 meters. Like me practicing hurdles, I can only run 110 meters. It's really boring." Liu Feiren sighed.

"Why don't you apply for the 4 x 100 meters for East Asian athletes? It doesn't matter if you don't run fast, I'll take care of it for you."

Liu Feiren shook his head: "Forget it, the 4x100-meter relay race, the current lineup will definitely win the championship, so I won't make trouble."

...

The men's 400-meter sprint level of the national team is relatively low in the world. If the national team's 100-meter sprint can still be at the forefront of Asia, then the 400-meter sprint can only be regarded as a low-level level in Asia. There are only two international-level athletes in this event who have reached the standard in 45.74 seconds, and there are not many national-level athletes who have achieved the standard in 47.60 seconds. The A standard of the 400-meter sprint Olympic Games is 45.55 seconds, and the B standard is 45.95 seconds. However, in the two years before the Athens Olympics, no one from the national team ran into the Olympic B standard. Rice competition.

The 46 seconds mentioned by Director Luo is actually considered a top score in China. In the 400-meter sprint event, there were only three athletes in the country who ran under 46 seconds before. Two are active players and one Is a retired player. The score of 46 seconds can have a great chance of winning a medal even in Asian track and field competitions.

In domestic general-level competitions, the 400-meter sprint can be won in 46.5 seconds. In the 10th National Games that just ended not long ago, the top three results were 46.15 seconds, 46.44 seconds and 46.66 seconds. Second.

Therefore, 46 seconds is actually quite difficult.
