Born to Run

"Liu Yangyu and Ye Qin won the championship, but the trapeze said with a smile that he didn't make any effort after halfway."

In the men’s 110-meter hurdles at the Osaka Station of the IAAF Grand Prix on May 7, Johnson’s absence made the men’s 110-meter hurdles lack of suspense. Liu Yangyu easily won the championship with a time of 13.12 seconds. The second half did not fully exert force. This is also the second time that Liu Yangyu has won the championship after defeating the famous Alan Johnson at the Osaka Grand Prix in 2004 and breaking the Asian record.

In addition, Yechin, who just broke the national men's 400m record in early April, won the men's 400m championship in 45.34 seconds in the Osaka Race. After the game, according to Yechin’s coach Randy Hunter, the overall level of the Grand Prix is ​​not high, and Yechin has greater potential to tap. Before this year's World Championships, Yeqin will temporarily put aside the domestic competitions and go all-out on the IAAF World Tour. He will practice with competitions and strive to have a better performance in the World Championships.

"Athletics Twin Stars Shine in Osaka"

On May 7, the men's 110-meter hurdles Olympic champion Liu Yangyu once again won the Osaka Grand Prix. Because there was no challenge from a strong opponent, Liu Yangyu said after the game that it was easy to win.

The national record holder for men’s 200 meters and 400 meters, Yechin also won the men’s 400 meters gold medal at the Osaka Grand Prix. Great regret.

In a post-match interview, Yechin said frankly that he hopes to compete with last year's World Championship third place and current Asian men's 200-meter record holder in the men's 200-meter event, and the top players will help improve his personal competitive level.

"Yep Chin: I'm a newcomer to the international arena for the first time"

Our newspaper reported on May 7th that Yechin, who just won the men’s 400m champion at the Osaka Grand Prix, said in an interview with reporters after returning home that he was still a rookie in the international arena, but he just won an Osaka Grand Prix. , There are many more games in the future, and we need to work harder. As for the media listing him and Liu Yangyu as twin stars, Ye Qin said that he is still far behind Liu Yangyu's achievements, but will work harder, hoping to be worthy of such an honor one day.

...

Waco, Texas, USA.

The campus of Baylor University is quite quiet. Only in the north of Baylor University, there is a track and field field near the dormitory building. At this time, people started training in the field early.

"Your kid is hardworking enough. Yesterday, I lost jet lag, and I came to train today."

On the sidelines of the track and field, Yang Yao handed a towel to Ye Qin, who had just warmed up for 6 laps in the morning run, and lightly punched his shoulder with his hand.

"Time is too tight."

Ye Qin wiped the sweat on his forehead and neck with a towel, and sighed for a long time. "The game will be played on June 4th. The coach takes this game very seriously. My performance at the Osaka Grand Prix last time. , He is not satisfied."

"Forty-five seconds and thirty minutes is not satisfied, your coach is strict enough." Yang Yao cried out in surprise, then shook his head slightly, "but it's normal, your coach Randy Hunter Er is the world’s top famous teacher, and the 45-second time really doesn’t move him. It’s almost the same when I train under Clyde Hart. In training, as long as he doesn’t run for 21 seconds in the 200 meters, he I don’t bother to pay attention. In the eyes of their top coaches, our results are still a lot worse."

"Brother Yang, have you learned anything special in Coach Clyde?" Ye Qin raised his leg in place, and then asked Yang Yao with a smile.

After the Olympics last year, the Tianguan Center sent team leader Cai You, coaches Li Renjia, Ma Shiren, and four sprinters including Yang Yaozu, Jiang Bo, Zhou Jiamin, and Hu Cheng, to study in the United States under the tutelage of Michael Johnson and his coaches. Clyde Hart.

After Yechin followed Randy Hunter to the United States this time, he did not go directly to Eugene, Oregon, but went to Baylor University first. Randy Hunter, as the world's top famous teacher, is quite familiar with Clyde Hart, who is also a top coach. He happened to have Chinese athletes training here. Taking this opportunity, he brought Yechin directly to the United States. Training.

Clyde Hart has made remarkable achievements in the men’s 200m and men’s 400m sprints. He has cultivated two world record holders such as Michael Johnson. Last year’s Athens Olympics 400m champion, white athlete Jimmy Warner Follow him the same way.

The gathering of Chinese athletes from the two sides was naturally quite overjoyed. Last night, Yang Yao's coach Li Renjia even personally sold the dishes and cooked them, and made a meal of authentic local dishes to entertain everyone.

"The training method used by Coach Clyde is a bit similar to your previous training under Coach Nie. They are all based on a weekly schedule." Yang Yao said with a smile.

The training plan Nie Fangping once formulated for Yeqin was the weekly training model. The main reason was that Yeqin needed to study in class at that time. The weekly training model was able to match the students’ living habits in terms of time and benefit Yeqin. Chin maintains concentration and stimulates the state of the body.

After Ye Qin won the City Games championship in 2003, the winter training was at the Xinzhuang training base. Yang Yao followed Ye Qin and practiced under Nie Fangping for a period of time, so he is quite familiar with this.

"The weekly training mode is really good."

Ye Qin nodded. Most athletes’ training patterns are cyclical in nature, such as ten days, fifteen days, or according to the week. Ye Qin used to follow Nie Fangping’s weekly plan training pattern, which actually feels very effective.

But last year's winter training, Randy Hunter, in order to disrupt his inherent training mode, from three days to twelve days and other periodic training, has appeared, has disrupted Ye Chin's inherent training cycle.

Yang Yao organized the language a little, and then said, "After a few months of practice, I can't say some things at once, but the deep experience is that the training schedule is short, fast-paced, and efficient; those who focus on special running ability Cultivation. There are rich methods in arranging strength training, with few sets, short intervals, fast rhythms, and attaches great importance to the development of upper limb strength and balance strength. Do you think my arms are thicker than before?"

Yang Yao spoke, stretched out his arm, and made a movement like a strong bodybuilder.

"It seems to be a little stronger."

Ye Qin looked at Yang Yao carefully and smiled. When I came here yesterday, I saw Yang Yao for the first time and found that his body looks more symmetrical than when he returned to China for the Athens Olympics. It should have been a lot of improvement in personal strength.

"Recently, you can hurry up and ask Coach Clyde to ask more questions. Although your coach Randy is very powerful, he is a long jumper. Coach Clyde is a special men's 200m and 400m coach. ."

After Yang Yao put on a pose, he then said with a smile, "It would be nice if you had come to the United States to train with me. I guess you may be making more progress now than Jiang Bo and Hu Cheng."

Both Jiang Bo and Hu Cheng are athletes in the 400-meter event. On May 14, Yang Yao, Jiang Bo and Hu Cheng participated in a track and field competition held in Atlanta.

Because this game is not in the training plan, only three or four days before the game was arranged by the American coach, and the location was far away and took a four-hour flight. In a state of insufficient mental preparation and a little fatigue, the three participated in the competition.

Yang Yao participated in the men's 100-meter and 200-meter races, and Jiang Bo and Hu Cheng participated in the 400-meter race. Judging from the results of the competition, Yang Yao basically played his normal level. 100 meters in 10 seconds 40, 200 meters in 20 seconds 88.

In 2004, Jiang Bo's 400-meter race's five races were 47.05, 47.12, 47.30, 47.90 and 48.14. This time the race track took 46.88 seconds, which is a significant improvement. .

Another athlete, Hu Cheng, ranked 70th in the country in the 400-meter race in 2004. His best time was only 48.78. This time the track took 48 seconds~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to be considered fruitful.

Of course, in comparison, Ye Qin's progress is slightly more than that of a few people, especially when his personal strength in the 400 meters is strong, there is a relatively large improvement.

"It would be great to have Coach Randy to guide me."

Ye Qin didn't have any envy after hearing a few people talk about his grades. He had become accustomed to staying under Randy Hunter, and he felt that there was a lot to learn.

With the long time spent in the national team, Ye Qin gradually understood a lot of things. Under the Tian Management Center's strategy of "going out and bringing in", Yang Yao and others are considered to be a group of going out, while Ye Qin is a group of incoming groups.

At this time, the field management center also compares the athletes under the two strategic plans to see which method is more suitable for sprinting in Chinese track and field.

At that time, it was not that the team had never thought about allowing Ye Qin to go out. It was just that he was younger than other athletes. He was not an adult, and it was more troublesome to go abroad for long-term training. The other is that he still has high school studies, which he himself cannot accept.
