Born to Run

"Ye Qin, you just ran too fast in the first half of the race. There is no rhythm at all. You are boring at 300 meters."

On June 8th, in the Icahn Stadium in New York, USA, Randy Hunter frowned, looked at Ye Chin, who had just finished a set of 400 meters, and said with a serious expression.

"Huh...huh..." Ye Qin stood on the side of the runway with his hands on his waist, panting heavily. After a while, he seemed to breathe a little better, before replied, "Coach, I want to try. Let’s see if I can go as fast as possible in the first half of the journey, at what stage will there be a noticeable speed drop."

"I know you want to let go of the first half of the rhythm you are used to, but Yeqin, this doesn't mean that you completely lose the rhythm, it won't work." Randy Hunter seemed to frown slightly, Eugene the other day After the end of the race, the master and apprentice had communicated with each other in this regard, and they were both making adjustments to the Yechin 400m event.

After a short pause, he continued: "Needless to say 400 meters, it is 100 meters. You know that in addition to starting and accelerating, the maximum speed is only a short run of 10 or 20 meters. You need It’s a reasonable allocation of your speed. Yeqin, your speed ability is not weak, but your physical fitness is not enough to support it. You should allocate your physical fitness and speed more reasonably in the first half of the journey to ensure that You have more impact when you sprint."

"It's still hard to get this point right."

Ye Qin nodded, and recalled the 400 meters that he had just finished running. It didn't feel like that simple, but he encountered great difficulties.

Unlike the one-to-two-hundred-meter sprint event, the 400-meter event cannot be run at the highest speed after the gunshots sounded. One or two hundred meters, you can only add up your own speed, and then head towards the finish line.

For the 400-meter project, there are more things to consider.

The distribution of physical energy and speed is a crucial link.

Even the top players, in order to be able to ensure their physical fitness and speed in the second half of the race, they need to properly control the rhythm in the first half of the race.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't let go and rush to run, but this kind of running is just after 200 meters, basically the body has excessive accumulation of lactic acid and excessive physical energy, and almost it may be completely unable to run later.

Ordinary people are like this, professional top 400m athletes still cannot escape this rule.

It's just that compared to the average person, professional 400-meter athletes have better physical fitness, plenty of physical fitness, and strong muscle tolerance. Even if they sprint at full speed from the beginning, their results can still be seen.

But when all the players are at the same level and there is not that big power gap between them, reasonable running skills are very important for the athletes.

After the 400-meter test at Baylor University, Michael Johnson suggested to Yechin that he could try to let go of some of the previous rhythms to run. Yechin made such an attempt when he was at Eugene Station, and the effect was very significant.

But it was also very difficult to run. The last 50-meter sprint almost squeezed all his strength, and he fell over after running. After crossing the finish line for a while, he almost couldn't even stand.

"This will take time. We can't rush it. You are now a professional athlete in the growth stage. Any technical adjustment now will affect the success or failure of your entire career in the future."

Randy Hunter has a cold face, and he is also considering what Yeqin said.

Arriving at Baylor University in the United States early, Randy Hunter was just to communicate with Clyde Hart. It turned out that changing the rhythm is the best way.

There is no shortage of basic ability training and special ability training. Randy Hunter has no shortage of these two aspects. He just has not really coached the men's 400m event. In some places, he is uncertain, and he still needs to be able to find someone to give him some advice. .

Yeqin’s previous running style can no longer support the level he has gradually improved. If he runs as before, Yeqin will have an obvious advantage in the middle and second half, and it will not even be too hard after the run, but it is obvious. , There is still a large part of the potential that has not been fully tapped.

But changing the rhythm is by no means an overnight thing.

Yeqin controlled the rhythm in the first half, accelerating at 250 meters, and then sprinting to the last 50 meters. This series of running methods is 400 meters from the beginning and continuous training for two or three years. Constantly strengthened and slowly formed a style.

In the past few years, Ye Qin himself didn’t remember how many 400 meters he ran. At the beginning, when his starting acceleration and speed ability were not fully developed, this way of running allowed him to run 400 meters all the way. Go far in the game.

Now it suddenly needs to be broken, and the most important problem is actually habit.

It’s very easy to make one or two hundred meters in front of you run a little faster. The key lies in accuracy. How to distribute the speed and physical energy in the first half of the journey most accurately, and then he keeps it. In the second half of the middle, there is still enough physical energy to sprint.

Like the one at Eugene Station, Yechin could feel that it was his extraordinary performance, not the extraordinary performance of the overall performance of the whole course, but the extraordinary performance of the last 50 meters.

The difficult situation in the last 50 meters that he could hardly run was a situation he had only encountered when he first started running 400 meters. If it were not for years of over-distance and speed endurance training, it would be a different person, even if the willpower is strong. You can't do it if you want to.

"Then coach, really don't run 400 meters in the New York station?"

It was originally planned that Yechin was going to participate in the men's 200m and men's 400m races at the New York station, but after Eugene's results came out, Randy Hunter gave up the 400m race at the New York station.

To be honest, Ye Qin felt a little pity in his heart.

In fact, he felt a bit strange inside. He was trained under Randy Hunter. I don’t know if it’s because of the coaching style of the other party, or because he is getting older. Some own thoughts.

Especially with this 400-meter adjustment, he feels that he should run more 400-meter races at this time, and adjust his rhythm through the race. After all, he can't meet such a high-level opponent in China, and he has a rare opportunity.

Randy Hunter obviously saw Yechin's thoughts, shook his head slightly, and explained: "Your current rhythm is a bit messy, we need to study for a while to determine your more fit speed distribution. For the New York station, you can take the 200m."

Saying ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Randy Hunterton paused, and then said, "This is also more beneficial to your future development. You just won the 400m championship at Eugene, if Suddenly ran eighth in the second stop, which is not good for your impression of others in the future. Moreover, 200 meters, you have not run well this year, go all out to run your own good in the 200 meters race Achievements, you will soon be able to make the American track and field community not ignore you."

As an American, Randy Hunter, to a certain extent, still cares about the American track's view of him taking an Asian player.

Personally speaking, he just won a Eugene Grand Prix, and he even hopes that Yeqin will stop and leave the United States directly.

At this point, Randy Hunter is a bit similar to some domestic coaches and athletes at this time. After a certain game suddenly produced particularly good results, he hurriedly began to rest and adjust, nothing more than fear of the future. The run was smashed, without the sensational effect of the previous good results.

Another point is that Yechin's 200m really needs a good run. There is no 200m race at the Osaka Station and Eugene Station. New York Station is a good stop for this tactic.
