Run Out of My Life

On the afternoon of February 14th, arrived at the Imperial City.

Under the arrangement of Zhang Pingqiu, the group left the airport and went straight to the Training Bureau of the General Administration of Sports. This is the earliest comprehensive national training base in China.

Lu Jianming found a dormitory for Su Zu in the living area of ​​the sports team in the Western Academy of the Training Bureau, and then led him straight to the General Administration Field Management Center and the Field Association. , After completing all the procedures for joining the team, and meeting with Feng Shuyong, the head coach of the track and field team, who is training here, in the national team apartment building of the Beijing Sports Sports, it is considered that all the procedures are complete.

The names will be officially listed in the 2003 National Track and Field Team Athletes and Coaches List announced by the national team later. In the future, the athletes' training plans and preparation plans need to follow the various plans and regulations formulated by the Athletics Management Center of the General Administration.

The national team has not issued a training notice yet. Most of the athletes follow their coaches in charge, or train in the original provincial and municipal sports teams.

Stayed for one night in the dormitory of the sports team in the Training Bureau of the General Administration. Early the next morning, Lu Jianming and Su Zu boarded the bus arranged by the Field Management Center to go to Tianjin.

Today is February 15th, and the National Indoor Athletics Championships will start on February 17th. The time is relatively tight. Fortunately, the Imperial Capital is not far from Jinmen. At this time, because the high-speed train has not yet opened, it can be reached within two hours by car, including the distance in the urban area and the expressway.

In addition to Su Zu and Lu Jianming participating in the Southwest Institute of Technology in the same car, there are more than a dozen coaches and athletes representing the Beijing Institute of Physical Education. Lu Jianming and most of the coaches They are all familiar. The track and field team of the Beijing Sports Academy has always been known as the reserve team of the national track and field team. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a family.

It was 10:00 am when I arrived in Tianjin, and settled in the hotel arranged by the organizer. In the afternoon, Lu Jianming and several coaches from Beijing Sports took Su Zu and several other male and female athletes to the Tianjin Sports Center for simple adaptive training.

The Tianjin Sports Center was built to hold the World Table Tennis Championships in 1995. The scale and facilities of the venue are considered to be relatively high-end and complete. Because it was an indoor competition, the gymnasium on the field was not closed. At this time, the temperature in the Imperial Capital of Jinmen was relatively low, and occasionally there was some snow, and the field was slippery. If I really wanted to train outside the field, I could only do a simple warm-up long-distance run.

"Coach Zhuang?!"

Su Zu entered the indoor gym just as he was about to take off his jacket and start training, when he suddenly saw a big man walking in front of him. Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Zhuang Tao, who had not seen him for more than half a year after leaving the sports school.

Jiu's height, broad shoulders and round waist, ordinary athletes look small in front of him, but now that Su Zu is standing in front of him, he is already a bit bulky, and the gap is not as big as before.

"Coach Zhuang, it's really been a long time, how are you now? Last time Quanshan told me that you were in the provincial team?" For his first place in Jianping Sports School As a professional track and field coach, Su Zu taught Zhuang Tao hand-in-hand to get started, and Zhuang Tao spent a lot of time running up and down in order to recommend him to the provincial team. Although it failed in the end, Su Zu was grateful from the bottom of his heart. .

"The head coach of the second provincial team, do you think it's okay?" Zhuang Tao patted his chest and said with a smile, "I heard that you were pushed from Hedao City to join the youth training of the national team. Camp, true or false?"

The two used to be teachers and students, but when they met again, the relationship seemed to have drawn a lot, and there was less estrangement when speaking.

Su Zu said with a smile, "I just joined the team and I am a member of the youth track and field team."

"Good boy, not bad, not bad." Zhuang Tao reassured, "I said that there was something wrong with Lao Shen, and I just pushed you out, but now you are in the national team. By the way, Are you here to compete this time?"

"Well, yes." Su Zu nodded, pulled off his jacket, revealing the sports vest inside, and pointed to the icon on the clothes, "I'm here to run 60 meters this time, and the coach will give it to me. This year’s plan is to participate in more competitions and accumulate experience in competitions.”

"The plan is good. I also watched your track and field championship competition in the Central Five Sets last time, and the progress far exceeded my expectations. However, you are here to participate in the indoor competition, right? You are so inauthentic." Zhuang Tao raised his eyebrows and sighed, "You are from Ronghai, from Jianping Sports School to Hedao City Team, you don't all train in Ronghai, and your personal relationship is still there. In Hedao City. What's the point of wearing a technical sports academy uniform?"

"Uh... Coach Zhuang, this is no big deal." Su Zu didn't know why.

Zhuang Tao lowered his voice and said: "You are now an athlete of the youth track and field team, this is nothing, but after communicating with your coach in charge, you are also on the provincial team. It's just a name. You still have to pay attention, otherwise, it will still be a little troublesome when the National Games of the City Games arrives."

This is also because Su Zu doesn't know much about the competition mechanism of domestic competitions. Basically, most of the competitions are based on provinces and cities. For immigrant athletes, it is still necessary to clarify the affiliation of the participating units, otherwise it is impossible to say whether they will blame each other and cause criticism.

However, Zhuang Tao is also talking about this from the perspective of ordinary athletes. If he is an excellent athlete who can produce results, he is basically the target of various sports teams. .

Su Zu understood what Zhuang Tao meant, but didn't think Lu Jianming did it on purpose. Lu Jianming had already told him before, but from the perspective of the national team coach, The key is that athletes have to be eligible for the competition. At that time, they could get a name directly at the Sports Technology College, and if they couldn't make it, they could communicate and coordinate with the local team.

And what's really unpleasant, he is the coach from the Bayi team, the big deal is to get Su Zu over, an athlete who can produce results doesn't need to worry too much about this.

Zhuang Tao also understood this, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I will not talk about this matter, and it is not your responsibility. But in the second half of the city games, you have to wear Our Ronghai team uniforms, I will coordinate for you when the time comes. If the national team does not have a training camp, you can also come to the provincial team to train."

Zhuang Tao remembered Su Zu's competition and asked, "You are participating in the 60 meters, how much can you run now?"

"I can have six seconds six or six seconds seven during training." Su Zu replied.

"The grades are good, but you have an opponent this time. There is a newcomer in the team, and he is also from the sports school below. 100 meters is a lot worse than you, but 60 meters, The running is still very good, the last training can run to about 6 seconds 7."

"Then let's compare it when I get time. If I run 60 meters, I also have to see how I run?" Su Zu didn't care about Zhuang Tao's rumors. As a professional athlete, Competing with other players is the norm. Saying it is useless, you have to see the real chapter on the track and field.

"Oh, tell me in detail." Zhuang Tao was interested, although he already knew that Su Zu ran downwind in last year's national track and field championship with a time of 10.17 seconds, but his personal impression still remains to some extent At the level when he was in sports school.

"I was in Hedao later, and coach Li Zhizhong optimized my 100-meter running method for me. It is a little different from before. The acceleration time in the first half will be longer, and it is more suitable to run 100 meters, but If you run 60 meters, this distance is a bit short." Su Zu briefly talked about the change in running technique.

Zhuang Tao groped his chin and thought for a while, "When I was in the sports school, I practiced the basics, and it was too rough in these aspects. Now that you have a coach in charge, I won't say much. However, you are now focusing on accumulating experience in competitions, and it’s okay to try a few more running styles. With your current height, you will definitely suffer from a slight disadvantage in acceleration, and your height growth and strength changes will all be different.”

Su Zu's current height is over 1.8 meters, about 18283. At this height, it is extremely rare for a yellow race to start and accelerate very quickly.

And after the 1980s and 1990s, in the sprint events, especially in the 60m and 100m, the sprinters who are truly dominant in the international field Prefers small to medium strong builds. It is the kind of player with strong muscles, fast pace, and running like a small steel cannon. Like the 2000 Sydney Olympic champion and the 60-meter world record holder Maurice Green is 176cm tall, but his muscular strength is terrifying. In addition, Tim Montgomery, who broke the world record in the men's 100 meters at the IAAF Grand Prix in Paris in 2002, is 168cm tall.

In the 60-meter sprint event, which pays attention to the start and acceleration in the first half, the short runners with strong explosiveness and quick start and acceleration will naturally have an advantage.

Of course, this discussion is also based on the outstanding players currently at the first level. In fact, the men's short track events have been improving rapidly since 2004, and the selection criteria for athletes are not the only ones. Fast is the ultimate criterion.

"By the way, coach, didn't the whole mountain come?" The two talked again, Su Zu looked at the players who were doing adaptive training and asked Zhuang Tao.

Zhuang Tao shook his head, "This time the main team here is to save the first team. He is still far behind. Let's talk about it when he can run in 47.5 seconds."

"Su Zu, ready to come and train."

While the two of them were talking, Lu Jianming, who had already surveyed the site, came back.

"Coach, this is my former sports school coach Zhuang, and he is now the head coach of the Ronghai Second Team." Su Zu saw Lu Jianming walking back and introduced him.

"Hello, Coach Lu, I've heard the name for a long time. When I was an athlete, you were the head coach of the Bayi team." Zhuang Tao took the lead in reaching out to Lu Jianming, He looked quite respectful.

"Is it Zhuang Tao? I remember you, there was such a big man in the National Games back then." Lu Jianming also laughed.

Su Zu did not expect the two to know each other, but they are both in the sports system. If they have achieved results, even if the coaches and athletes are not familiar with each other, they will be somewhat impressed on the track and field.

After chatting for a while, Zhuang Tao also said goodbye and left. He is the coach leading the team, and the athletes have to guide. Su Zu and Lu Jianming walked onto the runway and began to do adaptive training. train.
