Run Out of My Life

In front of Kingston High Performance Training Centre, Jamaica.

The sturdy Norman Pelt once again glanced back at the teenager who was ten centimeters taller than him, and asked solemnly: "VJ, are you sure you won't decide for this? regret?"

"I won't regret it, Mr. Pelt." The black teenager is very tall, even among Jamaicans, more than 1.95 meters tall, and because of his height, it makes He looked a little thin, and was standing behind with a frown at this time, and said ramble, "Coach Coleman's training method has been successful with many athletes, so I told him no matter how many injuries, he It won't change either. If I go on like this, I'll be useless, my career that I just started is over, and I can't continue under him."

"If you really think it is necessary, I will go to the training center to communicate." Norman Pelt looked at the teenager in front of him and nodded.

He is optimistic about the young man in front of him. Since the first chance in 2003 to give the other party as a tutor, he has seen unparalleled potential in this young man.

The wages of working at the tax office in Montego Bay are so low that Norman Pelt has to work as a part-time tutor to make ends meet.

And that coincidental job application made him meet this young man. Especially after he had watched the young man nicknamed VJ play several times, he had an exciting idea.

"Norman, this teenager in front of you is going to be a superstar with more talent than anyone you've ever met."

Due to his experience in training 800 meters and his vision honed by many years of life experience, he decided at that time that he must approach the young man in front of him.

Give him the greatest help when he was just starting out in his life, helping him to embark on the road of a professional athlete and to the world track.

The rise of a track and field star is enough to change his day-to-day life that is neither promising nor boring.

From communicating with VJ's parents, to making a five-year long-term plan for him, and even under his leadership, the teenager in front of him embarked on the road of a professional athlete, Access to the best track and field training center in Jamaica.

Every step of the way, Norman Peelt is operating, because he firmly believes that the future of this black teenager is limitless.

The loss of this Olympic Games, the athletes he was optimistic about put forward the idea of ​​changing coaches, and he will support him no matter from which angle.

"However, VJ, you must understand that Coach Coleman was not hired by you, but arranged by the training center. I will now talk to the person in charge of the training center. This kind of thing is once Yes, but it can't be entirely based on your temperament."

Norman Pelt graduated from the University of Jamaica, and is also a highly educated member of Jamaicans. . Bringing a gifted and wayward athlete with you is a blessing and a nuisance.

"I know, Mr. Pelt." The black teenager apparently thought about it for a long time, "I'm not suitable for Coach Coleman's training method, I think the way of Coach Glenn Mills is the best suit me."

Norman Peel nodded, "You go back first, I'll let you know when I have news. Remember to go to nightclubs and drink less, understand?"

"Of course, sir." The black teenager grinned, ran away from the training center without looking back, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Running really fast!" Norman Pelt exclaimed, which is also the meaning of his standing here. Touching his bright head, Pelt stepped into the Kingston High Performance Training Center.

…

He Island, the track and field training hall in Minghu District.

Yesterday, Su Zu and Li Zhizhong were invited back to Hedao City. After attending an event in the city in the morning, they trained in the nearby track and field training hall in Minghu District in the afternoon.

Today is September 21st, and I have to fly to Yokohama to participate in the IAAF All-Star Game the day after tomorrow at the latest. I already need to hurry up and return to the training ground.

In the track and field training hall, after jogging, mobilizing skeletal muscles, pulling ligaments, and a series of preparatory activities, Su Zu continued to maintain a very high degree of concentration.

He just checked the data in his system before today's training:

Name: Su Zu

Age: 17

Occupation: Athlete

Physical Fitness: 26

Agility Quality: 26

Strength Quality: 28

Reactivity: 20

Endurance Quality: 20

Flexibility: 16

Potential: 78.4%

[Negative state-mild fatigue of psoas]

[Negative state - mild fatigue of back muscles]

[Negative state - mild abdominal muscle fatigue]

…

The intensity of large-scale competitions is great, and it is a great test for all aspects of the body. Similarly, under such a large intensity, the effect is also obvious.

As for the negative states such as mild fatigue that often appear in the system, Su Zu has not paid much attention. Athletes train with intensity, and rarely are they not in a state of fatigue. Moreover, he took a rest for half a month, and it was normal for him to just enter the recovery training at this time.

As long as it does not reach moderate or high fatigue, which affects the overall attributes of the body, he basically ignores it.

0.5%, 1%, and 2% affect the overall performance of the body's attributes. The impact is intuitively the decline of the athlete's state.

Other athletes do not have such negative state prompts, and many times they cannot feel which aspect of the body is the problem that affects their state. And Su Zu was able to use the reminders of these negative states in a timely manner, on the one hand to prevent injuries, and on the other hand to stabilize his competitive state.

In the track and field training hall, Su Zu stood in the open space beside the track, and in front of him were two common hurdles, one 84 cm and the other 106 cm. Su Zu stood in front of the hurdles, swapping left and right to stretch his legs to imitate the hurdle movement, while Li Zhizhong stared at the corrective action.

It's not that Su Zu wants to switch to the event. For the sprint event, the athlete's thigh strength and hip flexibility are very important. flexibility of the hip joint. Able to have a faster cadence and a larger stride.

It is very effective for the improvement of sprinting.

"Okay, take a break!"

In six or seven minutes, after exchanging his legs on the hurdle for one or two hundred times, Li Zhizhong saw that Su Zu's leg movements began to deform a little, and called to stop.

Su Zu let out a long sigh of relief. This practice method is relatively delicate. Except for some soreness in the thighs, there is no exhaustion. However, the movements must be in place, otherwise the exercise will not be effective.

"Su Zu, do you have something on your mind? I don't think your state is right!"

After stopping, Li Zhizhong looked at Su Zu frowning and asked. In the past training, he felt that Su Zu seemed to feel a heavy burden on his body, as if there was a dog behind his buttocks.

Beginning to think that it was the young man's yearning for fame and the future, which prompted him to endure such training and hard work.

But after the Olympics, the achievements of one gold, one silver and one bronze are already dazzling enough. Now, if you go outside and read the news, almost all the names like Su Zu and Liu Yangyu have been fired. And a child from a rural area, 16 or 17 years old, wants to be famous, to be profitable, and those bonuses add up to something that many people would never dare to imagine in their entire lives.

Although it is inappropriate to say this, Li Zhizhong felt that as a young man, as an athlete, Su Zu seemed to be unable to even see the least inflated mentality.

Li Zhizhong asked himself that he was already a very restrained and self-disciplined person, but being trained every day by Su Zu, his apprentice, forced him to take time off to rest. Twice.

"Coach, I just want to run faster." Su Zu patted the muscles of his lower thighs in place, and jumped for relaxation exercises.

"You are fast enough." Li Zhizhong frowned and said, "You are twelve or thirteen years younger than Morris Green, and three or four years younger than Gatlin. You can't beat your grades at all. Don't worry, in a few years, when you are about twenty years old, you should be able to surpass them. "

Su Zu was silent for a while, and said nothing. He also felt that what was coming seemed to be a knot in his heart, a shadow, thinking about breaking him all the time.

It is good to have goals, but it seems that he is pushing himself a little too hard.

"You, just do your best. I told you before that sprint training is a long process and cannot be done overnight. I don't know what you want to run out of. level, but you must not be overwhelmed and knocked down by other things. Keep your heart and take it slowly.”

Li Zhi faithfully and sincerely taught that athletes should work hard and focus, but they should not be crushed by unwarranted pressure.

Su Zu took a deep breath, thinking about it, it is true, four years are not long and short. He was able to achieve today's results in three years, and he could use the remaining four years to improve to a new level. And constantly put pressure on yourself, not to mention the body, there will be problems in the mentality.

He was honored and proud of his achievements in the Athens Olympic Games, but he was not so happy in his heart, just because of this achievement, because his mentality had not been corrected.

He embarked on the road of competitive sports, never to defeat anyone, but to surpass himself and run a different life.

"It's here!"

"The teacher said it should be here."

"Yes, yes, come with me."

In the training ground, Li Zhizhong was giving a psychology class to Su Zu, counseling the apprentice's psychological state, when suddenly there was a loud noise outside the door.

The two turned to look out the door, and a large group of people, forty or fifty girls aged 15 and 6, dressed in fancy costumes, suddenly rushed in like a group of sparrows.

"Hey, what are you doing, why are you here?"

Athletics Indoor Hall, a staff member of the Hedao Municipal Sports Bureau in charge of liaison and arranging room and board was always by the side. After seeing many little girls pouring in, they hurried forward to ask.

These girls may be a little timid by themselves, but it goes without saying that a large group of people are more timid and louder than anyone else.

"We are from Hedao No. 3 Middle School, who are you?"

"This track and field school arranged for us to come here for rehearsal."

"The day after tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the Hedao Games! We are going to perform on stage."

In the twittering answers, several people understood. This large group of girls are all students of Hedao No. 1 Middle School, rehearsing for the opening ceremony of the Hedao City Games in a few days. I don't know why they didn't communicate well, and Su Zu collided with the people here.

"Oh, look at that man!"

"It looks familiar!"

"Wow, it's Suzu!"

"Suzu!"

At this time, a large group of girls who ran into the stadium suddenly found Su Zu who was in the training hall, and suddenly the crowd boiled.

Yingying and Yanyan all gathered in front of her at once, pulling all kinds of people to sign, asking about Su Zu's emotional state, asking Su Zu various track and field questions, and the brand of clothes and shoes. In terms of age, they are a similar group of people.

Dizzy and dazzled, in just a few tens of seconds, Su Zu was like rolling in a zoo, surrounded by a group of people inside and out.

"Master, please stop me, I can't stand it." Su Zu looked a little panic and shouted to Li Zhizhong.

He turned his head and said to a group of girls, "Thank you for your support, alas, don't pull your clothes... I will work hard... Please let everyone make it..."

"Su Zu, your shoes fell off!" a girl shouted loudly with a smile.

Su Zu dared to look back at this moment, and disappeared outside the door of the track and field training hall in a flash.

And what about Li Zhizhong?

He was squeezed out of the crowd early on, looking at Su Zu's embarrassment from a distance, he didn't stop it, but smiled happily with his hands behind his back.

Only at this moment did he feel that Su Zu looked a bit young.
