This sudden task made Su Bai stunned for a moment. He was silent for a few seconds, complaining in his heart that this stupid system had tasks that came as it pleased and skills that appeared out of nowhere.
However, this skill is very suitable for his current situation.
Communication between coaches and athletes is an important factor that affects the transmission of ideas and technical guidance between the two. Once the coach cannot clearly express his needs and ideas, or the athlete cannot understand the content and key points of what the coach says, it is very likely to lead to misunderstandings between the two or the technical guidance will be ineffective.
Su Bai was temporarily assigned a task by his master, which directly triggered his current skill of "Technical Guidance". It can be said that the stupid system was giving him a backdoor.
Su Bai's thoughts were spinning in his mind, and he quickly put these things behind him for the time being, and walked straight up to Qiu Wen.
"Xiaobai!" Qiu Wen saw Su Bai, blinked, raised his head and chest, and made an expression of 'I'm fine, I can do it'.
Su Bai looked at him with some amusement, then thought about it and asked the assistant coach next to him to get all the historical records of Qiu Wen.
The teaching assistant had already received instructions from Zhao Heping, so he readily handed all the information to Su Bai. Qiu Wen was a little confused when he saw Su Bai holding a stack of his information, but he still stood aside obediently without saying anything.
Su Bai took these data, firstly to hide the fact that he could understand Qiu Wen's situation without the information, and secondly because there were indeed some data in these training business files that could not be understood in detail by just looking at the system panel data.
So, after taking the information, Su Bai looked at Qiu Wen's panel attribute data while flipping through Qiu Wen's training data in his hand. He began to quickly think about how to explain to Qiu Wen, who had not undergone systematic 400-meter training, the physical mobilization and arrangement of the entire process of the next 400 meters.
The 400-meter sprint, as the longest distance sprint event, is not a pure anaerobic exercise like the 100-meter sprint, but a mixture of anaerobic and a small amount of aerobic exercise. In such a long race of 400 meters, it is impossible for athletes to run at the highest speed throughout the entire race. Normally, the highest speed of 400-meter athletes will appear in the 100-200-meter stage. The second half of the 200-400-meter stage of all athletes will be weaker than the first half. The time difference between the first and second halves is a standard for testing the athlete's speed endurance, and it is also a crucial part that affects the athlete's performance.
It can be said that the faster the athlete's absolute speed is, the better the results per 100 meters will be. Therefore, the absolute speed can determine the upper limit of the athlete's overall 400-meter results. When the athlete has strong enough speed endurance, his speed will not drop significantly in the second half of the race, and he can maintain his maximum speed to the greatest extent, which is the guarantee for the athlete to achieve excellent results.
Of course, no matter how strong a runner is, it is impossible to complete the entire 400-meter race at full speed, so in the segmentation of the entire race, the runner needs to be able to master his own best rhythm and at the same time clearly define the speed distribution of the 400-meter run.
Su Bai stared at the information in his hand, frowning slightly - the problem now is how to make Qiu Wen understand the speed distribution of the 400-meter race and be able to perform immediately in the subsequent test.
Qiu Wen's personal attribute panel showed that his speed endurance, strength endurance and other values were far higher than other ordinary values, but he was not without flaws in the 400-meter or the entire sprint event. The data for the sense of rhythm in Qiu Wen's attribute panel was relatively mediocre, which meant that under the current temporary testing conditions, Qiu Wen's own rhythm control and speed distribution might not be able to reach the ideal state for the time being.
What should I do about this?
Su Bai rubbed his forehead and decided to focus his explanation to Qiu Wen on "speed distribution". At the same time, he began to calculate in his mind how to explain the pace to Qiu Wen more concisely and clearly.
Beside Su Bai, neither the assistant coach, Zhao Heping nor Qiu Wen spoke to influence Su Bai's thinking.
From the moment Su Bai took the training business file and started to look through it, Qiu Wen understood that the person who would provide him with overall tactical guidance before the test would be Su Bai.
He did not feel any dissatisfaction because Su Bai was not his official coach. After all, the person who actually pointed out that he might have the talent for 400 meters in the coach's office this morning was Su Bai himself.
Everyone was quietly waiting for Su Bai's thinking results, and the assistant coach, under the instructions of Zhao Heping, had found the only two 400-meter athletes in the team and signaled them to warm up immediately, as they would be needed to participate in a temporary test match later.
After several minutes of quiet and undisturbed thinking, Su Bai finally came out of his contemplative state. He turned his head to look at Qiu Wen, took Qiu Wen directly to the side of the track, and then looked back at his master Zhao Heping.
"Master, can the equipment on the track be used normally during the test?"
Equipment on the track?
Zhao Heping raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said, "Okay."
Hearing this answer, Su Bai's eyes lit up, and then he pointed to a not-so-conspicuous device beside the track: "Can the segment timer also be used?"
Su Bai's question made Zhao Heping laugh. He didn't expect Su Bai to come up with such an idea. This segment timer can be set to a specified number of seconds, so that the athletes can be more clearly and accurately aware of whether their current speed and rhythm are correct when doing segment training.
For Qiu Wen, who has not yet conducted special training for the 400 meters, the segmented timing prompts can indeed help him understand more clearly whether his current rhythm is accurate.
Of course, this does not mean that strictly following the signal prompts of the segment timer is absolutely effective. This may also affect Qiu Wen’s own rhythm and lead to the collapse of Qiu Wen’s overall performance.
But since Zhao Heping had given Qiu Wen's first training instruction to Su Bai, he would not say anything extra, but stood aside and carefully observed how Su Bai was going to deal with the current situation.
In the following time, Su Bai directly asked Qiu Wen to repeatedly perform 8 sets of 100-meter trial runs and recorded the test data of Qiu Wen's 8 sets of trial runs. Finally, he gave Qiu Wen 20 minutes of rest time. During the 20-minute rest time, Su Bai briefly explained to Qiu Wen the key elements of the 400-meter run and the 400-meter speed rhythm arrangement he prepared for Qiu Wen.
"Don't worry about the other two runners next to you. You haven't done any special training, and your pace is unlikely to be the same as theirs. Don't let them lead and slow you down. Remember your 200-meter run state. Run the first half of the race according to your daily 200-meter full-course training state. After you hear the first split timer beep, you can relax a little. After the second beep, go into full sprint state."
As for Qiu Wen, Su Bai did not explain what Qiu Wen needed to pay attention to by using words like "which 100-meter segment" or the like. Instead, he directly asked Qiu Wen to use the 200-meter run, for which he had done special training, and the two signal prompts as the key dividing points in the overall pace of the race.
After talking about the key dividing points, Su Bai used the same straightforward approach to ask Qiu Wen to pay attention to his step frequency and stride control, and to determine whether Qiu Wen had clearly understood the key points he needed to pay attention to.
Qiu Wen seemed a little excited at the moment. As a professional athlete, Qiu Wen certainly knew that speed and physical distribution were very important in the 400-meter event. He was originally worried that he would not be able to do a good job of allocating relevant physical energy, thus affecting his test results. However, Su Bai's explanation to him was very simple and concise, and for some reason, Qiu Wen always felt that Su Bai's explanation to him sounded particularly easy to understand and left a particularly deep impression on him.
So, when Su Bai asked him if he had remembered the key points he had mentioned, Qiu Wen nodded very solemnly, indicating that he had remembered Su Bai's instructions.
Su Bai took a serious look at Qiu Wen, and after confirming that he really remembered it and was not just pretending, he felt a little relieved, then turned to Zhao Heping and nodded.
"Master, it's OK."
Zhao Heping watched from the side for a long while, watching Su Bai instruct Qiu Wen step by step, and also watching Qiu Wen, under Su Bai's guidance, as if he had quickly absorbed Su Bai's instructions. Although he didn't know how effective the guidance was for the time being, Zhao Heping was already very satisfied with his apprentice.
Seeing that Su Bai indicated that the test could begin, Zhao Heping thought about it and arranged Qiu Wen and the other two players on tracks 6, 7, and 8 respectively. Qiu Wen was arranged on track 7. There was a 400-meter runner from the team at each of the starting curves.
This is what Zhao Heping wanted to see, whether Qiu Wen could do as he promised Su Bai and not be disturbed by the other two contestants.
The two 400m runners in the team both have results around 48 seconds, and are striving to reach the national master's standard of 47.60 seconds. Although the 400m results of these two runners are not ranked top in the country, in theory, they are definitely better than runners like Qiu Wen who have never conducted special 400m training.
Zhao Heping watched Su Bai and the assistant coach adjust the split timer and asked with a smile, "How many seconds did you set for the two split timers for Qiu Wen?"
When Su Bai heard his master's question, he recalled the numbers he had just set and replied with a smile: "22.5 and 34.5."
"Huh...?!" Zhao Heping was surprised when he heard the data. The data set by Su Bai, 22.5 seconds, was more than 1 second lower than Qiu Wen's 200-meter personal best. It was the regular data in Qiu Wen's daily full-course training. And 34.5 seconds meant that Su Bai asked Qiu Wen to relax for about 12 seconds after running 200 meters, which was about the time for 100 meters. In the remaining time, Qiu Wen had to enter a full sprint state.
Zhao Heping estimated the final results corresponding to these time allocations in his mind, and felt that Su Bai's action was a bit dangerous: "The final results required for this time and speed are too high. Qiu Wen, that silly boy, has never practiced 400 meters. This time, as long as he can run 50 seconds, I will agree to let him switch to another project and train him with all my strength."
Su Bai heard this and shook his head: "Master, I have looked at Qiu Wen's various training data, and he has hope of achieving it."
In fact, the night before, in the system's training space, he learned about Qiu Wen's potential in the 400-meter event, so he created a simulated athlete based on Qiu Wen's data in the training space and conducted a series of tests and evaluations on the simulated athlete.
The simulated athlete, which completely replicated Qiu Wen's current physical data and training status, gave amazing test results.
Su Bai was sure that if he could accurately instill the rhythm and overall speed distribution requirements of the 400 meters into Qiu Wen, then Qiu Wen's performance would definitely not be inferior to that of the simulated athletes in the system space.
Zhao Heping glanced at his apprentice and thought that Su Bai's answer was just the stubbornness of a young man. After thinking about it, he didn't say much to Su Bai. He just watched from the side. He thought that if Qiu Wen failed to run the whole course according to his apprentice's instructions, he would go back and give Su Bai some psychological guidance so that he would not be afraid of the job of coach because of the mistakes made in his first guidance.
On the other side, Qiu Wen was already standing at the starting point of the 400-meter track. To his front and back, the other two runners in the team had also taken their positions.
Under the instruction of the assistant coach, the two players of the team have been gearing up for the competition, and Qiu Wen is also nervous and excited at this moment - for no other reason than that this will determine his future career path.
However, in a state of tension and excitement, Qiu Wen still remembered the instructions Su Bai had just given him, including the state requirements for the 200-meter run, when to relax and reduce the pace, and when to accelerate with all his strength.
Qiu Wen's stubborn mind can be said to have focused all his attention and energy on remembering this information. For him, Su Bai can see his potential in the 400-meter event from his daily training data, so at this moment, Su Bai's 400-meter guidance to him must also be of great significance.
Listening to the coach, training hard, and having excellent endurance are originally some of Qiu Wen's strengths. At this time, his "coach" is Su Bai, so he just needs to be obedient!
With this belief in mind, Qiu Wen reviewed in his mind the key points that Su Bai had told him, then squatted down and began to adjust his starting blocks.
Zhao Heping's assistant coach temporarily served as the starter. After confirming with Zhao Heping that they could start, the athletes who were originally training on the surrounding tracks temporarily stopped their actions and squatted beside the track to watch this impromptu test race.
Qiu Wen was already squatting on the starting blocks, waiting for the starter to give the signal.
"Everyone, take your positions."
"preparation."
"Bang!"
The crisp sound of the starting gun rang out, and Qiu Wen's body center of gravity shifted slightly inward at the start of the curve. He pushed hard on the starting block with his right foot to help himself generate a strong propulsion forward!
Not only Qiu Wen, the two contestants on the other two tracks also started running after hearing the gun.
Starting on a curve and starting on a straight track are two completely different feelings. The acceleration distance of starting on a curve is not as good as that on a straight track. Moreover, when starting on a curve, athletes need to pay special attention to overcoming the centrifugal force of the curve and control the body to tilt inward to prevent themselves from falling off the track.
To achieve all of this, the players need extremely high body control and more professional training.
Fortunately, Qiu Wen had previously been a dual-event athlete in the 100m and 200m events, and he had already mastered the technique of starting on a curve.
At this time, Qiu Wen was on the track, trying his best to control his body. His body was slightly tilted toward the inside of the curve, and when he pushed back with both feet, he had already mastered the distinction between the inside and outside forces of his left and right feet.
As an athlete who competes in both 100m and 200m, even though the team currently believes that it will be difficult for him to make a major breakthrough in these two events and is going to remove him from the key training list, there is no doubt that his results in both 100m and 200m are still among the top in the team!
Even though Qiu Wen relaxed by 10% or 20% as Su Bai said, his speed was still not comparable to that of the other two 400-meter runners who were also restrained.
After passing the first bend and turning into the straight, Qiu Wen had already completed his acceleration and entered the mid-course run on the straight. Since Su Bai did not ask him to sprint at his best personal 200-meter speed, he appeared to be relatively stable and calm in his current state.
Even though he didn't quite understand why he didn't need to sprint at full speed at this stage, Qiu Wen still followed Su Bai's guidance and suggestions very well.
At this time on the track, Qiu Wen's pace was steady and calm. In the previous curve, he had gradually surpassed the No. 8 player in front of him. When entering the second 100-meter stage, Qiu Wen also began to accelerate and increase his speed according to his habit at 200 meters!
Beside the track, Zhao Heping, Su Bai and some other team members were also staring at Qiu Wen on the track. So far, Qiu Wen had been following Su Bai's instructions steadily, trying to take big strides in this test race.
Almost as Su Bai predicted, when Qiu Wen just finished the 200-meter segment, the segment timer set by Su Bai sounded.
On the track, after hearing this voice, Qiu Wen naturally relaxed a little, allowing himself a little breathing room during the entire 400-meter race.
Although he slowed down his speed slightly, Qiu Wen kept in mind all the things Su Bai had told him. He did not completely give up his physical power. Instead, he followed the counting method Su Bai had taught him and kept counting at a special frequency in his mind...
One, two, one…
One, two, one…
When the physical fatigue came over him, Qiu Wen's mind was still recalling the frequency rhythm that Su Zhe taught him. Even when he was relaxing to run for the final sprint, his speed was still maintained at a state that was absolutely not slack!
The sound of footsteps in Qiu Wen's mind coincided steadily with the frequency that Su Bai told him. His eyes were bright, and even though his body was getting more and more tired, he never gave up on sticking to this rhythm.
"this……!"
On the track, Qiu Wen's performance had already surprised Zhao Heping. He originally thought that Qiu Wen could not fully understand what Su Bai said to him, or even if Qiu Wen remembered everything Su Bai said, without the 400-meter turn training, Qiu Wen could not master the rhythm and state of the 400-meter run.
However, at this moment, looking at Qiu Wen on the track, his condition cannot be said to be relaxed, but he still steadily maintains the proper rhythm!
Behind Qiu Wen, two 400-meter runners were amazed at Qiu Wen's speed. However, because Qiu Wen was leading in the front, the two 400-meter runners behind him were unable to overtake Qiu Wen, and instead ended up following him.
When the segment timer on the track sounded for the second time, Qiu Wen, who was running in the front, seemed to have received the highest instructions. Even though anyone could see that he was already quite tired at this time, he still started to sprint all out in the last 100 meters!
Sweat dripped from his forehead, but his rushing pace and will were not hindered in any way.
One step, two steps, three steps...!
Although Qiu Wen's speed has declined, it still remains at a relatively high level!
"This average pace..." Zhao Heping silently estimated Qiu Wen's speed and his current progress distance in his mind, and then suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Good boy!"
Zhao Heping looked towards the final direction of the track with some excitement. There, Qiu Wen had already crossed the finish line after his final all-out sprint!
Crossed the line!
What about the results?
What will the score be? !
Zhao Heping immediately turned his gaze to the timer on the training ground. The electronic timer with black background and red letters displayed Qiu Wen's final result of the test match in simple fonts - 47.58 seconds.
Behind Qiu Wen, the 400-meter athletes from the two teams who crossed the finish line one after another widened their eyes after seeing the results displayed on the electronic timer. Then they immediately looked at the anemometer next to them. The current wind speed displayed on the anemometer was 1.1m/s, which did not exceed the wind speed.
For a moment, the original 400-meter athletes in the two teams seemed to have seen a fantasy, and they turned their eyes to Qiu Wen in shock.
Not only these two 400-meter athletes, but also the team's assistant coaches, some other players, and Zhao Heping, except Su Bai, everyone showed surprised expressions.
47.58 seconds, this result is already the standard for national master level in the domestic 400m event.
You know, Qiu Wen's personal PB in the 100m and 200m races, which he mainly trained for, was only close to the national master level. But this time, in the first test race of 400m, he directly ran out of the national master level standard? !
What kind of 400-meter talent is this? 】
Looking at the numbers on the crude electronic timer, almost everyone on the training ground asked this question in their hearts.
