Chapter 6 (Two in One)
The closing test match 40 days later is still a bit far away, but the opening test match is just around the corner.
"We had originally agreed that we would go and pick out any good candidates during the camp opening test, but Xiao Pei turned out to be so good that he already targeted someone on the first day of camp."
In the general office of the sprint coaching team, Wang Changan was still smiling and telling other coaches in the team that Pei Dingshan had spotted a good seedling.
"Wow, you've already targeted someone on the first day? Which good candidate is that? Is it that Zhou Yuang?"
After Wang Changan had whetted people's appetite, he refused to say anything and said with a smile, "Whether it is true or not, we will know after the opening test the day after tomorrow."
The coaches of the sprint group laughed immediately.
"Coach Wang, if you want us to pick out the best seedlings, just tell us directly."
"That's right, we have to wait until the day after tomorrow to check it out?"
Wang Changan also laughed for a while, then clapped his hands: "That's what I mean, and that's not what I mean - the player that Xiao Pei has chosen is a bit special. What I mean is that we should all go and take a look together, and when we come back, everyone should submit a report and explain why Xiao Pei chose him."
My goodness, this sudden task came upon them and the coaches in the office looked at each other in bewilderment.
"A special situation? How special is this?"
“Interesting.”
"Then let's go and pick some together then?"
In fact, since Pei Dingshan had taken a fancy to Su Yu, the coaches of the sprint group would know the answer by just taking a walk around the outdoor training ground dedicated to the summer camp. However, Wang Changan had whetted their appetite and assigned them a task. Many coaches were aroused to be competitive, and instead of inquiring, they waited for the camp opening test the day after tomorrow to see if they could also pick out that good seedling and see if Pei Dingshan was the only one with such an amazing vision.
***
Of course the students in the summer camp were unaware of the discussion among the coaching staff, as they were currently screaming and shouting in their morning training session.
It turns out that during the early training phase, these trainees thought that it was just warm-up and some basic movement training, which was no big deal. Some even thought, "Is this the daily routine of an athlete?" It doesn't seem difficult, I can do it too'.
As a result, when the morning training started, many people's faces turned green.
As we all know, sprints like 100m, 200m and 400m are actually anaerobic exercises. Athletes need to achieve kinetic work through high bursts in a short period of time. During this stage, the human body is in a hypoxic or anaerobic state.
The typical characteristics of anaerobic exercise are high intensity, heavy load, strong instantaneousness and high exercise frequency*, so athletes are very likely to feel physical fatigue and muscle soreness in this state.
At the same time, the negative feelings brought about by this anaerobic exercise are very difficult to eliminate and recover in a short period of time.
So when watching some 100-meter sprint events, some viewers may think, "Isn't it just a 100-meter run?" There is still one or two hours for you to rest between the semi-finals and the finals. Saying that the semi-finals consumed too much physical energy and led to poor condition in the finals is an excuse. In fact, when athletes devote their all to the game, it is really difficult to recover to a good condition with only half an hour of recovery time.
At this moment, the students present at the summer camp experienced what it meant to "never get enough rest, no matter how hard you try."
"Fuck, help, I'm so tired..."
"Help, Monkey, are your muscles sore? Why do I feel like my legs are not mine anymore?"
There is a large grass area outside the outdoor training ground with plastic floor. Hundreds of summer camp students are now training in groups on the grass. Pei Dingshan is still in charge of their training content, but there is one more person, Wang Pengfei, who is also an assistant coach of the provincial team.
"Brother Xiaofei is a very nice person. Although he is only an assistant coach, the head coach of the provincial team's sprint team, Wang Changan, is his uncle."
Zhou Yuang introduced this to Su Yu and Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan:? ? ?
"Aungzi, how do you know everything?"
"Ah? Really?" Zhou Yuang scratched his head and then showed his brilliant signature smile: "Hehe, that may be because I am prepared for any eventuality."
"Okay." Jiang Yuan glanced at Su Yu who was running and felt that he was in good condition, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked the question in his mind: "It's weird, isn't there a plastic track next to it? Why did Coach Pei and the others let us run on the grass?"
"Oh, this." Zhou Yuang explained: "The grass is softer and less likely to cause injuries than a plastic track. Although we said we are here to experience the professional training of the provincial team, most of the students have not received much training. You can't really train us like professional athletes, right?"
"Besides, we haven't even conducted the camp opening test yet, and each student's summer camp major has not been classified yet. There is no need to be so professional, it will only hurt your health."
Jiang Yuan nodded as he listened: "You are well prepared."
"Hey, that's right."
Just as Zhou Yuang said, the shuttle run training in the morning was actually a super weakened version. Its main purpose was to activate the students' physical condition. It was just a simple general physical training. However, when multiple sets of 100-meter shuttle runs were connected together, the accumulated body soreness made the students groan.
Compared with the early training stage, Su Yu now seemed to have gradually mastered the limits of his physical condition. Although Jiang Yuan next to him could see that his little ancestor was not in very good condition, compared with the look in the morning when he was about to faint while running, he was in much better shape now.
Between the cones representing 100-meter intervals placed on the grass, Su Yu was running at 70% of his maximum speed according to Pei Dingshan's instructions before the training began.
——Relax your body.
This is the requirement that Pei Dingshan gives to all students.
But whether running at 70% of one's maximum speed or relaxing the body, it is a requirement that gives the students present a headache.
What speed is considered 70% of its maximum speed?
We all have to run hard, so how do we know if we are relaxing?
"This is too difficult, help me, I feel like all my muscles are crying out!"
The trainees of the summer camp were struggling to move back and forth on the grass, and almost no one could maintain a steady speed from beginning to end as Pei Dingshan required.
When Wang Pengfei reminded the children who were doing running training to pay attention to their speed, the children who were training all cried out: "Coach, we don't know what 70% of the maximum speed is!"
Wang Pengfei was speechless and complained: "Even if you don't know what 70% of your maximum speed is, you can't run slower and slower each time, right? You almost walked this section just now!"
One of the kids wanted to argue, "How can anyone really run at a constant speed for so many times?", when he saw a figure running past him. It was Su Yu.
This kid had just started the test in the same group as Su Yu, and he also had an impression of Su Yu. He remembered that when he just started running, Su Yu next to him was running very slowly. He had already finished the first 100 meters, but Su Yu was only halfway through, and his face did not look very good.
At that time, he was still wondering what was going on. How could he come to participate in the summer camp of the sports team if he ran so slowly? But now he had already run four or five 100-meter round trips. He was completely out of strength at the end. He felt his thighs were trembling and he would fall to the ground in the next second. But the weakling next to him was still running steadily at the same speed as at the beginning? !
In fact, Su Yu's condition was certainly not as relaxed as others saw. His face was pale, and beads of sweat were coming out of his forehead. His body and muscles were clamoring to go on strike.
Compared with other students participating in the summer camp, his physical condition is undoubtedly the worst. The lack of exercise for too long has left his body in a very weak state. Just running a few steps will make him breathless and muscle sore. It is like in the early training stage, he initially ran uncontrollably at the pace he was used to before his rebirth, which directly led to his near collapse during the warm-up run stage.
But it was also the warm-up runs during the early training phase that allowed him to grasp the approximate range of his maximum speed.
He didn't know what the 70% speed range was, but he tried his best to complete the entire training process within the speed range he estimated.
Even though his body was protesting against him, he still insisted on keeping the same speed.
The children around were simply shocked by Su Yu - no way? Is there really someone who can run at the same speed from beginning to end?
Jiang Yuan, who had been observing Su Yu from the side, felt a little distressed when he saw the child whose face was pale but who was trying hard to hold on.
"Hey, Angzi, what do you think Xiaoyu is thinking? Why did he suddenly want to develop into a professional? How tiring is it to be a professional athlete? We are only in summer camp training now. Coach Pei will take you to do more training after the training..."
"I'm really worried that Xiaoyu's body won't be able to handle it."
Zhou Yuang didn't think so. He glanced at Su Yu who was running in the sun, grinned at Jiang Yuan and said, "Hey, look how beautifully our little ancestor runs!"
He raised his hand and patted Jiang Yuan on the shoulder: "I tell you, this is the healthy breath of the sun. Our little ancestor is not afraid of hardship or fatigue. You, as a brother, can't hold your little child bride back. Can't he feel his body? If he really can't bear it, he won't be able to run so steadily."
Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly, but looking at Su Yu running on the grass, he vaguely knew that Zhou Yuang was right. Whether Xiaoyu wanted to change the current physical condition or really wanted to develop in a professional direction, if he stopped her, he would harm Xiaoyu instead.
Jiang Yuan didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Su Yu completed the reduction training assigned to him by Pei Dingshan.
Not far away, Pei Dingshan used a stopwatch to record all of Su Yu's five shuttle runs, then nodded to Su Yu who had completed the training and said, "Well done."
Su Yu responded with a sullen "hmm", then took a few steps along the edge of the grass to relax his body.
Jiang Yuan quickly came up to him and asked him how he was doing.
Su Yu frowned: "Not bad."
Jiang Yuan sighed and said, "Ancestor, please take a look at your own face first before you speak."
"Hurry up, there's a foam roller nearby, and the coach just taught you how to relax your muscles. If you don't relax quickly, you'll be in trouble tomorrow."
For someone like Su Yu who seldom exercises on weekdays, even though Pei Dingshan's entire summer camp training program was designed according to the physical standards of junior high school students and the amount of training was reduced for Su Yu, the final amount of training was definitely enough to make Su Yu exhausted.
Su Yu finally did not force Jiang Yuan to come, but followed Jiang Yuan obediently to the position specially for students to relax and stretch, and prepared to relax his body muscles.
On the other side, Wang Pengfei was marveling at Su Yu's test data.
"Brother Pei, your vision is amazing!"
"After five 100-meter shuttle runs, excluding the effects of wind speed and hand timing errors, the speed was stabilized at around 24 seconds, with a plus or minus error of no more than 1 second... Is this the speed control ability of a 14-year-old novice who has not received any training?!"
Just now, Wang Pengfei saw that Su Yu's training had finished. Out of curiosity, he immediately went to Pei Dingshan to look at the data, and then he was shocked by the series of data recorded by Pei Dingshan.
This level of stability is not only for the kids who come to the summer camp, but even among the kids in their provincial youth team there are few who can achieve such stability.
“It’s just that this result is still a little bit lacking.”
Wang Pengfei muttered.
If the round-trip speed in running training is stabilized at 24 seconds, and assuming that Su Yu's own control is correct, then his maximum speed is about 17 seconds for 100 meters.
"Su Yu is a first-year student, right? What is the standard score for a first-year student in the 100-meter race? I remember the full score for a first-year student in the 100-meter race is 15.5 seconds, right?"
At this point, Wang Pengfei hesitated: "With a score of 17 seconds, can Su Yu pass the physical education test?"
Pei Dingshan glanced at him and said, "He is exempt from the exam."
Wang Pengfei: “…”
Oh, yes, Su Yu was exempted from the physical education test due to health reasons.
Thinking of this, Wang Pengfei's mask of pain appeared again - if he told others what he said today, no one would believe it. Other kids who wanted to join the provincial team had to pass the exams, but a kid who was exempted from the junior high school physical education exam was about to join their provincial team.
If it weren't for his brother Pei's explanation and the fact that he had just seen Su Yu run this set of results with his own eyes, he would have almost suspected that there was some shady deal going on.
On the other side, with the help of Jiang Yuan and Zhou Yuang, Su Yu finally completed the muscle relaxation exercises. After a short rest, his complexion changed from pale to slightly red after exercise.
Next, after completing general physical training, Pei Dingshan and Wang Pengfei gathered the students together again and explained to everyone some common training contents for track and field events, such as ankle joint training to enhance muscle elasticity, which is the basic training required for sprinting, hurdles, long jump and high jump.
It was not until 10:30 in the morning that the students in the summer camp were allowed to relax freely, and it was during this period that Su Yu and Zhou Yuang were brought to Pei Dingshan for special lessons.
Some students noticed that Su Yu and Zhou Yuang were giving them special lessons and they were a little curious.
"Why is the Great Demon King giving them extra training?"
After demonstrating his super memory during the morning training, Pei Dingshan has earned the title of "Big Devil" among the summer camp students.
"Who knows, but look, the tall one is Zhou Yuang. You've heard of this name, right? He was the champion of the men's 100m and 200m in the provincial middle school sports meeting. I heard that he came to the summer camp this time just to join the provincial team. I guess he performed well and was noticed by the big devil."
"Oh...he is Zhou Yuang?"
The student next to him had obviously heard of Zhou Yuang's name. He nodded and then asked curiously, "But what about the short one? I remember him. He was the last one in the morning training and felt like he was half dead after running three laps. How did he get caught up with the big devil?"
"Well, you already said that you were taken along by the big devil. I guess he thought he was too weak, so he couldn't stand it and took you along to train together, right?"
"Oh, then you do have a point."
The students around saw that Zhou Yuang and Su Yu were being trained individually by Pei Dingshan. Most of them were curious for a while and then dispersed. After all, for these summer camp students who came purely to broaden their horizons, being trained by the coach was not a very pleasant thing.
***
On the training ground, Pei Dingshan did not have the hobby of letting his people bask in the sun in the scorching heat. Seeing that the sun was getting higher and higher, Pei Dingshan took Su Yu and Zhou Yuang to an old tree next to the training ground. When they were under the shade of the tree, he handed them the data of their morning running training.
In Pei Dingshan's training records, the data of Zhou Yuang and Su Yu are very different, and the difference in their characteristics is also very obvious.
Zhou Yuang's performance was good. In total, he ran 7 times, and his performance was maintained between 15 and 19 seconds. If this result is calculated as 70% of his maximum speed, it means that his maximum speed is approximately between 10.50 and 13.3 seconds.
Of course, the result of 10.50 seconds is obviously beyond Zhou Yuang's reach at this stage.
This means that his seven round trips were not able to control his maximum speed within the range specified by Pei Dingshan.
Pei Dingshan threw the training booklet to Su Yu and Zhou Yuang, but with his memory, he naturally knew the data of the two people.
"Zhou Yuang, your current 100m PB (personal best) is 11.33 seconds. Based on your limit data, your shuttle run should be controlled between 16 and 17 seconds. It is recommended that the error should not exceed 1 second."
Zhou Yuang nodded immediately: "Okay coach, I'm sorry I didn't do it well!"
Pei Dingshan did not pursue these questions. He said calmly, "It's not entirely your fault. You have never done relevant training in the past. You have achieved your PB of 11.33 seconds for the 100 meters under the training of the school track and field team. You have great talent."
After being praised, Zhou Yuang became even happier. If he had a tail at this moment, he would probably shake it at Su Yu and Pei Dingshan on the spot.
"Okay coach, I will definitely train hard from now on!"
Pei Dingshan hummed lightly, then turned his gaze to Su Yu: "Tell me what your problem is."
Zhou Yuang was stunned for a moment, thinking that the question was a bit strange.
Xiaoyu has never received any relevant training, so how should he answer?
When Su Yu heard the question, he was looking at his speed in the training booklet in his hand.
When he ran before, he could only try his best to control his speed within the roughly estimated speed in his mind, but he was not sure what his final running result would be.
The values recorded in the training booklet now told him the final data, but the data of around 24 seconds was not very good.
He pursed his lips and said, "I'm too slow."
Although his expression seemed no different from before, one could tell from his voice that he was faintly disappointed in himself.
Pei Dingshan glanced at him silently, and did not continue to ask Su Yu any more questions. Instead, he took the training book back into his hand, paused, and said, "Yes, and no."
After taking back the recording board and training booklet, Pei Dingshan pointed to the two data in his hands.
"Zhou Yuang, your problem is obvious. Your performance is good, but your stability is poor. Your ability to control your own speed is even worse than Su Yu, who has not received any training."
"Your performance of 11.33 seconds is more dependent on your own talent. During the entire process of running 100 meters, your natural rapid power, submaximal power and strength endurance provide you with energy throughout the running process, but you cannot use this power well."
"Your past training should only be to develop your ability to react and start quickly. As for the application of skills during the entire running process..."
When Pei Dingshan said this, his brows slightly twisted: "It's a mess."
Zhou Yuang: _(:з」∠)_
Wait, coach, I remember you didn’t have this attitude when you treated our little ancestor just now?
Is it because I look more durable that I don't need any care and protection?
While listening to Pei Dingshan's explanation, Zhou Yuang's thoughts wandered in his mind for a moment but he quickly brought them back. He understood that Pei Dingshan was right. He used to be educated by a physical education teacher in elementary school. It was simply because the school teacher saw that he had good talent that he gave him some guidance. Although the elementary school teacher also graduated from a sports school, his own level was limited and it was difficult for him to teach him any effective training methods.
But the good thing about his enlightenment teacher is that he knows that he is young and still in the developmental stage, so although he doesn't know how to teach, he also won't teach randomly or force some high-intensity training on him for fear of damaging his body.
Later, when he was in junior high school, the teacher of the school track and field team took a fancy to him and the training was much more standardized than that in elementary school, but after his results quickly improved to 11.33 seconds, they became stuck.
And just as Coach Pei said, 11.33 seconds was just his extraordinary performance in the provincial middle school games finals. In fact, he could not replicate this result in training.
But his school track and field team teacher also told him - you can achieve such results even though you are an amateur, you have great talent, you must find a good coach to guide you.
This made him determined to come to the summer camp to find an opportunity to become Pei Dingshan's disciple.
Pei Dingshan was not polite to him: "Your basics are not good enough. After the opening test the day after tomorrow, you will start practicing from the basics again."
If you say this to an ordinary child, perhaps that child will rebel - I have already run a time of 11.33 seconds, and I have a chance to be in the top three in the national competition, why do you ask me to start from the basics?
But Zhou Yuang didn't mind. He knew his own business and he was clear that Pei Dingshan was right. He just had a poor foundation and had never received any systematic basic training. He only relied on his elementary school teacher and the coach of his junior high school track and field team. In addition, his parents saw that he liked sprinting and found a lot of papers for reference on the Internet for him.
It would be strange if you have a good foundation if you don't do this all at once.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuang was not angry at all, he was even a little excited. He knew that this was the next step for him to truly step into the world of sprinting!
After speaking to Zhou Yuang, Pei Dingshan glanced at Su Yu, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "The control ability is good, and the perception of speed is also very good."
"My physical condition is too poor and I have absolutely no foundation."
Having said that, Pei Dingshan paused and did not continue, but instead swept his eyes over the two people in front of him.
"In short, both of you need to start from the basics. Zhou Yuang, basic training and control improvement training, Su Yu, body adjustment training and basic training. Any questions?"
Zhou Yuang immediately showed his big white teeth and said, "Coach, no problem!"
Pei Dingshan turned his gaze to Su Yu again: "What about you?"
Su Yu pursed his lips and shook his head: "No problem."
He knew that his current physical condition was not good, but after his health improved, his sprinting talent gradually emerged. He also briefly received guidance from the school team coach in the university team, but it was obvious that the guidance he had received was "without foundation" for Pei Dingshan.
He understood that this was not Pei Dingshan's problem, but that his own mentality had not yet changed.
As for Pei Dingshan's praise of his "good control ability and good perception of speed", it was only because of his brief training in the university team that he was able to achieve such performance.
Compared with Zhou Yuang, Zhou Yuang has excellent talents, but even his physical conditions are extremely poor.
If Pei Dingshan had not had a control group project to work on, he would have had no chance to work under Pei Dingshan.
But he didn't intend to give up.
Before his rebirth, he had already given up an opportunity, and now a new opportunity finally appeared before him - he wanted to see how far he could go if he gritted his teeth.
***
Pei Dingshan did not let Zhou Yuang and Su Yu go until he had sorted out their next training goals.
Today is only the first day of the summer camp, and he has just found Su Yu, a talented person. Although he has temporarily seen some problems, it is impossible for him to come up with a complete set of targeted training plans so quickly.
The formal training for Su Yu and Zhou Yuang will not officially begin until after the opening test of the camp.
Looking at the direction where Su Yu and Zhou Yuang left, Wang Pengfei, who had been watching not far away, came over again and said, "Brother Pei, this kid you like is not easy to deal with."
"Why do I feel like he's seriously lacking in self-confidence?"
Pei Dingshan tapped the training booklet in his hand with his fingers and said, "His talent is hidden deep inside. He has been in poor physical condition since childhood and has a very sensitive personality. It is normal for him to have doubts and uneasiness when he suddenly joins this kind of formal sports training."
Wang Pengfei shook his head: "Ah, it's very difficult. Brother Pei, do you really think that this kid's talent is worth your efforts to train him?"
Pei Dingshan looked at Su Yu's back from afar, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Of course it's worth it. I'm really looking forward to the day when he sheds his stone skin and reveals his true colors."
Seeing Pei Dingshan's persistence, Wang Pengfei couldn't help but feel curious: "Well, after hearing what you said, I really want to see what this kid will become in the future."
Just as Pei Dingshan and Wang Pengfei were walking back to the coaching office while chatting, they saw that the coaching office was bustling with activity, as if they were discussing some new topic.
"Hey, Uncle, what's wrong? What are you talking about?"
Wang Pengfei's gossip radar was activated, and he immediately went to his second uncle Wang Changan.
Wang Changan glared at him unhappily: "I told you to call me Coach Wang when you are on the team!"
Wang Pengfei smiled and stood still to salute: "Okay, second uncle, I obey your command!"
There was a burst of laughter in the office. After everyone finished laughing, they said, "The notice for the National U16 Track and Field Base Competition has just come down. This year's competition will be held in our S Province team."
"The only problem is that it might clash with the summer camp's final competition. We are just discussing how to deal with this situation."
After Wang Changan finished speaking, Wang Pengfei said without thinking: "Hey, what's so difficult about this?"
Wang Changan glared at him: "Then tell me what to do?"
Wang Pengfei smiled and said, "Let's do it together!"
"Isn't our summer camp supposed to let students experience the life of a professional athlete? Before the base competition, we can hold a 'base competition qualifier' and let the best students in the summer camp participate in the base competition and truly experience the life of an athlete. Isn't that the end of it?"
Wang Changan listened to this and subconsciously wanted to scold "nonsense", but after he finished speaking, the coaches in the office looked at each other - hey, it seems that this can be done?
The author has something to say:
