Chapter 79: Morning Jogging

In the early morning, the light golden sunlight falls lightly and gently, and the mottled shadows of the palm trees fall on the ground, blooming into the shape of petals.

The breeze blowing in your face carries a slight fishy smell of the ocean, fresh and slightly cool. It blows across the surface of your skin, stimulating a thin layer of goose bumps, but it is not cold; on the contrary, it makes people unable to help but close their eyes and immerse themselves in it, as if they can "see" the color and shape of the breeze.

Then, my thoughts wander in the boundless blue and fly freely.

"Hey, good morning, Gawain!"

Someone came towards him and greeted Gawain who was jogging to warm up. This surprised Gawain a little. His first reaction was that he was a friend, but when he looked in the direction of the voice, he saw a completely unfamiliar face.

Gao Wen didn't understand.

But out of politeness, Gawain still waved and said hello, without slowing down his jogging pace, and continued forward.

I didn't run very far before passing the library closest to the campus gate, where I saw a student holding a thick stack of books, waving his right fist excitedly and shouting loudly.

"Go, Gawain, go!"

Gao Wen: ??? His head was full of question marks. He really didn’t know the other person.

As a result, the student was so excited that the books in his arms fell to the ground. Gao Wen quickly slowed down his pace, quickly picked up the scattered books, put them in the student's arms, and hesitated for a moment.

"Are you sure you don't need help?"

The other party shook his head. "Don't worry about me. You should start training quickly. We must not show any mercy when facing the Trojans."

After defeating the Oklahoma Sooners, UCLA will next face its city rival, the USC Trojans.

Facing a tough battle against the favorite to win the championship for the second consecutive week - if the trajectory of the previous life had been followed, the Bruins would have lost to the Trojans and suffered two consecutive losses this season.

Gawain glanced at the other person, because this was the first time a stranger recognized his face, so he didn't know how to respond.

The student instead laughed happily, "Keep going, keep doing what you are doing, I will always cheer for you!"

Gao Wen lost his usual eloquent self. He nodded in confusion and continued to jog forward. After running for a short distance, he finally realized why he was so restrained, as if he had never seen the world.

But if he thought about it carefully, Gawain had no way of denying it, because he really had not experienced anything.

"Go, Brown Bear! Go!"

I heard the student's loud shout from behind, which seemed a bit abrupt at the library entrance. Then I could see some heads popping out of the library windows one after another. They were obviously students who were studying hard and were protesting against the noise outside.

Gao Wen was slightly stunned, and a bold idea popped up in his mind, and he also shouted.

"Go, Brown Bear! Go!"

It exploded like thunder out of nowhere, and then a burst of uneven cheers came from the library, high and low, gathering together.

"Go! Brown bear! Go!"

But the next second, you can hear other students who are concentrating on studying complaining - why are they going crazy so early in the morning?

Gao Wen had indeed anticipated this. After detonating the landmine, he immediately quickened his pace and disappeared in a flash, jogging around the campus towards the training ground.

After gradually becoming familiar with the training system, Gao Wen has now developed his own training habits. Because the NCAA stipulates the team's training time, Gao Wen needs to be more conscious and positive. Only in this way can he give full play to the role of the system.

After getting up every morning, jog three to five kilometers and do a simple warm-up to prepare for subsequent daily training.

But jogging is not just jogging. In the middle or end of the run, Gao Wen will change the speed of the run.

As the name suggests, in the range of 200 to 400 meters, the speed suddenly increases, then returns to a constant speed, then suddenly increases again, and then returns to a constant speed.

Generally speaking, it is usually to run at full speed for 100 meters, then slow down and run at a constant speed for 200 meters; then increase the speed to the extreme and sprint for 100 meters, and then return to normal speed and run 200 meters. And so on. The length and speed may change according to the daily state.

In a marathon, everyone knows that it is very important to maintain a constant speed, because suddenly speeding up will break the rhythm and bring greater physical exertion.

However, in tennis matches, players are often required to continuously accelerate and change speed during a point, enter an anaerobic state, and maintain the explosiveness and stability of their shots. More importantly, after a point, they must be able to adjust their breathing as quickly as possible and prepare for the next point. Otherwise, the cost of winning this point may be losing the next few points, which is not cost-effective.

It is for this reason that Gao Wen disrupts his running rhythm by warming up with jogging, continuously exercising his cardiopulmonary function to ensure that he can adapt to the impact and burning brought by high-intensity variable-speed running.

Gradually, jogging every morning became a new training program; later, Gawain and MacDonald would no longer jog together in the morning, but would meet at the training ground after completing their jogging warm-up according to their respective habits.

Today is another ordinary day.

But what was a little strange was that quite a few people greeted Gawain along the way.

There weren't many people who directly called out "Gawain" by name, only about three or five; most of them used expressions and actions such as eye contact, smiles, and waving to express their morning greetings. The number of people there has already reached double digits. It always felt like you could meet one if you walked a certain distance; he was everywhere.

Normally, Gawain would jog every morning. Occasionally, he would nod to greet him politely, but this was abnormal because it happened so often. However, they did not take the initiative to say hello, so Gawain could not tell accurately whether they were just being polite or they really knew him.

This feeling was vaguely strange, but at the same time I could feel their kindness. Besides the strange feeling, my mood also brightened a little.

It’s hard to describe exactly what’s going on.

huff.

huff.

The outline of the training ground was visible in his field of vision, so Gao Wen temporarily put aside all distractions and burst out at full speed, trying to see how fast he could reach after jogging and running at variable speeds, just like sprinting at full speed in a 100-meter race.

Tap tap tap.

Tap tap tap.

The wind was whistling in my ears and the whole world was rapidly moving backwards. It was as if at a certain moment I could really feel the burning heat and release deep in my soul. Then I rushed directly into a ball of light and shadow and arrived at the training ground. My footsteps finally stopped and I walked back and forth under the shade of the trees in front of the training ground, slowly adjusting my breathing.

"Hey, Gawain."

McDonald's figure appeared in the field of vision, with a bright smile on his bronze cheeks. He arrived at the training ground one step ahead of time, but McDonald seemed particularly excited today.
