"Well, it's good that you're confident. I reckon if you train for this event, as long as you can handle the start well, you should have no problem getting a good result. But I'm really worried that you'll grow taller, which would be a disadvantage. After all, the 100-meter race is too short; top athletes finish in under 10 seconds. In that time, the athletes with the tallest height, the strongest legs, the most powerful upper body muscles, and the best core strength will definitely have the most advantage."

Taking advantage of the ample time today, Wang Qiao decided to have a good chat with Lu Wei.

"In the decade or so from the end of the last century to the beginning of this century, athletes with a stocky build and a speed like a small cannon almost swept the majority of world championships. For example, Maurice Green of the United States, who is 1.76 meters tall, has great explosive power and a fast stride frequency. He easily won the 100-meter championship at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. He was the first person to break the 9.8-second barrier in the 100-meter record."

Subsequently, the American team members were almost all cut from the same cloth. It was not easy to find someone over 1.8 meters tall in sprinting. After Montgomery snatched Jones from the fat guy who set the world record in shot put, he suddenly became awesome and had a glorious few years.

It wasn't until Gatlin won the Olympic gold medal in 2004 that tall athletes began to gain popularity. As long as the starting and acceleration issues were handled well, the advantages of tall athletes—long strides and strong ability to maintain top speed during the final sprint—became apparent. They didn't need to desperately maintain their stride frequency, so it was easier for them to maintain speed. Everyone could see that.

Look at Powell, his other physical abilities are very strong. Putting aside his physical attributes, what a great player he is. His starting ability is outstanding, and his finishing speed is also good. What a pity! If I had his great physique, I might be a world champion by now. What a waste!

As Wang Qiao spoke, he also became excited. Except for one thing, all men admire speed and yearn for the feeling of running at high speed and galloping freely.

We originally thought that Lu Wei's 100-meter sprint training was only for him to represent the national team in relay races in the future, so for a short period of time we focused on having Lu Wei practice his ability to reach top speed and maintain that top speed for as long as possible.

In fact, Lu Wei's muscle endurance is improved through short and powerful exercises such as resistance running, high knees, and squats, which helps him maintain his fastest speed during the race.

The second specific training exercise is for coordination. There are not many distractions during sprint training. When you run at your most comfortable pace and give it your all, your performance will generally not be too bad.

If you have a bad start, or if you're overtaken after taking the lead, maintaining body stability becomes crucial. Only by maintaining stable body balance can you maintain your current speed, and even create a brief second acceleration when your speed decreases.

The first hour today focused on explosive power training. Lu Wei discovered that resistance running is an excellent training method regardless of the type of exercise. This exercise can be directly used to train explosive power, speed endurance, and coordination.

Then there's box vaulting training. This exercise has been widely used by Wang Qiao since he was an athlete as a training subject to enhance explosive power. Several boxes are combined, and there are many ways to train. It can also improve coordination at the same time.

The difference is that the training equipment used is steps and ping-pong tables. This kind of training is brute force, and team members with different body types are trained according to the same standard.

There is now specialized training equipment that can be adjusted to the appropriate height according to everyone's physical condition. For example, Lu Wei needs at least two boxes to train with a 0.5-meter vaulting box, and training with three boxes is not too difficult.

This training program is quite impressive. It's not just for the track and field team; even if you included the volleyball team, it wouldn't be easy to continuously jump over a box that's over 1.5 meters high.

Over the next week, Wang Qiao used every possible training method to train Lu Wei, employing every training technique imaginable and using every available piece of equipment without reservation.

Lu Wei trained very hard during this period, but he never complained of being tired. Once the flame of revenge took hold in his heart, it was not just the alarm clock that woke him up every day.

Lu Wei now wishes he could buy a dartboard, put Guy's face on it, and play a few rounds every day.

During this time, Wang Qiao also paid close attention to Lu Wei's health. Every night when Lu Wei was having physiotherapy, Wang Qiao would go with him to ask Qin Heng about Lu Wei's condition.

Qin Heng always gave him the same result, which made Wang Qiao a little doubtful of the guy's abilities, thinking he was just a quack doctor.

Apart from Lu Wei, the others began to experience accumulated fatigue.

Under Qin Heng's repeated orders, Liu Xiang reduced his training volume. Originally, Coach Sun and Liu Xiang wanted to continue and see how it went, but the top leader Feng Yong personally intervened and stopped their high-intensity training.

Besides Liu Feiren, several other team members were also required to drastically reduce their training volume due to excessive fatigue. The team members have only adapted to the high-altitude environment, but that does not mean that the high altitude no longer exists.

The purpose of winter training before the Olympics is to improve the athletes' cardiopulmonary oxygen supply and recovery capabilities. Although many athletes are forced to reduce their training volume, the positive effect of high altitude on physical fitness in previous years still gives everyone confidence.

Even if there is a buildup of fatigue, it's because everyone is preparing for the Olympics and the training volume has increased.

On the morning of January 20th, Lu Wei finally completed his nearly three-week sprint training plan. Lu Wei felt good and his explosive power had increased significantly. Previously, his only track and field event was the 400-meter race, and even in the 4x100-meter relay, he didn't need to rely too much on explosive power. He was already at his maximum speed when he received the baton.

Explosive power has not been systematically trained. Although Lu Wei's explosive power was good before, it has improved a lot after specialized training.

"Coach Wang, tell me if you can beat that bitch Guy if you start running now!"

After finishing the morning training, Lu Wei sat by the track and asked Wang Qiao, "Whenever Guy is mentioned, Lu Wei's eyes light up, and he seems to have inexhaustible energy."

Wang Qiao smiled wryly when he saw Lu Wei's expression. Lu Wei's grudge-holding ability was probably unmatched by anyone, and it would not diminish with the passage of time.

"That guy was able to win the World Championships 9m gold medal because of his explosive power. I heard he ran under 9 seconds in the track and field trials, so he's probably even better than you. You're still far behind. Besides, there are still more than six months until the Olympics. You have plenty of time to hone your skills!"

My reaction time is currently consistently within 0.15 seconds, but there's still room for improvement.

Explosive power needs to be developed in high-intensity combat. Without real combat, it's all meaningless. Isn't it time to find yourself an opponent?
