"Xiao Lu, you ran really well just now! You broke the national record in your first domestic competition. You're really strong!" Liu Feiren said, giving Lu Wei a thumbs up.

"Everyone was focused on you just now. Nobody knew why you suddenly seemed unhappy when you won the championship. I think life is so short, and you should find your own happiness in everything you do. Believe in yourself, you can do it!"

It was only then that Lu Wei and his team realized that Liu Feiren's words and actions in real life were just like those of an athlete, showing optimism and confidence everywhere. It turned out that he was not putting on a show in front of the audience.

"I'm afraid I could never do what you do, bringing joy wherever you go." Inspired by Liu Feiren, Lu Wei felt the flame in his heart, which had almost been extinguished, reignited.

"Let me also talk about my understanding of dreams. When Coach Sun discovered me, I was just an unknown young player. My brilliance was not as dazzling as yours. I was just an ordinary player."

Lu Wei chuckled upon hearing Liu Feiren's words, thinking to himself, "If I hadn't accidentally transmigrated here, this kid probably wouldn't even have made it into the provincial competitions, let alone become a national champion..."

"I believe that in any competition, no matter how strong the opponent is, you should not give up until you cross the finish line. Now that I am a public figure, I should show my best side to everyone. My dream is to help those who like me become people with dreams."

He spoke a lot of big words, but coming from Liu Feiren's mouth, the other three people didn't feel uncomfortable at all; this was typical Liu-style language.

"Little Lu, I have high hopes for you. When you stand on the podium, you'll surely remember that afternoon you walked to the training ground with Liu Jing. It was just an ordinary afternoon, but it witnessed a young, inexperienced boy stepping onto the stage of Chinese history. Take off, Lu Wei!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Feiren had a serious face when he said the first two sentences, but this last sentence suddenly came out and made the other three laugh.

Lu Wei had to admit that Liu Feiren's appearance filled him with a strong desire for improvement.

"I must grow stronger. I was a warrior in my past life, and I must not be mediocre in this one!" Lu Wei silently encouraged himself.

In the last part of the morning, Liu Fei dominated the straightaways, while Lu Wei honed his cornering skills on the curves.

The other athletes training nearby did not complain at all about the situation; on the contrary, everyone was paying attention to the two's every move.

Liu Xiang, a world champion, shattered the myth that people of Asian descent cannot reach the top of the world in the 110-meter hurdles. Watching him train is a true pleasure; many people put aside their own training to attentively observe Liu Xiang's brilliance on the track.

As training continued, everyone gradually realized that the young man who kept practicing cornering on the curves was no good either.

"That big guy looks pretty good too. Have you noticed how he's improving every time he runs on the curves? Zhang Pei might have a rival in the 200-meter race!"

"You didn't watch the 400-meter final, did you? He just won the championship and broke the national record that had stood for six years."

"No rest after the game, and you're already training! Young people are full of energy!..." The two of them were talking as they prepared to drive off.

At this moment, Lu Wei had entered a state of complete absorption. After this period of training, his cornering ability had improved significantly compared to the Ningcheng Track and Field Championships.

To improve Lu Wei's overall strength, Wang Qiao's training for the past two months has focused primarily on overall rhythm and starting technique. The further out he is from the starting line, the stronger Lu Wei's acceleration becomes. However, this also means that he has to run a much wider arc on the second corner, making the corner longer and highlighting his weaknesses.

Starting on the inside lane, the first corner is too long and the second corner is too sharp, so you have to keep pushing to maintain speed, which will affect your speed in the later stages of the race.

Fortunately, Lu Wei's physical advantages were evident in domestic competitions, allowing him to consistently secure the best lanes and fully utilize his strengths. However, in international competitions, many of his rivals are capable of running under 45 seconds, requiring him to exert his full effort in every race to secure a good lane. In international races with three or even four races, this running style makes it difficult to maintain sufficient stamina.

Wang Qiao's assessment of the situation was very accurate. In the following training sessions, he had already planned to strengthen Lu Wei's cornering ability. To his relief, Lu Wei also recognized his shortcomings and actively wanted to improve his weaknesses.

During training, both of them gave it their all, wanting to seize every opportunity to improve their skills.

After each of Lu Wei's runs around the bends, Wang Qiao would give him pointers on stride length and arm swing based on what he had just done. Eventually, Wang Qiao simply started loudly reminding Lu Wei of the key points of his movements while he was running.

After running 15 sets of curves, both of them were drenched in sweat.

"Take a break. Your progress today has exceeded my expectations. Track and field training requires accumulation over time and steady progress. You can't get fat in one bite."

After the two stopped, they discovered that Liu Jingren was still training. Normally, excessive training is a major taboo in large-scale competitions, but in domestic competitions, Liu Jingren's strength is unparalleled. As long as he successfully completes the race, barring any unforeseen circumstances, first place is practically guaranteed.

Wang Qiao was surprised to find that Liu Feiren's starting stride had been changed from 8 steps to 7 steps to reach the first hurdle. This move is very difficult even for black athletes, let alone Asian athletes.

"Already a world-class athlete, he continues to refine his skills; it's truly awe-inspiring!" Lu Wei didn't feel much of a stir; in his previous life, he could have run five steps to the first hurdle. But considering the physical capabilities of the Chinese people, such improvement was still remarkable.

Such progress is undoubtedly inseparable from Liu Feiren's hard training.

After completing the segmented technical training, Liu Feiren then ran three full-distance races.

Coach Sun used a camera to record Liu's condition throughout the training process. After each run, he would call Liu to his side and provide guidance based on the video footage.

Wang Qiao was speechless as he watched the three sets of runners run the entire course: "These three sets didn't run at full speed, and each time they managed to run around 13.3 seconds. Amazing!" At this moment, Wang Qiao also took out his stopwatch and started timing Liu Feiren.

World champions aren't made with slingshots. This time, Lu Wei gained a concrete and profound understanding of the daily training of top athletes.

He gets better grades than others and trains harder than others. If he doesn't win the championship, who will?
