Orc Undead Sports Warrior

"You're right. I'll rest for a bit and then do 10 sets of jogging." After calming down, the feeling of flowing water seemed to inspire Lu Wei, so he couldn't wait to stand up and do some pre-run warm-up exercises, wanting to make this feeling a part of his body's memory as soon as possible.

"Take it easy this time. Rest for 3 minutes after each set. You can practice the movements during the rest time!" Coach Jiang reminded Lu Wei, not forgetting to do so as well. At this point, trying to persuade him would probably be ineffective, so it was better to go along with his wishes.

If Lu Wei goes crazy again this time, not only Wang Qiao, but he himself will probably collapse.

This process was very sudden. Not only were Wang Qiao and Coach Jiang caught off guard, but even the other coaches and athletes on the track and field felt it was a bit unbelievable.

"If I were in that situation, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on training at all this morning."

"This is normal. Would Lu Wei's training be effective if he went straight into training without any adjustments?"

Amidst everyone's incredulous gaze, Lu Wei began his 400-meter mid-race training.

Lu Wei had a different feeling in the first 400-meter race. Before, he always felt that each step was separate from the next and he never thought too much about the connection between each step.

During training, the division of labor in each step of the body is like an assembly line: the supporting foot pushes off the ground, the swinging leg is responsible for driving the body, and the arms, in addition to maintaining balance, can also promote running.

Running like this only clearly defines the division of labor in the body, but it doesn't give you the feeling of the body as a whole. The feeling of running is that each step is separate from the next, and there is absolutely no smooth connection between the two steps.

But when he was running today, he could clearly feel that different parts of his body were connecting, and he ran very smoothly.

After Lu Wei finished his first 400-meter run, Wang Qiao pressed his manual timer. However, since today's race was a training session, he didn't plan to let Lu Wei know his results.

"You're starting to feel the rhythm in this set. Your body feels more coordinated. Take a deep breath and adjust your breathing. Do another set in 3 minutes. Remember not to swing your leg too much in the next set, as a long stride will affect your rhythm." Wang Qiao commented on Lu Wei's set and then told him the precautions.

Three minutes later, Lu Wei started his second 400-meter run. At this moment, Coach Jiang ran over and asked Wang Qiao, "What was his 400-meter time just now?"

"45.05 seconds, running at a constant pace throughout, without a final sprint, this is already a good result. More importantly, this group had a very strong sense of rhythm, better than his previous races. Coach Jiang, if I hadn't witnessed it myself, I really wouldn't have believed it if someone else told me this."

Wang Qiao still had an incredulous expression on her face. She had been on the verge of a mental breakdown just now, but after only a few minutes of adjustment, she was able to train normally again. More importantly, the training effect was really good.

"Let's wait and see before making a judgment. This kid keeps causing me trouble. My arm still hurts. Come and massage it for me." Coach Jiang, supporting his arm, walked over to Wang Qiao. The two of them watched Lu Wei's third group of 400 meters together on the sidelines.

In the second 400-meter run, Lu Wei didn't deliberately take a long stride, and it felt more comfortable than before. He felt his body was like a rotating wheel, with each step feeling like a wheel turning, rather than the mechanical movement of two straight lines as before.

From group 2 to group 5, Lu Wei's time was between 45 seconds and 45.10 seconds. Although Wang Qiao and his apprentice did not say it, they were both secretly impressed by Lu Wei's consistency.

Such consistent results show that Lu Wei has a good grasp of the rhythm in these 5 sets of 400 meters, and it seems that he has gradually found his own rhythm.

Athletes are not machines; as training continues, their physical fitness will inevitably decline significantly. Although Lu Wei did not sprint in the last 50 meters during the race, the 400 meters is the longest distance in anaerobic exercise. Even running at a steady pace, the accumulation of lactic acid will gradually increase the feeling of fatigue in the body.

Lu Wei's five sets of 400-meter races were comparable to his personal best, and his ability to maintain such a stable performance shows that his aerobic endurance has improved significantly during this period.

Seeing that things had returned to normal, the team members focused on their training, paying no attention to anything outside of it. However, the coaches didn't need to be 100% focused on the athletes' training. Many coaches could manage to supervise their own athletes' training while also keeping an eye on other athletes on the field.

Coach Sun had already started timing Lu Wei when Lu Wei was running his 6th set. After all, he had to participate in dozens of races with Liu Feiren every year, so he could tell at a glance what kind of quality Lu Wei's 400-meter run was.

When Lu Wei reached the 6th group, Coach Sun began to remark, "This young Lu's physical talent is nothing like that of an Asian. I've said before that it's unscientific to use race to measure an athlete's performance. As long as the country's economic strength improves, it will definitely produce athletic talents!"

After the sixth set, Coach Sun manually timed Lu Wei's time at 44.97 seconds. He found it somewhat unbelievable that he could achieve such a result after running six sets in a row.

It's worth noting that such a result would guarantee advancement to the preliminary rounds in an international competition, leaving no room for doubt. Running six consecutive sets with times around 45 seconds demonstrates that Lu Wei now possesses the ability to participate in high-intensity competitions consecutively in a short period.

There are very few people with such ability, especially since he is only 19 years old.

Lu Wei's ability to fight continuously is due not only to his extraordinary aerobic endurance, but also to his sudden grasp of rhythm.

After finding his rhythm, Lu Wei felt that he was running much less strenuously. Although the coach hadn't told him his results, he could roughly guess them from the large clock on the track.

Moreover, in the first 9 training sessions, my performance not only did not decline, but also improved slightly.

When the second hand of the clock pointed to 12, Lu Wei suddenly stepped off the starting line. He felt somewhat tired after the last three races.

In previous training sessions, my times in the later sets would definitely have dropped. However, thanks to my smooth running rhythm, my 400-meter times were very stable in these sets.

In the last set, Lu Wei felt a bit sore in his thighs and could barely lift his arms. After all, maintaining such a high level of training for 40 minutes would be strenuous for anyone.

In this 400-meter race, Lu Wei relied entirely on his steady rhythm to get through it. At the 200-meter mark, he was able to maintain his momentum without exerting any force, letting the inertia of his body carry him for two more steps.

These two short steps seemed to recharge Lu Wei's energy, restoring a significant amount of power. Lu Wei then continued to exert himself, maintaining his pace to complete the final 200 meters.

The moment he reached the finish line, Lu Wei turned to look at the clock. The second hand was exactly at 45 seconds. He had finally found his running rhythm during the race.

When Lu Wei turned his head back, he suddenly realized that all the coaches and players present were looking at him, and his coach Wang Qiao gave him a thumbs up.

No one knows who started it, but applause rang out across the entire track and field. Today, Lu Wei not only showed everyone his stubborn side, but also gave everyone a high-quality training session. It turns out that there are experts all around us.
