Quick Transmigration: When Can I Just Lay Down and Wait to Die?

Time flies, and the short three-day holiday passed in the blink of an eye. After the holiday, Liu Yuxi quickly composed herself and devoted herself wholeheartedly to preparing for the Grand Prix.

This time, she shifted her training focus to the 200-meter event. Although she broke the world record at the Asian Games, that was with the help of internal energy; without using internal energy, she still can't run 21.34 seconds.

Breaking records is certainly easier with the added benefit of internal energy, but she can't get used to using internal energy, which would be tantamount to cheating.

They said that once she got used to it, and after a few more years when her internal strength was high enough, she could cover a distance of one or two hundred meters in a flash with her internal strength and lightness technique.

What if she gets used to using internal energy in competitions? Show off her "superpowers" in front of the whole world? Are you kidding me?

Therefore, she can only rely on her physical fitness and the skills she learned from her coach to compete with others. With her "super strength", her physical fitness has already surpassed that of 90% of people in the world. What more could she ask for?

What's more, surprisingly, she has now developed a genuine interest in this kind of sport that involves sweating and striving.

This sport doesn't involve many fancy skills or any element of luck; it's purely the most primitive form of competition.

In this arena, only the strong can laugh last and become the true kings; while the losers can only leave the stage in despair.

The audience's attention is always focused on the brightest star on the field. Liu Yuxi knows that if she wants that star to become a constant, she must put in much more effort.

So she sweated it out on the training field every day, and every start and sprint felt like a race against time.

Now she trains for the full marathon every day because she has no problem with the technique; what she lacks is proficiency. Once she becomes more proficient, her time should be able to consistently break 21.34 seconds.

As she gradually gained proficiency, the coach assigned her a new challenge—incorporating interval training into the full-distance run.

Here's a brief explanation of the role of incorporating interval training into the 200-meter dash for track and field athletes. The main benefits include the following:

1. Improve speed and strength: Interval running is a good way for runners to train speed and strength, and it requires continuous effort.

2. Raise your anaerobic or lactate threshold: Interval running can help you raise your anaerobic or lactate threshold, which is key to running faster.

Your lactate threshold is the ability of lactate (a byproduct of glucose metabolism) to accumulate in your muscles. The buildup of lactate in muscles can cause runners to feel fatigued and sore while running.

If you can optimize your lactate threshold through interval training, you can reduce lactate buildup and run faster without feeling muscle fatigue.

3. Develop mental resilience and endurance: Interval running also helps develop mental resilience and endurance because you are training at speeds beyond your comfort zone.

4. Enrich your workout routine and increase your interest in running: According to medical research, interval running can not only enrich your workout routine and increase your interest in running, but also greatly improve your physical function.

Therefore, in conclusion, incorporating interval training into the 200-meter dash can help track and field athletes comprehensively improve their competitive level.

At first, Liu Yuxi struggled to adapt; the speed changes disrupted her rhythm, and she nearly fell several times. But she didn't give up, trying again and again, and gradually found the technique for changing speeds. As her training progressed, she was able to maintain a good level of performance during interval running, and the speed transitions became increasingly smooth.

A few days later, the coach told her that there would be an internal simulation match next week, which would be a test of her training results during this period.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuxi's fighting spirit was ignited. She trained even harder, incorporating interval running techniques into every full-distance run, hoping to showcase her strength in the simulation competition.

The mock competition arrived quickly. Liu Yuxi arrived at the venue early to warm up. Although it was just a mock competition, she took it very seriously, since training and actual competition are quite different.

The race was about to begin. She stood on the starting line, took a deep breath, and adjusted her mindset. As the starting gun fired, she shot off like an arrow, with a perfect start.

Next came the curve, where the results of the training would be put to the test. Liu Yuxi leaned slightly forward, his steps steady and swift as he sped along the curve.

She skillfully used interval running techniques, flexibly adjusting her speed in the curves, maintaining centripetal force in the curves while accumulating power for the sprint after exiting the curves.

She smoothly exited the corner, leaving her opponents far behind. The wind whistled in her ears, but her attention was focused, with only the finish line in her mind.

In the final fifty meters, she gritted her teeth and sprinted with all her might, her leg muscles working tirelessly, each step seemingly tapping on the beat of victory.

Finally, she crossed the finish line first. The time displayed on the timing board was 21.33 seconds; she really did it on her own, breaking the 21.34-second barrier!

Liu Yuxi waved her arms excitedly. All her hard work over the past few months had paid off, and she was one step closer to becoming a true track and field superstar.

The coach smiled with satisfaction, telling her that she could continue to strive for even higher goals. Liu Yuxi was filled with confidence; she knew her future on the track and field would be even more brilliant.

In late January, Liu Yuxi returned to Suzhou University for the second time after being admitted to university. She came back to take her final exams. (Facepalm emoji)

The atmosphere on campus was completely different from that on the track and field, more tranquil and scholarly. Liu Yuxi, carrying her schoolbag, strolled along the campus paths; the exam really didn't put much pressure on her.

So she can still appreciate the beauty of the campus now, after all, she paid her tuition. What if, when people interview her and ask her what her alma mater is like? And she replies, "I don't know!" How could she possibly have the nerve?

She passed the exam week with ease. She didn't dare to dream of getting a perfect score, but she was confident of getting around 90. As long as the school didn't hold her back, she would still be able to get her degree.

The National Indoor Athletics Grand Prix is ​​just around the corner. This year's Grand Prix will consist of four legs, held in Sichuan, Shaanxi, Shandong, and Jiangsu.

This time, she was participating in the third leg of the competition in Shandong. After arriving at the Shandong venue, her coach told her that there were still two dark horses this year. Liu Yuxi laughed and asked, "Am I one of them?" Hearing her say that, the coach also laughed and replied, "No, not at all!"

This is not because Liu Yuxi has become arrogant and complacent, but because she has strong strength as a support, which allows her to show such a calm and unhurried attitude.

This composure is not arrogance or disdain for others, but rather stems from her complete confidence in her own abilities. When faced with various challenges and difficulties, she can handle them with ease based on her own strength, without being disturbed by external pressure.
