Following in Bolt's footsteps

Chapter 252

"Keep moving. You can't just use your forefoot to grab the ground while running. This is braking, understand?"

Located in the track and field of Jingfeng Track and Field Club in Yanshan District, Guilin, Cheng Guanfeng listened to the guidance of his elder brother Wu Ziyi while constantly adjusting his running style. It is simple to say a word, but it takes countless practice to completely change it. .

Occasionally, I raised my head to look at the sky, the setting sun had already touched the top of the mountain, and the western half of the sky seemed to be full of crowds, and a blood-red sunset glow was burning.

A series of sweet-scented osmanthus trees are planted around the track and field. This is the favorite tree of Guilin people. It has been a year since I came to Guilin, and Cheng Guanfeng also likes it. The wind blowing from time to time blows the refreshing fragrance to him. In the nasal cavity, the muscle soreness seemed to be healed in an instant.

今天是9月12日星期二，全运会田径项目在9月7日就全部结束了，参加完9月8日的全运会闭幕式之后，大哥吴子义就回到了桂林。

大哥不愧是大哥，在全运会上连续拿到了男子100米和200米两块金牌，并且9秒85、19秒76的成绩刷新了这两个项目的赛会纪录。

But what made him most happy was the men's 4×100m event. He was honored to be on stage with Wu Ziyi, and in the final, Wu Ziyi still showed his unrivaled strength. Under the circumstances, the Shanghai-Guangdong and Hubei-Guangdong-Chongqing teams were abruptly reversed, and the Guangxi team won a relay silver medal with a time of 38 seconds.

After returning to Guilin, they have classes as usual during the day, and in the evening they will come to the Jingfeng Club for training. The elder brother Wu Ziyi doesn't practice much. After all, he has been out for more than half a year and needs time to recover his physical condition.

For nerds, exercise can make the body healthier, but for top athletes, it is best not to move now.

Jingfeng Track and Field Club is a private club. Although it is a cooperative relationship with Guangxi Normal University, there are not many students in the huge track and field. Cheng Guanfeng heard Wu Ziyi say, "Track and field depends on talent, and the track and field club must also take the elite route." .

In addition to Cheng Guanfeng himself, there are six other students in the club, all of whom are high-level track and field athletes from Guangxi Normal University, and without exception, they are all sprint events (100 meters, 200 meters), most of them are freelancers. He came here especially from other provinces.

After Wu Ziyi taught Cheng Guanfeng for a while, he went to the side to chat with Wen Ying, and then he practiced alone.

In recent years, due to Wu Ziyi's brand name, Guangxi Normal University has added a lot of funds to the School of Physical Education, especially the sprint team of the Track and Field Department, which has suppressed Tsinghua University and Jinan and other famous schools in the Universiade/Track and Field Championships for two consecutive years. More and more high-level track and field athletes from all over the country come to apply for Guangxi Normal University.

But even so, Wu Ziyi also recruited six students, and these three students were temporarily handed over to Lao Yi to guide, while Zhang Rui studied with Lao Yi.As for Wang Tao, Wu Ziyi has already sent him to the IMG Academy in the moldy country of Florida with money. I hope he can live up to Wu Ziyi's expectations and become an excellent track and field coach.

The Jingfeng Club and Guangxi Normal University are in a cooperative relationship, and Wu Ziyi is not easy to recruit many students. Of course, his requirements are relatively high.And compared to these college students, Wu Ziyi hopes to recruit some young middle school students, especially local middle school students in Guangxi.

Wu Ziyi has very high requirements for recruiting professional athletes. These six students, five men and one woman, are all national first-class athletes, and they are all freshmen of Guangxi Normal University, at the same level as Cheng Guanfeng.

Tomorrow, the track and field coaches and medical personnel introduced by Yuan Guoqiang and others will be in place. Wu Ziyi and Lao Yi will conduct a professional knowledge assessment on them. After the coaches are in place, they will officially start recruiting students. The main goal is to Youth athletes under the age of 18.

The project covers men's/women's 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 110 meters hurdles, long jump, triple jump, a total of 6 events.They are all short jump events. It is still in the early stage of track and field club development, and it is not appropriate to set up too many events. The establishment of these 6 events is enough, and Wu Ziyi has requirements for the number of people in each event.

For example, except for 100 meters, the number of professional athletes recruited for each event is temporarily set to 6, and the ratio of male to female is temporarily set at 2:1 when the event is full.

Middle school student athletes will relax the number and requirements for two purposes:

1 is to use a more scientific method to select and cultivate talented seedlings among middle school student athletes and make long-term plans;
The second is to recruit middle school students who are willing to take the single-recruitment route of sports, and charge tuition fees through large-scale teaching to deny clubs.

Whether Wu Ziyi can make money is unclear for the time being. Anyway, he is now at the peak, and there is still room for growth. Taking Bolt as a reference, his career has at least eight or nine years. If he protects his body properly, he can survive The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics is not out of the question.

It is said that it takes ten years to grow a tree and a hundred years to cultivate people. Regarding Jingfeng Track and Field Club, Wu Ziyi’s idea is that he will not consider whether it will be profitable before the Beijing Winter Olympics.Because Wu Ziyi didn't want to be mixed into the system, the track and field club was an attempt for him. Although the cost required was quite a lot, it was still affordable for his current annual astronomical endorsement fee.

After chatting with Wen Ying for a while, Wen Ying left the track and field and went home to cook for Wu Ziyi. Wu Ziyi waited for Cheng Guanfeng to complete a set of 150 meters and waved to him: "Ah Feng, come and have a rest!"

Cheng Guanfeng was dripping with sweat, and panting, he took a few sips from his water bottle, "Haha, haha, brother, you said before that you should not use the soles of your feet to scratch the ground, but I think you all use it when you run. The forefoot? And if you want to use the back foot after wearing the spikes, you can’t use it?”

Wu Ziyi shook his head with a smile, brought Cheng Guanfeng under the awning, and clicked on the playback on the laptop to show him: "Look, when you are running, you are directly stepping on the runway with the foot that is scratching the ground." Yes, at this time your forefoot is directly touching the runway, and you didn’t actually achieve the word [paw].”

"In the process of running, the most important thing to improve the speed is the momentary friction force on the ground. Your way of picking the ground will lose a large part of the reaction force to push forward. In this way, even if you continue to increase the stride frequency, You will also find that your speed ability has not improved much. And your way of picking the ground is very easy to wear your calf tibia, which is easy to cause periostitis."

Wu Ziyi explained it carefully to Cheng Guanfeng, and Cheng Guanfeng scratched his head.

"I used to think that running was so easy. I didn't expect that the more I learned, the more details I had to pay attention to, and it was really difficult to change this kind of thing. Do I need to use a lot of training methods just for this one movement of scratching the ground? Come help?"

"Of course," Wu Ziyi brought up a training video of Su Bingtian to show him, "If you want to change this bad habit of braking forward, you have to improve your ankle joint strength and tibialis muscle strength, and improve your ankle joint strength. Coach Di usually asks us to practice diamond squats, which is necessary to improve the tibialis muscles.”

"Ah-!! I can't do it as a concubine!!"
