Chapter 438: How a long-distance runner is made

McLauris followed the group, as was his custom.

Of course, McLauris's habit is not running 10,000 meters, but hunting.

This is his first time to participate in the 10,000-meter race, and the reason is that the chief said that as long as he can run to the front, he can get two cows.

Those are two cows!

Cows are more valuable than people to primitive tribesmen.

The slaves captured from the tribal battles not only worked hard, but also thought about escaping all the time.

As a master, you have to keep an eye on them all the time, which is tiring and laborious.

But cattle are different. The biggest use of cattle is to cultivate land.

A field plowed with oxen before seeding can produce more than twice as much yield as if it were seeded directly.

Although Kenya has tractors specially used for plowing, it is definitely not something that one can afford.

Even if I could afford it, I wouldn't be able to use it because gas prices are too expensive.

It is better to work with cattle. There is grass everywhere on the grassland. If you tie it anywhere you want, these cattle will be full.

So when he heard that there was a cow, McLauris' first reaction was that no matter what happened, he would get first place.

After Boss Zhang promised to give him an additional 80 cows if he won the first place, the flame of victory in McLauris's heart almost ignited himself.

He also has this confidence.

Although McLauris has never trained for a 10,000-meter run, he has captured an antelope alive.

Antelopes are creatures that not only run fast, but are also very alert.

To catch them, you first need to shoot them with a bow and arrow.

The injured antelope will gradually lose its energy while running and become his prey.

But don’t think that an injured antelope is easy to catch. On the contrary, after being injured, the antelope will burst out with a terrifying desire to survive.

They will run for dozens of kilometers quickly, completely out of sight of hunters.

At this time, McLauris needs to catch up and keep the antelope in his sight.

Once the antelope is out of sight, the cunning herbivore will hide and use tree branches to brush off arrows.

Without arrows on the body, the antelope's wounds will slowly scab over.

As long as it is not fatal, it will be back to normal soon.

Even if he is fatally injured, he cannot let them out of his sight.

Because in addition to antelopes, there are also natural enemies on the grassland.

Such as African leopards, wild dogs, vultures, etc.

Especially vultures. When these creatures fly around in the sky, no injured creature within a ten-kilometer radius can escape their eyes.

If he runs too slowly, there is a high chance that when he finds the dead antelope, there will only be a skeleton left.

Sometimes there is not even a skeleton of bones, and the sharp teeth of wild dogs can chew and eat these bones.

As the fastest warrior of the Suzaku tribe, McLauris would rush ahead as soon as the tribe's people hit the antelope.

After he catches the antelope that is injured and unable to run, he will send a signal to the others, and when the tribesmen respond in turn, everyone will share the prey together.

As the hero, McLauris gets a leg of the lamb.

After chasing antelopes for so many years, McLauris has summed up a lot of practical experience.

First of all, during the pursuit, you must always keep a distance from the antelope.

If the other party speeds up, he speeds up; if the other party slows down, he slows down.

Until the antelope's physical strength obviously weakened, he suddenly increased his speed and ran over quickly to knock down the prey.

As for how to keep a certain distance from the antelope, it's very simple.

He just needs to keep his running rhythm consistent with that of the antelope.

That is to say, when the antelope accelerates, it also accelerates; when the antelope decelerates, it also slows down appropriately.

Secondly and most importantly, he must maintain a certain amount of physical strength during the run.

Because of this pursuit, besides him and the antelope, there were other beasts around.

Such as the African leopard.

The African leopard is a very ferocious animal. It only takes three to four seconds for them to run 100 meters.

Once an African leopard attacks, if he does not have sufficient physical reserves, then who is the hunter and who is the prey will be different.

Now in the eyes of McLauris, the person leading the pack is the injured antelope.

All he has to do is keep an eye on the opponent.

In addition to adjusting your own rhythm appropriately to maintain physical strength, another important point is to keep your body adequately hydrated at all times.

That's why he didn't run very far before he went to the side to get some water.

Tracking experience shows that if you follow an injured antelope for five kilometers, your body will become dehydrated.

Once there is too much water shortage, physical strength will decrease, and at the same time, energy and energy will also decrease.

So every 100 meters McLauris runs, he drinks two glasses of water.

Don’t drink too much water at one time. Under intense running, supplementing with too much water will only accelerate sweat secretion.

Sweat contains salt, which will accelerate his decline in physical strength.

and many more!

McLauris noticed something was wrong because the water he drank had a faint salty taste.

Is there salt in this water?

Thinking of this, it couldn't help but take two more sips while replenishing water.

However, the loss of physical strength caused by excessive drinking of water did not occur, which made McLauris very envious.

Salt is very precious to him, so he has to be careful not to put too much in his daily meals, let alone when chasing prey.

Because water with salt can ensure that you still have plenty of energy after sweating a lot.

But the problem is, it's a waste.

You only need to strictly control the amount of water you drink to ensure that your body does not lose water.

and many more!

McLauris discovered another thing. The injured antelope who was now in first place was far slower than the real antelope.

Although he also tried to disrupt his rhythm by changing speeds, no matter whether he accelerated or decelerated, there was still a big gap between him and the antelope.

Was this intentional?

McLauris was a little confused.

Of course he knew that the runner in first place was not an antelope.

But in McLauris' view, the opponent can come here to participate in the sports meeting and run to the first position very confidently, so he is definitely very strong.

After all, the chief told him before that everyone in the world can participate in this Universiade.

You know, there are six billion people in the world.

Six billion...

He had studied mathematics and knew what a huge number it was.

So even if he is the fastest runner in the tribe, McLauris does not think that he is still the fastest among the six billion people.

The other party must be showing weakness on purpose, just like me now.

Sure enough, after running two more laps, the first placer had fallen to second place, and the new first place moved up. The speed was faster than before, and the rhythm changes were more unpredictable.

Fortunately, McLauris has more experience, and he slowly closes the distance with the opponent.

Now this person is a master. If he wants not to be thrown away, he must show some real skills.

If placed on the grassland, he would never do this.

Because there are cheetahs and lions in the grassland, there are all kinds of dangers.

The injured antelope will have a chance next time if he cannot catch it, but once he makes a mistake and these beasts discover his flaw, he will never have a chance again.

But it's different now. This is a track, and he is participating in a competition. Even if his physical strength is really exhausted, there will be no danger.

After McLauris accelerated, he immediately passed several people who couldn't keep up with the change of pace.

Soon, he was only ten meters away from the first place.

There were five or six people in front of him.

These five or six people stand side by side in two or three, forming two human walls. If those behind want to pass, they need to exert force from the outside.

And entering the outer lane to catch up is not just a matter of running a few more steps.

Because it changes the athlete's rhythm.

What's more, if the people running in front find someone trying to catch up through the outer lane, they will suddenly accelerate and always be on the same plane as the other person.

Over time, the person trying to catch up will consume a lot of energy.

Everyone is qualified to stand here and compete on the same stage, and their levels are actually about the same.

Once someone is consumed in this way, they basically have no chance of winning a medal, unless the opponent's strength is not at the same level as yours.

Although McLauris didn't know such a strategy, his rich running experience accumulated in the wild told him that he should keep a low profile at this time.

Therefore, he did not choose to be stronger than the outsiders, but followed carefully.

In addition to focusing on the first place, most of the audience was looking at McLauris.

The reason is simple. This guy is so different, especially when he suddenly ran to the outside of the track to get water.

"Wait, what did I see?

The purpose of taking the water was to drink it? "

"Shouldn't getting water be just for drinking?" Another spectator next to him was obviously an amateur.

"You definitely can't drink it!

What is the average pace of the world's top athletes running 10,000 meters? "

"How many?"

"Sixty-five seconds."

"Wait, how many did you say? Sixty-five seconds? Really?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

Average pace refers to the time it takes to run a lap.

The distance of a regular track is four hundred meters, which means that for these long-distance runners, it takes between 16 and 17 seconds to run one hundred meters.

What is this concept?

Although the audience member who asked the question did not understand the specific details of the 10,000-meter race, he participated in the 100-meter dash when he was in middle school.

He remembers running a little over fifteen seconds and finishing eighth in the entire grade.

His physical fitness was much better at that time than it is now. Now if he were asked to run 100 meters, even if he tried his best, it would be difficult to complete it in 16 seconds.

What does this mean?

It shows that the speed of these athletes in front of me is similar to the speed of running 100 meters at full strength.

But you know, they ran ten thousand meters, one hundred meters, twenty-five laps.

The more knowledgeable spectator next to him saw his shocked expression and couldn't help but smile:

"Do you understand now?

Yes, these athletes are running at this speed. Once the distance exceeds three thousand meters, their bodies begin to release a lot of heat.

If this heat cannot be discharged in time, it may result in minor injuries or even life-threatening injuries.

Have you ever had a fever?

They are having a fever now.

Therefore, athletes usually run outside the court to get water, just to pour water on themselves to cool down.

Even if you take a sip, you will spit it out instead of swallowing it.

Because the effect of just drinking it in your mouth is better than swallowing it in your stomach.

But this black man actually drank it directly and took a sip every once in a while, which was simply outrageous. "

What he said was the truth.

Because when top athletes run 10,000 meters, there are many people who go down to get water.

For example, the famous Farah not only went down to get water, but also broke the world record and became a legend for a while.

But the problem is that the other person did go down to get water, but he only took a couple of sips, poured the water on himself, and threw away the bottle in his hand.

In front of me, McLauris was running while holding a bottle, and he looked calm and calm, as if he was taking a leisurely stroll with his two feet on the track.

Those who knew knew that he was participating in the 10,000-meter race, while those who didn't knew thought he was here for a walk.

But the problem is, this guy's speed is not slow at all, and his state of lifting weight with ease is so pleasing to the eye.

"Wait, he's speeding up!"

"No way? You can surpass the first echelon so easily?"

"What did I see? He followed the first echelon and took two more drinks of water?"

"Is this guy human?"

"..."

You can't blame the audience for being so shocked, McLauris's performance was really brilliant.

Especially some attentive spectators, who discovered that McLauris kept looking at the first place during the run.

In other words, although he is currently ranked seventh, his speed is at the same pace as the first place.

If the first person is faster, he will be faster, and if the first person is slower, he will be slower. The two sides always keep a distance of ten meters.

Su Tiejun also noticed this scene. He told Zhang Yue this detail: "Awesome! This guy's level is no worse than Farah."

Zhang Yue was stunned: "Real or false?"

He had encouraged McLauris before because he was in a tribe and had a cooperative relationship with his company. He didn't expect this guy to be so powerful.

"Of course!"

Su Tiejun said to Zhang Yue in an excited tone: "I just had a few words with McLauris, and he has never gone through systematic 10,000-meter training.

But this does not mean that he is weak. On the contrary, the opponent may be stronger than those athletes who have undergone systematic training. "

Zhang Yue looked at him puzzled: "Really? This is impossible, right?"

It's not that Zhang Yue looks down on Yeluzi. If it were a few decades ago, those Yeluzi players would have been equally likely to win the championship.

But things are different now. Everyone's training is more scientific and systematic, coupled with meticulous competitive skills, there is no way that Yeluzi players can compare.

Su Tiejun said: “This is of course impossible for a sprinter.

But distance runners are different.

Especially McLauris.

Yes, professional training is indeed more scientific and reasonable.

But for these athletes, sports are just their careers.

McLauris is different. Long-distance running is an essential skill for him to survive in the Kenyan savannah.

As long as he can't outrun the injured antelope, he will starve to death.

Which do you think puts more pressure on athletes, work or death? "

Zhang Yue was stunned because he suddenly thought of something.

There was once a bicycle rally, and the winner of this race turned out to be a second-rate player.

In similar competitions he has participated in before, his results have never been among the top ten.

So much so that the referee once suspected him of cheating. The athlete was very angry after hearing this and asked the referee to pull up the game video and watch it.

It turned out that he was really innocent. As for the reason for the opponent's victory, it was not that he trained hard and improved his athletic level.

But not long after the game started, a brown bear, for some unknown reason, desperately chased after him.

And he didn't chase other athletes nearby, just him. He chased him all the way.

So in order to survive, he won.
