Horse racing girl: Ke Xue raises horses

Chapter 7 Improving Running Form
Kasamatsu Teresin training ground
Today is a rest day in the academy, and there are only a few bustling people on the training ground.

There were also two figures in sportswear among them, none other than Yu Yun and Fujimasa March.

"Fujimasa, I will ask you to use the pitch method to run regardless of competition or training from now on."

"Trainer, what is pitch?" Fujizheng looked at Youyun in confusion as if there was a big question mark staring at his head.

"Each horse racing girl's steps have their own characteristics. According to the differences in these steps, they can be roughly divided into pitch walking and stride walking."

"The pitch walking method has a fast cadence and small stride length, which is suitable for sprinting and grabbing positions, while the stride walking method has a small cadence but a long stride length." You Yun explained.

These two running methods have their own advantages and disadvantages based on different running postures and muscle strength.

pitch move
Advantages: High cadence can increase the speed to the highest speed in a short time, suitable for short distance races, sprinting and grabbing positions, adapting to circumstances, and running corners.With a high cadence, the time for your feet to hit the ground is reduced, and it is less likely to get stuck in the turf and slow down, so it will not be affected when running on heavy fields.

Disadvantages: The number of steps required to run the same distance is more than that of stride, and the physical exertion is greater.

stride move
Advantages: This walking method has a lower cadence and consumes less oxygen in the muscles for the same distance. It is more suitable for long-distance competitions. It can maintain physical strength longer after accelerating to the highest speed. It consumes less and can maintain speed for a longer time.

Disadvantages: Slow acceleration, not conducive to sprinting and breakouts, difficult to respond to emergencies in a timely manner, heavy strides at the bottom, and easily affected by heavy racecourses.

"Does the trainer want me to speed up my cadence in the future, but this will consume more energy and strength, and in the end I won't have the energy to sprint." Fujimasa still has basic common sense, and she usually only sprints at the end. Pick up the pace.

"Yes, the disadvantage of pitch walking is that it does consume more energy, but the most important benefit of a fast pace is that it can reduce the probability of injuries to your legs." You Yun raised his index finger. The glasses of existence explain little knowledge to Fujimasa March.

The body structure of horse racing girls is similar to that of humans, so the slower the cadence when running, the longer the time in the air, and the long time in the air means lifting one's own weight higher.

The higher you lift your weight, the harder you'll hit the ground the next time you land.Many minor injuries occur due to the impact of landing.

"Physical strength can be improved through training, running posture, breathing, etc., but once injuries occur, it will lead to serious consequences."

"If you get injured due to training and competition, I will blame myself very much." You Yun said while looking at Fujimasa's march seriously.

Fujimasa suddenly blushed and turned away his head. He made a fist with his left hand and lightly punched Youyun's chest: "...You are really an excellent trainer."

Normally, Fujimasa pays little attention to her own condition during training, and focuses more on her performance. Suddenly someone was so concerned about her physical condition. Fujimasa March felt a little shy and at a loss.

However, You Yun felt a little uncomfortable. With the physique of the horse racing girl, even though Fujimasa March had control, she still managed to distract him.This is You Yun's usual exercise, if it had been someone else...

Nothing seems to be wrong...

You Yun almost forgot that this was the world of horse racing girls, where the trainers were all superhuman beings who were kicked and hit by horse racing girls and acted like nothing happened!

"Ahem... Let's get down to business. Now I'll teach you how to minimize the impact of running."

"As you step, make your feet feel like they are rolling across the ground, rather than alternately bouncing across the ground."

"Don't drop your foot in front of your body. This movement usually has a braking effect and increases the impact when you switch feet to land."

"Let your feet fall back, closer to your body, closer to your body's center of gravity, so that your body feels like it's floating on your feet." You Yun instructed as he spoke.
Fujimasa March demonstrates the movements of the feet while running.

After demonstrating the movements, You Yun said helplessly: "Although the description is very abstract, the most important thing about running is the feeling. All techniques are based on the premise of making you run more comfortably."

This is what one of the most outstanding coaches and experts in the field of running training in Youyun's previous life summarized. The metaphor is a bit abstract. It took Youyun a long time to find the feeling.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, we..."

"Trainer, I understand!"

Before You Yun could finish his words, Fujimasa shouted excitedly.

???

What do you understand?
Understand so quickly?
"...Now that you understand, just demonstrate it for me to see." You Yun was confused and surprised and immediately said seriously.

After hearing the marching song of Fujimasa on the side, he immediately returned to the track, opened his front legs and ran forward briskly. His movements were light and beautiful. The feeling when he landed on the ground made Youyun feel very comfortable, and his pace was faster than usual. …

Someone cheated on the coach!
Why, this is unscientific!

Is this the horse girl?
Or is it that Fujimasa is gifted with marching music?

……

Wait, don't tell me!

"Well, it's very good. Although I'm still a little unskilled, you should be able to master it completely in a short time."

"The next thing to talk about is running posture. A good running posture can make you run faster, with less effort and more comfortable. Everyone's running posture is unique, and only the most comfortable and effortless running posture belongs to you. The best running posture." You Yun made a symbolic running gesture to demonstrate.

Fujimasa asked as if a student was asking a question to the teacher: "Trainer, how do you know if it is the most comfortable? I think my current running is very comfortable."

"It's actually very simple. Fujimasa, when you run, remember: let yourself feel like you are about to fall forward, and have to move your legs quickly to avoid falling. Keep your head still and look straight ahead."

"The arm should feel like it is being pulled back - pull the arm back through the shoulder, which should remain relaxed at all times. Don't swing the arm too much, and when swinging forward, the hand should not exceed the central axis of the body and the level of the chin."

"Lean forward by bending your knees and raising your heels so your legs can move almost like you're riding a bicycle. Then plant your feet lightly on the ground and move quickly and lightly."

As soon as You Yun finished speaking, the man followed and ran out.

The swishing sound of the sportswear sounded. Although she was not a racing girl, Youyun ran extremely fast and light. Every step felt very rhythmic and rhythmic, and her acceleration was not slow at all.

"It's amazing!! Trainer, trainer seems to have a... indescribable wonderful feeling when running." Fujimasa looked at Youyun in surprise after running more than ten meters and then turning back.

Youyun ignored Fujimasa's exclamation and continued to explain: "Remember that the upper body must be stable and avoid deflection or shaking."

Youyun took the trouble to guide the movements of Fujimasa's march, from smooth exertion to fixed angles. Some professional skills that had never been heard before were revealed in front of Fujimasa's march.

"What did the trainers do before, and why do they know so much!" Fujimasa March had been coached by Shibazaki before, but she felt that the trainers in Kasamatsu and even everywhere should not know the techniques Yu Yun talked about.

"Okay, don't ask so many questions. Just go to training. Just follow what I just said and follow your own feelings."

Youyun turned around and walked to the edge of the track, picked up the glass of water with wolfberry in it and drank it.

"If your arms are wider, use your upper arms to drive your forearms."

"Fujimasa, pace faster!"

"Relax and relax your body as much as possible!"

"Yeah, that's it, you're doing great! Keep it up."

Tengzheng March listened to Youyun's instructions and kept adjusting his posture. With the continuous violent exercise, Tengzheng March felt that his body became more and more relaxed, as if he was about to float. As his body swayed, the speed became faster and faster. If it were normal, he would probably Already starting to pant.

As expected of a trainer, he’s so awesome and his body doesn’t feel tired at all!

Try accelerating at full speed!

Fujimasa muttered silently, his running rhythm suddenly accelerated, and his cadence instantly increased. Although this increase in speed was not obvious to the naked eye, the feeling of his body running, and the speed at which his legs changed on the track, were all the things his body could do. An extremely real feeling.

The footsteps made a swishing sound on the soft sand track. Fujimasa's march made him feel the wind in his ears, because he was still running in a familiar posture for the few laps just now, running at a slow and steady speed. At this time, he put in all his strength and ran unexpectedly. Indescribable pleasure.

Youyun looked at the running march of Tengzheng, and he had already determined one thing in his mind.

"really……"
