Coach Sun had been with Liu Feiren. He noticed that Liu Feiren had been watching Zhang Guan's training and said with a smile, "What, you want to try too?"
Liu Feiren shook his head: "I'd better focus on one thing. But I always felt that Zhang Guan's 400-meter run was a bit weird."
"You can see it too?" Coach Sun continued: "This is not just weird, it is simply different. No athlete today can run like him!"
Liu Feiren didn't quite understand, so Coach Sun said: "The running method commonly used by our domestic athletes is: adjust the rhythm in the first 100 meters, accelerate in a straight line in the second 100 meters, adjust the rhythm in the third 100 meters, and adjust the rhythm in the fourth 100 meters." A 100-meter sprint."
Liu Feiren nodded, he knew this. In the 400-meter dash, you are in a curve after starting. Since your physical strength is relatively sufficient at this time, the athletes can run more easily. At the same time, athletes at this stage need to get into a familiar rhythm of exercise as soon as possible. Running according to the rhythm will save a lot of physical energy. After entering the straight track, athletes will choose to speed up and use about 90% or even 95% of the force to run.
Then enter the second corner, which is the most uncomfortable stage for athletes. Due to the straight-line acceleration, physical strength has been consumed a lot, so you will feel tired or slightly suffocated in the second corner. This is a normal physiological phenomenon caused by anaerobic exercise, and athletes will also slow down slightly in the second corner to make adjustments. Then entering the final straight, it’s about running as fast as you can until you cross the line.
Coach Sun next to him continued to explain: "I was also observing Zhang Guan. He did not use this kind of running method. He ran at the same rhythm in the first 300 meters, whether it was curves or straights, and then on the final straights He will sprint hard. I secretly asked Lao Yu yesterday, and he said that Zhang Guan is not very good at switching the rhythm between corners and straights, so I might as well use this running method."
"Hahaha, it turns out I can't learn it! Has he ever been so embarrassed? I thought he invented a new 400-meter running method!" Liu Feiren laughed.
"I also think it's quite funny. I choose another running method because I can't learn it. Zhang Guan should be the first one! But this running method is not an innovative running method, but a very retro running method. Law. Probably when this running method appeared, your parents' generation was just born!" Coach Sun said.
Liu Feiren listened quietly, waiting for Coach Sun to continue to answer, and Coach Sun continued: "When there was the 400-meter dash in the beginning, no one knew how to run, they just stretched their legs and ran forward. At that time, the athletes actually It was running blindly; later, athletes discovered that if they ran at the same rhythm, they would save a lot of energy, and then use this energy in the final sprint, which would have a very good effect. So at that time, the 400-meter running method was The first 300 meters are almost at the same pace, and the back straight is sprinting, which is Zhang Guan’s current running style.”
"But now that everyone is using this running method, the competition is no longer enjoyable to watch. Especially when the athletes are of similar strength, everyone runs about the same in the front. When it comes to the final straight track, there is not much difference. It feels like It was like watching a 100-meter sprint that lacked physical strength. Later, more modern running methods began to appear, such as entering the straight at the first corner quickly, then increasing the speed on the straight and then entering the corner to adjust, which is also commonly used by European and American athletes. The 250-meter sprint and so on. Especially after the appearance of Michael Johnson from the United States, sprinting technology has developed greatly. Our country's 400-meter sprinting technology is actually very backward. Now West Asian athletes and Japanese athletes have begun to use it. The technology in some European and American countries is out of control.”
Liu Feiren nodded, and then asked: "Isn't Zhang Guan already behind the times with this retro running method? Then will he be very passive during the game?"
"It's possible, but it's not entirely certain. In the 400-meter sprint event, each athlete will have a running method and rhythm distribution method that suits him or her. Since the athletes don't have to merge, there are fewer tactical considerations. They just need to follow their own rhythm. Just running is enough, so it is actually a test of strength." Coach Sun thought for a while, and then continued: "Zhang Guan's 100-meter dash is the best in the world, and he is much better than other domestic players. I think just relying on In terms of physical fitness, he can run 400 meters better than many professional 400-meter runners in China!"

Field Management Center
There was a knock on the door, Director Luo shouted "Come in", and then Director Ma opened the door and came in.
"Director, I have something to report to you." Director Ma sat directly opposite Director Luo and continued, "It's about Zhang Guan."
"Zhang Guan? What happened to him?" Director Luo's heart tightened. The love affair had just ended. Could there be any new problems
"It's like this. Regarding East Asian athletes, Zhang Guan said that he doesn't want to participate in the 100-meter dash!" Director Ma said.
"Don't participate? No!" Director Luo suddenly felt a little angry. He suddenly felt that what the annoying President Qu said was quite reasonable. Maybe it was not good to give athletes too much autonomy. How long did it take for Zhang Guan to refuse? Participate!
"Director, don't get me wrong, Zhang Guan proposed not to participate in the 100-meter dash, but instead to participate in the 200-meter dash and the 400-meter dash." Director Ma continued.
"Oh? 200 meters? 400 meters? Can he do it?" Director Luo immediately calmed down, and the anger just now disappeared without a trace.
"I think the 200 meters should be okay. I once watched him run 200 meters. He has the ability to run under 20.20 seconds in the 200 meters dash. But I can't guarantee the 400 meters." Director Ma explained.
"20 seconds 20? That's 0.3 seconds faster than the national record!" Director Luo was surprised, and then said with relief: "Yes, he is more than half a second faster than other domestic athletes in the 100-meter event, and 0.3 seconds faster in the 200-meter event is very It’s normal. So it’s not far from the Asian record? Is it possible to win a medal in a world competition?”
"It may not be close now, but it will definitely be possible in two or three years. If it is an Asian competition, there will definitely be no problem with medals, and there is an 80-90% chance of a gold medal!" Director Ma replied.
"Within two or three years, that means we can make it to the next Olympics!" Director Luo suddenly became excited. He had already begun to imagine winning the 100m and 200m championships in the next Olympics. Then he said: "The 200m for East Asian athletes Let him try the meter dash. But for the 400 meters..."
Director Luo hesitated. 400 meters is different from 200 meters. If compared with 100 meters, the span is larger.
Director Ma next to him said: "I heard from Lao Yu that although Zhang Guan's 400-meter skills are still lacking, his rhythm is quite good. But I haven't seen it with my own eyes. How about we test it? If he runs well, let him he goes."
Director Luo nodded: "Okay, test! If he can run 46 seconds, let him compete."
…
In the restaurant of the Xinzhuang training base, Liu Fei and Zhang Guan happened to be sitting across from each other.
"Today's beef was really good." Liu Feiren picked up another piece of beef stew and asked, "I heard that you applied not to participate in the 100-meter dash in the East Asian Games, but instead ran the 200-meter and 400-meter dash?"
Zhang Guan nodded: "There are only a few people participating in the East Asian Games. The 100 meters is not difficult. The strongest Japanese can't even run for 10 seconds. There is no passion for beating food. So it is better to leave the opportunity to our country If I don't participate in the 100 meters, I can control a quota for other athletes, and let other athletes go on the field to gain experience and gain experience. During the Track and Field Golden Grand Prix a few days ago, Hu Kai performed well and ran first. Five, maybe I can get into the A mark in the future.”
"That's right. You're half a second faster than others, so it's no fun to run. You've been running well in the 200 meters recently. I heard that your training level can basically be maintained within 20 seconds on a hand clock. If you switch to electronic timing, it will be It's just over 20 seconds, so it's no problem to dominate Asia." Liu Feiren took a sip of the soup, and then said: "But your 400-meter run was really terrible! Although I haven't run 400 meters, I can see that your skills are not good enough. What, especially when I first started practicing, I was almost at an amateur level."
"Don't be in a hurry, just practice slowly. After all, the 400-meter race requires too much skill. I estimate that after two months of serious training, I will feel better by the beginning of next year." Zhang Guan continued: "This afternoon, Ma The director is coming to give me a test and says that as long as I run within 46 seconds of the 400 meters, I will be allowed to compete."
"46 seconds? Such a high requirement!" Liu Feiren leaned forward slightly and asked, "Are you confident?"
"No problem, it's just 46 seconds!" Zhang Guan said confidently.
"Now I really envy you if you practice sprinting. Those who run 200 meters can also run 100 meters or 400 meters. For example, when I practice hurdles, I can only run 110 meters. It's really boring." Liu Feiren sighed.
"Why don't you also apply to participate in the 4x100 meters for East Asian athletes? It doesn't matter if you can't run fast, I'll take care of it for you."
Liu Feiren shook his head: "Forget it, in the 4x100m relay race, the current lineup will definitely have no problem winning the championship, so I won't cause any trouble."
…
The national team's men's 400-meter dash level is relatively low in the world. If the national team's 100-meter dash can still be at the forefront of Asia, then the 400-meter dash can only be regarded as a middle-to-lower standard in Asia. The standard time for international-level athletes in this event is 45.74 seconds, and there are only two people in the country. The standard time for national-level athletes is 47.60 seconds, and there are not many people. The Olympic A standard for the 400-meter sprint is 45.55 seconds, and the B standard is 45.95 seconds. However, in the two years before the Athens Olympics, no one from the national team ran into the Olympic B standard, which means that no one participated in the 400-meter sprint at the Athens Olympics. meters game.
The 46 seconds that Director Luo mentioned is actually considered a top result in China. In the 400-meter sprint event, only three domestic athletes have broken the 46-second mark before. Two are active athletes and one He is a retired player. A time of 46 seconds would have a great chance of winning a medal even in Asian track and field competitions.
In domestic general-level competitions, if you can run 46.5 seconds in the 400-meter sprint event, you can almost win the championship. In the 10th National Games competition that just ended not long ago, the top three results were 46.15 seconds, 46.44 seconds and 46.66 Second.
Therefore, 46 seconds is actually quite difficult.
