Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 737 Records for the next 50 years!

在2019年4月以前，半马的世界纪录是肯尼亚选手巴拿马·基普图姆，在2018年10月创造的58分18秒——再早之前则是2010年的58分23秒，相差只有5秒。

而全程马拉松的世界纪录，则是同样来自肯尼亚的埃鲁德·基普乔格，在2018年9月创造的2小时1分39秒。

From the comparison of these two results, it can be seen that the result of the whole marathon will be slightly more than twice the result of the half marathon.

This is not difficult to understand, because people will become more and more tired after running, even if Li Poluo has the blessing of [Suzaku's Blood], he cannot escape this restriction.

Therefore, even if Lee Polo breaks the half-marathon record in 54 minutes and 45 seconds, no one can guarantee that he can run the entire 42 kilometers in the same state in the whole marathon.

What's more, Madrid has a downhill track that is nearly half the distance, which will undoubtedly save a lot of effort in the second half, while the track in Paris is more complicated.

It is particularly worth noting that nearly half of the track is located on the banks of the Seine, which is more or less affected by humidity and wind.

However, even though he will face many difficulties, Lee Polo still publicly stated before the game:

"I'm not only going to break the world record, but I'm going to break the 2-hour mark!"

The entire track and field field shook again!

Because in the history of the marathon, no one has ever run within two hours!

Even taking into account favorable conditions such as downwind and downhill, no one has accomplished this feat!

All of a sudden, this competition in Paris directly overwhelmed other competitions held on the same day in the Netherlands, Poland, and Serbia, attracting attention from all over the world!
There are many arithmetic geniuses, and they began to calculate one after another:
[It takes Lee Polo 54 minutes and 45 seconds to run a half marathon, how long does it take him to run a full marathon? 】

Rounding it up, it takes 55 minutes to run a half marathon. If there is no additional consumption, it takes 2*55=110 minutes to run a full marathon!

Referring to the world record, the full marathon is 121 minutes and 39 seconds, the half marathon is 58 minutes and 18 seconds, and the two half marathons are 116 minutes and 36 seconds, a difference of 5 minutes.

If Li Polo's half marathon and full marathon are the same, then he can complete the full marathon within 110+5=115 minutes!

Even if his condition is slightly worse, or the track is against the wind, it is entirely possible to break through 5 minutes with an allowance of 120 minutes!
-
"If you really want to do something big, we can make a good plan..."

On the morning of April 4, before the start of the game, agent Alan Barnett suddenly mentioned something.

Lee Polo's participation in the marathon these two times was all impromptu, and it was indeed a bit hasty.

However, it was also because there was no particularly suitable track and field competition in April that Lee Polo moved to the marathon to vent his vigorous energy and create some news hot spots by the way.

Regarding the manager's words, he casually asked:
"What are you planning?"

Allen shrugged:

"Let's pack it up. For example, we can invite some retired marathon runners to serve as accompanying runners, and arrange two pace cars. We can even use drones and helicopters to create a full momentum for you."

Li Poluo slapped his thigh and said slightly annoyed:

"So you can still play like this! Next time, definitely arrange a full set for me!"

Allen laughed:
"But if you fail to win the championship, these preparations... will make us a laughing stock!"

He only laughed for a second and couldn't stop laughing.

Because Li Poluo's gaze was locked on him.

"Okay, I said the wrong thing..."

Allen immediately changed his words:

"This kind of situation, even if the Third World War occurs... it will never happen!"
-
"Snapped!"

After the wonderful opening performance, thousands of players flocked to the track like a tide.

Because of Li Polo's reputation, he was regarded as a specially invited player, and he was ranked first in the team, leading along with many Ethiopian players.

Then... under the witness of thousands of people, he took out the [-]-meter sprint and surpassed the navigation car!

Of course, it was only for those few seconds. As soon as the navigation car stepped on the accelerator, it left him behind again...

"Crazy?"

Among the thousands of players behind him, many of them complained in surprise.

The commentator of the French TV station couldn't help shaking his head again and again:
"This player is obviously inexperienced. On a track as long as 42 kilometers, how can he go all out at the beginning? Huh?"

He suddenly felt that the guest commentator on the opposite side kicked him, and then he paused for a while.

Then he took a closer look at the number on the back of the player:
"01314, Li... Polo?"

He glanced at his partner again.

This time, gratitude was written all over his face.

Just listen to him lowering his voice:

"Tonight, I'll treat you to a drink!"

——If his partner hadn't interrupted him in time, he might have ridiculed Li Poluo and then showed off his knowledge!
-
The speed of the 100-meter sprint was only maintained at [-] meters. After establishing his leading position, Li Boluo slowed down and started running at a marathon pace.

His physical fitness is different from ordinary people, and the sprint of this distance is not enough to cause the lactic acid to accumulate to the point that his legs are weak. Coupled with the extraordinary recovery speed, after he runs a kilometer, this fatigue is gone. Disappeared!
And when he ran 5 kilometers, not only did he not feel tired, but he became more energetic!
The organizers of the event couldn't sit still, because they got the relevant data.

The host who almost mocked Lee Polo before was even more surprised:
"In the first 5 kilometers, Li Poluo's pace per kilometer reached 2 minutes and 38 seconds!"

He holds the historical data of world record holder Kipchoge:

"Kipchoge's pace last year was 2 minutes and 50 seconds!"

"This speed... Can Li Polo maintain it?"

The same question emerged in the minds of audiences all over the world.

A marathon is not a sprint or 5000 meters, but an ultra-long distance of up to 41 kilometers. The distribution of physical fitness is far more important than explosive power.

Going all out in the opening stage, such an amateur behavior should not have happened to a professional player like Li Poluo.

But what is happening now is beyond the comprehension of normal people!
-
After the second 5km run, Li Poluo had already led the second echelon by nearly one kilometer, and his pace remained at 2 minutes and 38 seconds.

Strong, who served as an accompanying runner, only ran 3 kilometers with him, but couldn't keep up. He could only take a sightseeing bus with Allen to enjoy the city scenery of Paris...

After running 20 kilometers, Li Poluo has already left No. 22 kilometers!

And his pace is still 2 minutes and 38 seconds!
After running 25 kilometers, his pace finally fluctuated significantly, dropping to 2 minutes and 39 seconds!
At 30 kilometers, his pace dropped further, directly breaking through 2 minutes and 40 seconds!
"Li Polo is finally an ordinary human being!"

"He's finally tired!"

Countless narrators and TV viewers breathed a sigh of relief, rejoicing for this great discovery.

They even saw that Li Poluo temporarily left the track and ran to the service station on the side, preparing to add some water and food.

"Look! Polo needs to drink water!"

The narrators rejoiced as if they had discovered a new world, as if they had found the authoritative evidence that "Lee Polo is also a human being".

Then...they saw another speechless scene.

Lee Polo, who had just taken a sip of water, was taken for a group photo by a handsome female fan...

"My name is Lisa, and I'm your diehard fan. Can you take a photo with me? Please!"

It is only mid-April now, and the temperature in Paris is only 4 degrees, but this female fan is only wearing a cool little suspenders. On both sides of the deep career line, there are two trembling circles.

Li Poluo felt dizzy and had no choice but to agree to the other party's request.

Without further ado, the female fan clamped his left arm in front of his chest, took several pictures in a row with a happy face, and then lifted his chin slightly:

"Can you sign it here on my chest?"

"I want to get your name tattooed!"

Faced with the ardent expectations of the fans, Li Polo certainly would not refuse. He took the marker, leaned between two high mountains, lowered his head and wrote a Chinese character "Li", and heard the message in his mind:

[Negative emotions from Mrs. Lisanna, +66! 】

His right hand trembled, and he almost couldn't hold the pen. He made a quick swipe at the back, dropped the marker, and walked away!

By the way... I also took away a banana!
[This banana is so white, so smooth, so tender! 】

I don't know if it was motivated by the fans, or because he replenished his energy after eating bananas, Lee Polo's legs suddenly filled with strength, and his pace returned to 2 minutes and 39 seconds.

In the last 5 kilometers, he was able to run faster and faster!

When Li Poluo crossed the finish line like a whirlwind, the second echelon closest to him was still a few kilometers away!

Everyone standing at the finish line was stunned!

The host and guests in the live broadcast room were also stunned!
Tens of millions of TV viewers were even more shocked!

"1 hour 54 minutes 22 seconds!"

"He not only broke the 2-hour mark, but also improved Kipchoge's world record by 7 minutes and 17 seconds!"

"It can almost be concluded that in the next 50 years, no one can surpass his record!"

"Except...himself!"

[Negative emotions from all marathon runners, +8869958! 】
