Born to Run

At this time, the situation in the arena has changed suddenly.

The first corner was over, and the first 100-meter run was completed. The Jamaican veteran Michael Blackwood on the second track gradually overtook it. At the same time, Andrew Luke on the third track and Raun Merritt on the sixth track. Several people have slowly moved up.

Although the advantage does not seem to be large, compared to this group of players whose average strength has reached the current world's top standards, this advantage is enough to make people look at.

When Ye Chin entered the straight after the first corner, he followed closely behind the Jamaican player Michael Blackwood on the second.

The opponent is a famous player full of honor, the runner-up of the two World Championships, the men's 400-meter champion of the 2003 World Athletics Indoor Championships, and the gold medalists of various IAAF competitions. They are strong.

However, after starting the race, except for the first few tens of meters, Ye Qin has not been pulled down by the opponent, but has the feeling of faintly approaching him.

In terms of the men's 200m performance alone, Ye Qin is not inferior to the opponent, and still exceeds.

However, because of the starting reaction and slow starting acceleration, as well as his inherent control of the rhythm of the first half of the 400-meter run, he has always been relatively conservative in the first half of the 400-meter race, and even relatively slow.

In this group of men's 400 meters, Ye Qin's first half was completely different from the past. He changed the previous running method that carefully controlled the rhythm of the first half, but rather meant to let go.

At Baylor University, during the men’s 400-meter test that day, Michael Johnson pointed out his problem sharply. He ran too close in the first half and deliberately controlled too much.

Why not let go of some running?

Yeqin has been thinking about this issue recently, and this is also a problem that Randy Hunter has been thinking about, Yeqin.

In his opinion, Yeqin can run for 46 seconds in 400 meters indoors, and at least 45 seconds in 400 meters outdoors. Even 45 seconds is not impossible.

A big part of the problem here is Yeqin's own rhythm, physical fitness and speed distribution.

In this group of competitions, Yeqin let go of his original controllable rhythm and raised the speed in the first half. Although he hasn't reached the level when he ran 200 meters, it basically reached an amazing level.

At this moment, many spectators watching the game on the sidelines were a little surprised.

The Asian player ran so fast in the first half of the race. He was in the first lane. Not only did he not be driven away by many famous players such as Michael Blackwood and Andrew Luke, he also had a faint tendency to catch up.

Many people have a question in their hearts. Perhaps this Asian runner is only running hard in the first half of the race, but this is 400 meters. If you run too fast in the first 200 meters, you may not have enough energy to enter the second half.

Many spectators who are willing to watch the game have some knowledge of track and field events. In the City of Track and Field and the University of Oregon, many people even tried to run 400 meters, knowing the physical fitness and speed distribution involved.

Ye Qin didn't think about what other people thought at this time. He just felt that he was very comfortable running. He didn't deliberately think about controlling the rhythm and pressing his own speed in the first half of the journey. At this moment, Ye Qin even faintly. It feels like I'm getting rid of the shackles of the cage.

Straight into the curve.

Eight players galloped.

The athletes on the eighth and seventh lanes on the outermost side, because of the advantage brought by the number of forward stretches, have already taken the lead to run into the corner, and then the athletes of several other passes have entered the corner successively.

When Ye Qin entered the curve, he had already adjusted his movements early.

In long-distance track races of 400 meters or longer, athletes need to be vigilant when entering a curve on a straight. The more they can maintain their rhythm and level to run, the more they can take advantage of the curve distance.

Ye Qin's cornering technique itself is considered to be his best running technique, and as soon as he enters the corner, he is instantly in the water.

In fact, it is more difficult for the inside runners to run the corners than the curve runners. Because of the arc, the outside runners are relatively easy to adjust in the told run, while the inside runners will have a certain sense of cramping.

But Yeqin was able to converge perfectly in the 400-meter indoor race, and the corners in the outdoor race did not slow him down.

Two hundred and fifty meters...Two hundred and seventy meters...Two hundred and ninety meters...

On the second corner, the competition has entered the most intense stage.

In the 400m race, the 250m is the dividing point between the top 400m athletes and the ordinary 400m athletes.

Because most of the men’s 100m and men’s 200m athletes may be faster in the first half than the 400m athletes, the first 100m, the second 200m, 400m athletes can’t beat the first two. But once it starts at 250 meters, this is the stage where the 400-meter athletes really exert their strength, and it is also a stage that is different from the previous two sprint events.

The ability to maintain speed is not particularly prominent in the top 100-meter race. It is already very important in the 200-meter race. Entering the 250-meter stage, the athlete basically accumulates physical energy in the first half of the race. At the tipping point, it begins to enter the stage that requires strong speed and endurance to run.

If it is not a special 400-meter athlete, basically when the speed reaches 250 meters, the speed will inevitably fall quickly, the body's lactic acid accumulation, and the ability to support, starting from this distance, there will be serious problems.

At this time, Ye Chin, who was in the first lane, felt that the speed of the players around him had dropped to a certain degree~www.ltnovel.com~The athletes on the second and third lanes were still keeping a certain bend with him. Road advantage, but the fourth Jamaica player Brandon Simpson, Yechin already vaguely feels that the opponent is at a level with him when he is in the corner.

The two were separated several passes. In terms of the number of advances in the curve, Ye Qin had already thrown away the opponent by a distance of one or two meters at this time.

The position of the players on the field, as they got closer and closer to the second corner into the straight, in the Hayward Stadium, many American spectators felt like they had seen a ghost at this time.

Some people even rubbed their eyes and couldn't believe what they were seeing.

In this group of competitions, there are 4 American athletes, two Jamaican athletes, one Grenada athlete, and one Chinese athlete from Asia.

If the American player loses to the Jamaican player who is also black, they can still accept it. Now the Asian player who ran in the first lane has not been thrown away by others at all, and even faintly ran ahead. Many people can't believe it.
