I practiced in the United States

Running ten kilometers in less than forty minutes is not an easy result. According to the "Chinese Athletics Association Mass Track and Field Fitness Technical Level Standards" released by the Chinese Athletics Association on the official website, 16-34 years old can achieve this result, which has reached the mass level two. standard, which also means that the marathon score can basically reach the 304 level, which is a proper master level among amateur runners.

When they were halfway through the journey, the three members of the Nie family were having a hard time following. Although they also exercised on weekdays, they only ran occasionally, and they were still far behind the level of the basketball coach.

But what surprised Ling Zhenyu was that while Li Ang kept following his pace, there was no sign of disorder in his breathing, which meant that he still had some energy left.

Before this, he didn't think much of Li Ang. As a basketball coach, he knew very well the background of those so-called martial arts coaches. It can be said that basically few were born in majors, and most of them became monks halfway. I only had a rough practice before I started teaching students.

This is true for all coaches in the martial arts gym, not to mention that Li Ang is just a student of the martial arts gym.

But Li Ang's current performance did surprise him. Judging from this alone, he must be a very self-disciplined person who works hard on training.

Knowing that Li Ang's strength was more than that, Ling Zhenyu also turned his head and said to the several Nie family players behind him:

"You just run at your own pace. I will take Brother Li to run with me. Judging from the current situation, Brother Li also has a chance to get among the top places in running."

When Nie Yongming heard this, he was also happy. Just looking at Li Ang's condition, he knew that this kid was also quite good at running. Hearing that Ling Zhenyu could give such an evaluation showed that his true level was even higher than he expected. better.

In this case, his own lineage might really have a chance to win the championship. He nodded and said:

"Okay, you two can practice, and the three of us will try not to hold you back."

And Nie Yongjin, who was struggling to hold on later, was completely convinced. At least in running, he was definitely not Li Ang's opponent.

After no longer worrying about the speed of the three people behind him, Ling Zhenyu completely let go. If you really want to talk about it, basketball players are not actually good at long-distance running, because this sport requires physical confrontation, so they also need to strengthen while ensuring their physical strength. own muscle strength.

As for a professional long-distance runner, almost none of them has a lot of muscle mass, and they all have a chopstick-shaped figure.

But now it's just a ten-kilometer run. For someone like him who has been a professional athlete, this distance is not actually considered a long-distance run.

Ling Zhenyu directly adjusted his pace to three minutes and forty-five seconds per kilometer. At this speed, any college student who has taken a physical test in college knows that this is a score that 90% of college students cannot achieve, let alone He could still maintain this speed after running five kilometers.

After one kilometer, Ling Zhenyu gritted his teeth and increased his speed to three minutes and thirty-five seconds per kilometer, which was almost close to his own limit.

The standard for a national third-level athlete in the 10,000 meters is thirty-seven minutes. Three years ago, when he reached this standard, he was as good as a professional athlete. He could even beat the thirty-four minutes of a second-level athlete. But now, his The best score is also difficult to advance to thirty-five minutes.

After a while, listening to Li Ang's still even breathing behind him, he suddenly felt that the word "take" when he just said to take Li Ang for a run was not used appropriately.

"Brother, it's okay. Are you running every day? I don't think it's a big problem for you to become a national second-level athlete in running!"

Li Ang smiled and replied:

"I don't run every day. I usually ride bikes and practice martial arts more."

"Then you are a perfect innate running body! It's a pity that you are relatively old. Otherwise, if you train hard, you have a chance to take the professional route. However, with your current talent, you can actually consider training for a marathon and train for it. You can completely rely on the winnings from running competitions to support yourself.”

Ling Zhenyu was even more surprised when he heard Li Ang say that he had never practiced running much, that is, he came from the United States. If he were in China, he might have been discovered by a sports school when he was a child.

After Li Ang listened to his suggestion, he just smiled and said nothing. In the future, he might really participate in an international-level marathon and break two or something, but that is also for [breaking the limit], this is the point of the competition. He really doesn't like the bonus.

"Okay, looks like you have to practice on your own, I can't even keep up with your speed."

Ling Zhenyu waved his hand, signaling for Li Ang to run ahead.

Li Ang was not polite to him either. After all, training at such a speed was a bit inefficient.

But in order not to be too shocking, Li Ang only adjusted his speed to three minutes per kilometer. This speed seems very ordinary, but if it were faster by ten seconds, it would be Kipchoge's second marathon marathon. Pace up.

Seeing Li Ang's sudden acceleration, Ling Zhenyu originally thought that he had lost speed, but when he looked at his sports watch, he realized that it was not that he was too slow, but that Li Ang was too fast.

I was just saying that it would be no problem for Li Ang to train as a second-level athlete. Now it seems that he is already at the level of a national first-level athlete. If he undergoes professional training, becoming a national athlete is not a dream.

Nie Yongjin panted heavily, looking at the end that was about to be reached. His exhausted body began to surge with energy again, but the next second, a gust of wind passed by him.

"It's strange. Didn't Li Ang and Ling Zhenyu run in front just now? Why did they come from behind?"

After asking this question subconsciously, he finally realized that the three of them seemed to be trapped.

no? Is it possible to lap a five-kilometer track?

After the few people finished their running practice, they were just about to go home and tell their grandpa the good news. Unexpectedly, their third aunt sent them a piece of gossip first.

"Let me tell you, I just heard that they invited a Sanda coach next door. You have to be careful."

Hearing this, although Nie Zhaofeng still looked like an old god, several other people became a little flustered.

"Everyone practices boxing. Why do they hire a Sanda coach?"

"That's right. We all practice different methods. How can we compare?"

"If someone doesn't say that he practices Sanda, how can you prove it? There are many moves from traditional martial arts in Sanda. If you are really not as strong as others, there is nothing you can do."

Although each of them has some confidence in their own boxing skills, this is compared to their peers and also compared to those who also practice Chuanwu.

But Sanda is different. This thing is also called modern Chinese fighting. If it is mixed with the word modern, basically in terms of skills and system, it is a dimensionality reduction attack on traditional martial arts.

They themselves also know very well that even Uncle Zhao Feng, who is the most capable among the people, will most likely not be an opponent of a professional Sanda coach.

But at this point, they can only put all their hopes on Li Ang. As long as the loss in this aspect is not too ugly, then counting the scores in the other two items, they have no chance at all.

When the time came for the day of the event, to be honest, even Li Ang was quite surprised by the scene in their village.

Not only was the event venue large and luxurious, with a song and dance troupe of more than 50 people, a dragon and lion dance team, but also reporters and photographers from local stations. Li Ang estimated that with this set up, there would be no three or four. I definitely can’t do it with 100,000.

However, it can be seen from the Mercedes-Benz S, Lexus 570, BMW 7 Series, Toyota Land Cruiser and other luxury cars in the parking lot that these villagers are not short of money at all.

I heard that many bosses in other places traveled thousands of kilometers just to come back and participate in this event.

Needless to say, the company employees under Li Ang would find it difficult to believe that this is rural China if they had not experienced it firsthand.

This trip to China completely changed some of the stereotypes they had learned about China from traditional American media.

There are clean streets everywhere, and no one lives on the streets. Even at night, you can walk on the streets without worrying about someone suddenly trying to rob you with a gun.

"Boss, if my visa wasn't about to expire, I really wish I could stay here for a longer time. I really love it here."

Li Ang looked at this lively scene with some emotion. Maybe one day, he would like to retire and come back here, but it is not possible now.

This place is friendly to ordinary people, but for him, it is still a bit restrictive.

The first competition of the event was running. Four teams, each with five people, totaled 20 runners on the track.

"A Ming, I heard that the foreign aid you invited this time is from the United States. Is it possible to put in so much effort?"

"No matter what, I'm better than you. Besides, this is my Uncle Zhaofeng's student, so I'm not even closer to you."

Nie Yongming's words are obviously on to something. Although foreign aid is allowed in this event, it is of course best for one's own people to participate. Even if the surname is not Nie, it is best to be related by relatives.

After all, the main purpose of this rule is to show the strength and connections of their lineage.

Therefore, even Ling Zhenyu, who is the basketball coach, is actually their classmate, not a foreign aid hired forcibly.

Seeing that he couldn't be talked to, this guy could only go to find someone else to talk nonsense.

The game officially started, and Li Ang sprinted from the start. He is not afraid of overexposing his strength in the United States, let alone in China.

Anyway, as long as you don't break world records casually, or don't exceed human limits too much, these things don't have such an exaggerated impact.

The speed shown by Li Ang surprised all their relatives and friends.

In their impression, the main force in running should be Ling Zhenyu. Why is this kid rushing to the front?

Of course, it's definitely a good thing that Li Ang has strength, but I'm afraid that if he charges too hard in the front, he won't be able to do it in the back.

In fact, after Li Ang crossed the first kilometer, those who knew a little bit among the onlookers knew that Li Ang was definitely not one of those reckless men who sprinted randomly.

Even the TV station’s cameraman couldn’t help but exclaimed:

"This man is definitely a master. The last time I participated in a track and field competition held in the city, to be honest, I didn't think those runners were as fast as him."

The reporter lady couldn't help but check the referee's time frequently. If this was the case, it would have been just a small piece of news in the country section, and maybe it would really make people popular.

When the race was halfway through, there was no man's land behind Li Ang. When Li Ang was about to reach the finish line, even the few people who fell behind had only run halfway through the race.

"Time, how much time is it?"

A villager who was a physical education teacher in the school asked his son who was counting the time with a stopwatch anxiously.

He had a hunch that Li Ang would finish the race at an astonishingly fast speed this time.

After all, he had invited a student who was a national second-level athlete at the level of a 5,000-meter runner through his old classmate's relationship, but he was already far behind Li Ang.

"13 minutes, just over 13 minutes."

As soon as his son finished speaking, a huge cheer rang out from the crowd not far away, which meant that Li Ang had reached the finish line.

"Oh my god, international level, this is an international-level athlete!"

As a physical education teacher, although he no longer had that strength, he was still very clear about some documents issued by the State Sports General Administration.

No wonder the second-level athlete was left behind by him so much.

After all, the standard for a second-level 5,000-meter athlete is 16 minutes and 10 seconds, while the standard for an international athlete is 13 minutes and 31 seconds. The difference between the two is simply a world of difference.

Holding a glimmer of hope that his son might have remembered the time wrong, he deliberately squeezed over to check the time at the referee's place. It was 13 minutes and 04 seconds, which was even more than 20 seconds faster than the standard for an international athlete.

Wait, this result, "Son, quickly search the national record for 5,000 meters on your phone?"

"Let me see, it's 13 minutes and 25 seconds and 14, which was created by Xia Fengyuan at the 8th National Games in Shanghai in 1997. This national record has been preserved to this day."

"Fuck, Dad, did he break the national record?"

"Fuck, it seems to have really broken it. Even if there is a time error between the hand recorder and the electric meter, it is impossible to be 20 seconds off. This is definitely broken."

"I also personally participated in the measurement of the distance of this road. Although it is not an exact 5 kilometers, the positive and negative difference will not be greater than 20 meters."

No? You have such a level, why don't you go to the Olympics to become famous, but come to our village to participate in the event?

The physical education teacher was confused.

He just witnessed the birth of a brand new national record.

He thought that he had invited a national second-level athlete, which was already very unethical, but he didn't expect to invite an Olympic athlete.

On the other side, the photographer was so excited that he didn't care about the reporter's conversation, and hurriedly asked her to take out her mobile phone, saying that we are going to make a big news this time. (End of this chapter)
