Chapter 144 Wearing Shen Liang Down

"Why are you up so early! Training is about quality, what's the point of just piling up hours like this?"

Shen Liang looked unhappy. Although Lu Wei was not much better than him in terms of 100-meter time, he always regarded Lu Wei as a madman in his heart.

It's incredible how incredible it must be for someone to manage so many projects simultaneously, and each one is basically world-class.

Shen Liang rubbed his eyes and started running with Lu Wei.

At first, Shen Liang saw Lu Wei's speed and thought he was just going to run three kilometers for show. But he didn't expect that Lu Wei would run almost five kilometers without any reaction and would still maintain his pace.

Shen Liang thought to himself, "Is this guy going to have a high-intensity training session followed by a long rest, and then start acting tough when we train together? If that's the case, then it's really inefficient."

However, Shen Liang also felt that he was probably overthinking it. Maybe other people would think that way when they first met Lu Wei, but he knew him too well. He was a physical freak.

There's nothing he can't do, only things you haven't thought of.

After five kilometers, Lu Wei's speed was even faster than before, and Shen Liang was finding it a bit difficult to run.

It wasn't that Shen Liang was physically weak; it was just that Lu Wei could maintain a calm mindset when running alone. Today, with someone running alongside him, he felt like someone was competing against him, which made Lu Wei run with increasing enthusiasm. His usual 3.5-minute kilometer pace had probably decreased by nearly 20 seconds today.

Shen Liang was completely out of sorts. He wasn't a middle- or long-distance runner, and his endurance was only average. Lu Wei's pace for the 1000 meters was approaching 3 minutes per kilometer.

Shen Liang had been slowly left behind. By the time Lu Wei finished the last lap, Shen Liang was panting heavily behind him, his tongue lolling out, looking utterly pathetic.

After 30 minutes, Shen Liang had been wrapped around Lu Wei's arm more than once.

"Are you here to train for long-distance running? You can run so fast!" In Shen Liang's mind, Lu Wei suddenly became even more abnormal.

"Xiao Shen, don't fight Lu Wei head-on. He's just stubborn like that. He won't let anyone be better than him, and he'll be very unhappy if someone is better than him. If you go toe-to-toe with him, he'll probably try to compete with you on many projects from morning till night, and he won't even let you off the hook while you're eating!"

Wang Qiao had a smile on his face as he spoke. Although he sounded like he was making fun of Lu Wei, he actually really liked Lu Wei's personality. He thought Lu Wei was a natural-born athlete.

Athletes should be warriors who have a competitive spirit ingrained in their bodies; only those born with a winner's mentality can achieve success.

Buddhist-like athletes are generally not very big.

"Forget it then. I'm really afraid that if I spend a whole day with him, I'll be too tired to get up the next day. Lu Wei trains too much. He doesn't even run long distances. Why does he have to push himself like this every day?"

Although Shen Liang admired Lu Wei, he still felt that all that physical preparation might not be enough to make use of it.

Wang Qiao frowned slightly upon hearing Shen Liang's words. Young people are still young; they only know how to enjoy the present and don't think about the future at all.

"Well, your current physical fitness should be enough if you consolidate it a bit more. But Lu Wei is different from you guys. He may participate in 5 events at this year's Olympics. Without excellent physical fitness, it will be difficult to achieve good results in competing on multiple fronts."

Shen Liang thought to himself that he had been too sharp-tongued, and that his comment had gotten him roasted.

Lu Wei is definitely someone else's young athlete right now. He participated in 4 events at the World Championships last year, and this year he's adding the 100-meter event. What kind of athlete is he?

Shen Liang wasn't worried that Lu Wei's participation in the 100-meter race would affect his own eligibility to compete; he believed that one must be strong oneself to succeed in such matters.

A country can have a maximum of 3 A-level athletes participating in the Olympics, so if you can't participate in the Olympics, you can only blame your own lack of skills.

Yesterday, Lu Wei beat Shen Liang in the 100-meter practice race, which was expected by everyone. Today's 60-meter practice is to let the two of them find their rhythm in the 60-meter race.

"The 60-meter sprint is mainly to train your explosive power and reaction ability. You don't need to fight tooth and nail during the sprint. Remember the purpose of the training!"

Before training, Wang Qiao reminded the two of them again, and especially reminded Lu Wei that this kid always wanted to prove himself in every competition, which was really a headache.

Starting with the first 60-meter run, Shen Liang initially moved with a powerful, slightly pigeon-toed gait, but after ten meters, his legs became almost invisible.

Lu Wei explained each step very clearly. The technical moves of the 100-meter dash may be a bit difficult for ordinary people, but it was not too difficult for Lu Wei.

I learned most of it just by watching other people compete. With the coach's guidance on the movements, and after trying them a few times, the movements became much smoother.

Shen Liang's early advantage was still very obvious. When he reached the finish line, Wang Qiao stopped him with a stopwatch, which showed a time of 6.65 seconds. It can be seen that his ability is now between 6.6 and 6.7 seconds.

When Lu Wei reached the finish line, he was about 1 meter behind him, so his time was only about 6.8 seconds. It seems that he is still far from the world's advanced level.

The current world record for the 60-meter dash was set by American athlete Maurice Green at the 1998 Madrid Grand Prix with a time of 6.39 seconds.

This result is truly extraordinary. If Lu Wei were to compete against him normally, his opponent would likely establish a lead of about 4 meters in the first 60 meters, and it would be virtually impossible to catch up in the last 40 meters.

Lu Wei was able to remain calm at first, but later his stubbornness returned. He trained with the attitude of fighting Shen Liang to the death. In his view, he had to win every competition.

In the first 10 training sessions, Shen Liang beat Lu Wei, but by the 15th session, Lu Wei had only won once.

At this point, Shen Liang started to back down: "How about we call it a day? I'm a little too tired to run anymore. We've been running non-stop, and forget about explosive power, I'm almost out of stamina..."

Upon hearing Shen Liang's words, Lu Wei's face suddenly darkened: "You've had your fun, but I've only won once. No, I haven't run enough yet. Let's have a drink of water and run dozens more times!"

"Bro, I give up, okay? At this rate, my grave will be overgrown with weeds before the Olympics even start!"

Shen Liang felt that Lu Wei's training volume was too high, and if he continued to train like this, he would probably strain his muscles.

He tried to leave after breaking free from Lu Wei, but Lu Wei was prepared and grabbed his arm, pulling him back to the starting point.

Training with Lu Wei is just too stressful!
