"Coach He, Su Feng, you have worked hard all the way, come on, come on, get in the car first, we have prepared the dormitory for you, put down your things first and then have a meal. We are in a plateau area, whether it is athletes or ordinary people,
You may not get used to it when you first come, but it will get better as time goes by. But athletes should adapt faster."
Kunming, Yunnan, Changshui International Airport.
When Su Feng and his group of about ten people got off the plane, they were greeted by a leader from the Kunming Sports Bureau and the director of the Chenggong Sports Training Base who arrived in advance and boarded a minibus.
Being able to come here so quickly is because Su Feng is so proud. You know, the Chenggong training base has just been rebuilt, and Su Feng is the first batch of athletes to move in.
As for why I came here, firstly, because there are few people, I really don’t have the conditions to fully concentrate on training in the capital, and the training base is not easy either.
The second is outside the base. In this regard, Su Feng is similar to Liu Yuxiang in his previous life. Liu Yuxiang is a native of Shanghai and Hainan, while Su Feng is a native of Beijing.
The two of them are now considered business cards of the city and the leader's face. As their grades get better and better, there are more and more occasions where they are required to attend. It is difficult to refuse, so they don't go to a place far away from the capital.
Su Feng couldn't concentrate.
The third is the most important reason, and that is the role of altitude training in improving athletes’ performance!
Plateau refers to an area with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters and a relative height of more than 500 meters. The so-called high altitudes are extremely cold, have low air pressure and low oxygen content, which is a challenge to human survival and life.
Most people coming from plain areas will suffer from "altitude sickness", such as headaches, insomnia, fatigue, difficulty breathing, etc., because the plateau geographical environment will cause a series of abnormal changes in many physiological indicators of the human body such as cardiopulmonary function.
But just like a coin has two sides, if there are disadvantages, there will naturally be advantages.
Across the world, people living on plateaus generally have better endurance than people living on plains.
According to some studies in the world, training in plateau climate conditions can enhance athletes' body adaptability to hypoxia, endurance and cardiopulmonary function.
Therefore, plateau has become one of the good choices for physical training.
Sprinting, long-distance running, swimming, etc. can all improve their performance during training in a plateau environment.
This is especially important for athletes like Su Feng who have reached the peak of their strength.
The Chenggong training base is the most suitable place that He Jun found after Su Feng requested it.
The Chenggong base is located in Kunming, Yunnan, a colorful Yunnan province with an excellent natural environment and a low-latitude plateau. The unique geographical climate gives Yunnan unique plateau sports training resources.
Many national-level teams will conduct winter training and spring training in Yunnan.
The Kunming Chenggong Training Base at an altitude of 1,900 meters is even more impressive.
The predecessor of this time-honored training base was founded in August 1959 and belonged to the Yunnan National Defense Sports Association Motorcycle and Shooting Federation.
In 1994, through expansion and reconstruction, it was officially renamed Chenggong Sports Training Base of Yin Province.
Later, after many reconstructions, it formed the current scale of Chenggong Base.
The base itself is affiliated to Kunming, with good environment and convenient transportation. It has first-class or even top-level training venues and facilities such as track and field, cycling, swimming, football, etc., and has cultivated hundreds of international-level athletes, as well as national-level athletes to name a few.
It’s called the “Take-Off Point of Champions”.
And now it has just been renovated. If it weren't for Su Feng's face and the National Sports Administration directly saying hello, they might not have been able to get in so early.
As for Su Bingtian, he was also in Su Feng's favor, and Su Feng specially asked him to come.
Anyone who has watched Su Bingtian compete in later generations knows that in the first 30 meters, even if Su Bingtian was not afraid of Powell and others, he could still maintain the world's top level in the first 60 meters.
However, even in the Tokyo Olympics semi-finals where he performed best, with a time of 9.83 seconds, he was still overtaken by competitors from the United States, Italy and other countries after 60 meters, and the final victory was very dangerous.
After sixty meters, it was obvious that Su Bingtian could no longer maintain his speed.
This is also a common problem among Asians, especially Asian athletes with high cadence and small figures, that is, they have poor speed endurance and will fall rapidly if they cannot maintain the top speed for a long time.
This can be said to be Su Pingtian's biggest weakness in sprinting.
But now that Su Bingcai is sixteen years old, it is just the time for his body to grow. It is really the best time to come here to train at this time.
As long as he can train scientifically and effectively, and his body is still growing, I believe Su Bingtian will definitely be able to gain stronger physical and speed endurance than in his previous life.
The administrative level of the Chenggong training base is not low, and it is also a big name. However, when Su Feng was coming, even without a greeting from the general administration, they were extremely excited about it and almost rushed to welcome him.
After all, Su Feng and Liu Yuxiang are the most popular athletes in China. No one can compare with them except Dayao.
And the world sprint champion! Even the Chenggong training base has never hosted one in its decades of history, so naturally everyone from top to bottom attaches great importance to this.
Furthermore, no matter how famous the base is, it has never broken through the sports circle. There are still only a few people who know about it. If Su Feng trains here and achieves good results, the reputation of Chenggong Base can even directly rise to the level that everyone knows.
the point.
This has little impact on the base itself, but it will be greatly beneficial to the publicity of Kunming and Yunnan. Therefore, the city and even the province attach great importance to this. This is a good opportunity to promote Yunnan and Kunming, and even they
There is a plan to make Su Feng a tourism ambassador.
With so many factors combined, Chenggong Base will naturally do its best to help Su Feng train.
The best housing and the best chefs have been prepared, all that's left is Su Feng.
After arriving at the base, even Su Feng was shocked by the facilities and scenery here.
The facilities are almost the same as those in Beijing.
The scenery is really as beautiful as a picture scroll.
Training here will probably make you feel a little better.
Soon, the accommodation for more than a dozen people was arranged, and then it was time to eat. Several local leaders attended the meal, which was regarded as a simple welcome ceremony.
Because Su Feng came here in secret, just to avoid trouble, there was no big publicity, and the publicity had to be after Su Feng left.
Then Su Feng and others stayed here.
It's already early November, and Su Feng's plan is to train here for at least 5 months.
It started very smoothly. By the time of the Chinese New Year on February 9th, Su Feng and Su Bingtian were almost focused on systematic training.
But on February 15, when Su Feng was returning to Kunming from the capital to celebrate the New Year, he was stopped by people from the General Administration.
He Jun was directly summoned by Li Wei, director of the field management center, and came back two hours later.
"Moscow World Championships?"
"Didn't we decide not to go?" Su Feng looked at He Jun strangely and asked. The World Indoor Championships is a second-level event of the IAAF, and its status among athletes is not high. Some famous athletes do not know how to go.
Attendance is the norm among athletes.
"Alas," He Jun sighed, "Normally, I shouldn't disrupt your training, but this time, even if you are included in the World Championships, there are only 12 qualified people to participate. You are the only one who can definitely win the prize.
And Liu Yuxiang, what do you want to do?
According to the Farm Management Center, if there is an accident, it will be just a duck egg. How to explain to the country at that time? Not only will it be impossible to explain to the superiors, but it will also be impossible to explain to the people.
In the past, it was easy to say that track and field events were not popular in China at all, but it is different now. With so many people watching, if you and Liu Yuxiang do not participate, and the national team achieves nothing, then the pressure will be great." He Jun was a little helpless.
said.
However, although he was helpless, he did not complain in his heart. Instead, he was a little proud. After all, only his apprentice Su Feng and Coach Sun's apprentice Liu Yuxiang were sure of winning medals in such a competition.
"Okay." Su Feng nodded. Not only him, he believed that Liu Yuxiang would also agree to this kind of thing.
