Chapter 257 The University 7 (1/2)
After spending two weeks at university Jake finally decided to return to marathon running training, he had already completely adapted to the new university routine and the mood with the basketball team was very good.
By that day Jake would be changing the way he normally trained, his system-strengthened body could be saying that Jake had a huge advantage over other athletes, his physical statistics being distributed to every muscle in his body.
So Jake didn't need to do any specific weight training, while his statistics improved he would be better than others who spend hours at the gym doing various types of training.
For long-distance races such as the marathon, Jake has always used Agility and Resistance statistics more often, but in short distances, he would need more agility and strength statistics.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
After all, strength was what would generate the initial momentum when he competed in the 100 meters, for example, of course, all statistics were important for a race, but some were more important than others.
Also, the more strength the muscles usually have the athlete loses flexibility and elasticity of the muscles to make the movements easier, this was a problem that Jake would never have, so he could compete for both short and long-distance
.
The problem for Jake was that sprinting required a lot more technique than sprinting, so Jake wasn't so confident of achieving it in a few years.
With a coach, Jake could improve his technique, but he would not have much time to devote to training, so Jake could count on competing in these short distance competitions in another 8 years, not the next Olympics.
In eight years, Jake would have had time to learn how to master general racing-related athletics, by which time he too would probably have accomplished a lot in the NBA and the business world.
At that time Jake could spend a lot more time thinking about the medals, of course, that's just the most optimistic scenario Jake had for the future, yet he thought that with much training was a viable goal.
Jake's current training would be pretty much the same, the difference being that he wouldn't run 60 km a day anymore, but would only run 45 km a day, but with a faster running time when he got used to the new riding time race, he could increase the overall speed.
Jake knew he could because he had run at a close time last year before the New York Marathon and now he has had 3 points more stamina and agility since that time, so Jake had a lot more confidence.
Jake no longer had to run 60km because his body's physical fitness through the system had already registered his peak state, so unless he got injured he didn't need to redo that training.
The reason Jake continued with this training was to increase Resistance and Stamina, but after increasing so much and continuing to increase when he gained more stat points would become temporarily useless training.
So better if he tried to improve his running time, Jake preferred to rent an athletic field from a gym that was unused for his university training.
When he was in high school as the Elite school did not have a good athletic team the athletic field was little used and few knew that Jake was a marathon runner at the time he was training.
So few people tried to bother Jake in his training, but after winning the Olympics and at the UNC who had a strong track and field team he didn't want to risk training at the UNC track and field.
In the first 10 km of running Jake felt no problem increasing his running speed at a faster pace, he made that 10 km in 50 seconds less than normal, which gave 5 seconds per km less running time.
When Jake reached the 30km race he was surprised to feel that he was not tired yet, he was surprised to realize that these 2 stat points he earned in Resistance and agility greatly improved his race.
It was the first time he had run after winning the gold medal in the Olympics, and it had been almost a year since he had been trying to train at a faster running speed, yet he was surprised how easy it was.
Jake continued his run and easily passed the 45 km, Jake was much more tired now, but he knew he could keep running, so Jake decided to complete the 50 km as he used to train so he wouldn't lose his running pace.
When he finished the 50 km he felt much more tired, Jake felt that he could continue running, but would not finish the 60 km as he did before, yet he was surprised at how easily he ran that speed.
