After Leaving the Sports Circle, I Became a Cooking God (Completed BL)

Chapter 197-198

Regarding the rhythm of the 400 meters, Hou Mingye hasn't fully grasped it yet. As a result, he has adopted a strategy of maintaining a relatively steady speed to compensate for the lack of a clear pacing plan.

In some ways, Hou Mingye's approach is reminiscent of Qiu Wen's style. However, there is a key difference between them. While Qiu Wen lacked control over his pacing and simply relied on his speed and endurance, which resulted in significant variations in his speed throughout the 400 meters, Hou Mingye has a better sense of rhythm. He's using his control over pacing to maintain a more consistent and even speed across all four segments of the race.

To be honest, watching Hou Mingye run, there's a bit of a rhythm reminiscent of the pace in the previous match between Li Junhao and Anderson. Of course, Hou Mingye's overall rhythm and Li Junhao's are quite different, but the feeling they give is that of a calm and somewhat plain rhythm.

When the coaches watched Hou Mingye run, many of them felt anxious for him, thinking, "Why are you running so leisurely? Can't you run faster? You need to explode on the straight track! Accelerate! What are you doing?"

However, Hou Mingye didn't run with the same mindset as the coaches had in mind. Instead, he continued with a very calm and steady pace.

Despite this running style, many people assumed that Hou Mingye's performance wouldn't be exceptional. However, when he reached the finish line, his time was an impressive 47.33 seconds.

This was a time that firmly placed him in the category of elite athletes!

On the opposite side of the track, the aspiring athletes participating in the test were left in disbelief when they saw this result.

"Wow! 47.33 seconds!! Hou-ge is so steady..." Sitting in the audience section, Wu Tian looked at Hou Mingye's result on the track, utterly amazed.

All the athletes present had been personally selected by Su Bai. In terms of talent, there probably wasn't much difference between them. However, various factors led to differences in their performances in today's test.

"I was just too nervous during the test..."

"If I had a stronger acceleration rhythm on the first straight section, my performance would definitely have been better!"

"When you're running on the track all by yourself, with no sound around, it's really hard to have confidence in your acceleration rhythm. It feels even more challenging than running on the outer lane during a race. At least in the outer lane, you can still hear the cheers from the audience, which follows a certain pattern and makes it easier to run..."

The trial participants chatted in groups of two or three, with those who had already completed their tests regretting their performances. Except for a few standout athletes like Zhang Jiale and Wu Tian, most of the others couldn't help but feel a bit unsettled.

After Hou Mingye's performance, the last athlete in the fourth group, Jing Feibai, also impressed the coaches on the scene.

Jing Feibai, originally a 100-meter sprinter, showcased exceptional abilities in the 400-meter test. He had a strong initial burst of speed, and during the latter part of the race, he managed to increase his stride length. His ability to transition between different paces, master the techniques for curves, and allocate his energy was surprisingly mature.

"Hmm, did Jing Feibai train for the 400 meters before?" Pei Jin'an, looking in the direction of the audience section, found Jing Feibai's performance astonishing and impressive.

Su Bai shook his head and said, "No, he learned the curve techniques while training for the 200 meters, but it was only for a short period. Eventually, he chose to focus on the 100-meter sprint."
