《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 257: The University 7
Advertisement
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.
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.
Normally this would be reasonable considering that Jake always ran 60 km every day and had gained 2 statistic points since the last time he was training his 60 km.
But one must consider that increasing one second per km could be a huge challenge for any top runner, and Jake did much more than that and cut his running time per km by 5 seconds.

Without getting those two statistics points, Jake would probably complete the under 43 km with great difficulty and risk even getting injured, after the New York Marathon his time was much longer than that.
Before New York, he trained running 10 km in 29 minutes and 20 seconds which was 10 seconds slower than he did now, with time taking 4 seconds for 1 km he couldn't stand the pace of the marathon race and got injured.
Of course, a lot of it also had to do with the fact that Jake was having a little psychological problem at the time, yet it was a time that was hardening Jake's muscles at the time.
But 1 year after that he had achieved several Resistance and agility points and was trying a faster time than this in the marathon, in today's race he made a time of just under 2 hours and 3 minutes at 42 km.
With that time Jake could break the world record in many world competitions, only after 20 years would anyone be able to run below that time, in another 20 years Jake would probably approach 70 in statistics and would have run below 2 hours long.
Jake felt that he could shorten his running time even further, so he decided to further shorten his running time the next day, Jake wanted to find out what his running speed limit was in training.
That's because Jake needed to decrease daily running training time and be more productive, Jake spent more than 4 hours on his training before running the 60km every day and with warm-up exercises.
Aside from being a long, hard training that tired him both physically and mentally, after all, Jake still had training with the basketball team and classes every day, so at university, he couldn't go on like this.
After all, his training with the basketball team was very intense now and Jake still had classes and wanted to spend some time with his friends, a useless training of more than 4 hours was not acceptable to Jake now.
Before the Olympics, Jake was still unsure of his performance and so did this safety training, but now Jake was even better than a few months ago when he won the gold medal and also had more confidence.
By decreasing the running time and increasing the speed he could do more necessary training and also decrease the daily time he spent running, he could finish in less than 3 hours all his training.
In addition, Jake had already stopped doing his personal bodybuilding training, so he would spend just over 5 hours training with the basketball team training, which was an acceptable time for Jake at the moment.
Jake would have to do his marathon training every morning in the morning to have more time in the day, with his stronger body thanks to the system he could sleep a few hours a day and get enough rest.
So Jake would wake up shortly after 4 am to run and after training takes a shower and change his clothes to go to the morning classes, then later he would do the training with the basketball team and go back to the dorm to talk with his friends and dinner.
With this routine Jake could enjoy the whole day and still rest as long as he had classes at university before training the basketball team, he found that it was good to have this rest, but could not do with his schedule before.
In-game days with the basketball team Jake would not do his running training, after all, sometimes the games would be in other states or cities, and also he could rest more for the games.
The other day Jake came back in the morning to do the training, he would try to take another 1 second for 1 km and so would run in 2 minutes and 54 seconds for 1 km, in 10 km he could take 1 minute of his time at the Olympics.
So he would take 4 minutes and 12 seconds out of the 42km marathon and finish in just over 2 hours, 2 minutes and 20 seconds, it would be harder for him to achieve, but if he could, he could keep up for a few more years until getting more Resistance and agility stat points.
So Jake began training, in the first 20 km he ran without tiring almost the same as the day before, but after 30 km he began to feel the tiredness that his slightly faster speed caused.
After completing the 43 km Jake was feeling much more tired than the day before and had to work harder to continue when he completed the 50 km Jake was breathless and very tired as he did not feel for a long time.
So Jake finally figured out what his running speed limit was, he felt he couldn't run faster than that and still make sure he completed the race or worse could get injured.

I had many ideas I want to write about for a long time but never wrote the out. I started reading JPN LN then got into all the Chinese LN so was influence by both types. I already read a few ln about being a dungeon/dungeon master and really enjoy and one day suddenly had an idea. What if a cultivator was to become a dungeon? A lot of these dungeon ln all have someone with modern world experience become the dungeon so they all have this advantage of games but what if someone who is straight out of a xianxia novel instead? Someone who has no idea how a more medieval fantasy world works and have no idea what a dungeon even is. This give me a lot of fun things to write about and finally decide to try writing it share it with you all! I hope you all enjoy it and please leave comments/review telling me how I can improve.
