Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 73 Training Results (rd Update)

Kitahara had not considered the series of training methods, or equipment and systems mentioned by Kyoko Miyamura.

But all these things had just flashed through his mind before, and he had never thought about them seriously.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand.

When he was running the club in the past, he and his friends often tried to attend some public exchanges or dinners held by top camps for the development of the horse farm and the club. They also participated in world-class equestrian exchanges and banquets.

Although his status at that time only allowed him to stay in the corner in these occasions, he had a good understanding of many advanced and top systems.

The reason why he hadn't thought about it seriously was simple.

expensive.

These systems are very, very, extremely expensive.

Especially in this age of lagging timelines.

Take "wind tunnel training" for example. In another world, a set of wind tunnel equipment for professional athletes would cost millions of yen if they wanted to have more comprehensive functions. That's the price when the technology is mature and commercialization has reached a certain level.

In today's Japan, "wind tunnel training" has not yet become popular. The only places that have this kind of equipment are various universities and research institutes. The equipment in such places starts at tens of millions of yen. It is almost impossible to get one of such equipment now.

As for gravity chamber training, biokinematics simulation modeling, and OmegaWave, they are only more expensive than wind tunnel equipment, and it’s not even a question of whether they are expensive or not.

For example, the gravity cabin is currently only available in the aerospace field in Japan.

I had never seen simulation modeling and OmegaWave when I was looking for information before. Either they have not been developed yet, or they are still confidential because they are cutting-edge technologies.

Under various restrictions, Kitahara used to instinctively feel that there was no need to consider those means.

But when Kyoko Miyamura brought up the matter, he thought about it seriously and felt that it was not completely out of the question.

Wind tunnel equipment and the like are too expensive so we can put it off for now, but "parachute sprint training" is something you can consider now.

As the name suggests, this type of training involves tying a parachute on your body and using wind resistance to increase training intensity.

This sounds similar to dragging heavy objects. In fact, parachute sprints train sprint explosive power, while dragging trains cruising endurance. The two are completely different.

When dragging a heavy object, you are resisting the friction between the heavy object and the ground. As long as the heavy object is still there, you need long-term and stable force to counteract it.

The resistance of parachute training comes from the air. The faster the sprint, the greater the resistance generated. This means that the size of the resistance can be controlled to effectively increase explosive power and improve sprint level.

In fact, wind tunnel training is like an advanced version of parachute sprint training. Professional equipment can control wind force and direction, that is, resistance, more finely. The standing board can also simulate different ground surfaces and provide better balance training, which enables targeted training.

So, we can start with parachute training. It just so happens that Oguruma's weight-bearing equipment has a matching hook lock, which can be used not only for dragging practice, but also for wind resistance practice.

As for wind tunnel training, or more expensive training methods...

Ogurimo happens to have a few endorsements that have not been discussed yet. The endorsement fees for these local companies in Kasamatsu are not high. The stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets mentioned by Kyoko should only be considered a small collaboration, but it is a direction.

Kitahara realized that as he improved in all aspects, he would have more and more resources.

He is not a person who pursues material enjoyment, so all those resources can be used to improve the training and living conditions of the racehorse girls.

Therefore, it is necessary to plan resources well from now on.

So after talking with Kyoko Miyamura about the future direction of training, Kitahara spent more time thinking about planning issues.

In addition, he ordered a professional parachute the next day, and the one who accepted this commission was still the New Glory Family.

That day, after training, "Very good! With a 40kg load, I ran 800 meters on the mud in 56.1 seconds!"

Kitahara excitedly read the numbers on the stopwatch and shouted to Oguruma, who was walking slowly on the track to recover her breath, "Oguruma, you've become stronger again!"

Oguruma's weight training has been going on for a while, but the weight has not increased and remains at 40 kilograms.

Kitahara and Miyamura Kyoko have already tested it and found that this number is the most suitable weight for Oguruma at the moment. If you want to increase the weight, you have to wait until she is fully adapted.

In the first mock race after entering school, Oguruma's score for the 800-meter mud track was 51.1. Now it is 56.1, a difference of 5 seconds, which shows that she has not yet fully adapted to the weight and still needs training.

There is no rush for this. It has only been a few days since she started carrying the weight. At the beginning, her 800-meter result exceeded 60 seconds. Being able to get under 60 seconds in such a short time is already an extremely outstanding performance.

When Oguruma came to the edge of the training ground, Kitahara raised his voice to another horse girl on the track:
"Little Bay, you can rest now! That's all for today!"

Xiaowan’s foot inflammation has healed, and she has also joined training. The difference from Oguruma is that she is currently undergoing “rehabilitation training.”

According to Kyoko Miyamura's test results, the data of Xiaowan's feet are obviously lower than those of Oguri. In this case, he cannot participate in the competition without strengthening them to a certain level, as the risk is too great.

But apart from her feet, the rest of her physical condition is very healthy.

Especially in terms of the respiratory system, Little Bay's data in this regard is slightly better than that of Little Chestnut.

After a moment’s hesitation, the little bay who was doing a “recovery jog” on the track finally stopped.

She walked over hesitantly, without any sign of breathing.

Pinching her collar, she hesitated and said, "Well, Mr. Kitahara, I think I can still run for a while..."

Kitahara knew that the child was getting anxious again.

When she first came to Kasamatsu, Xiao Haiwan was a little impatient to be trained. After being taught by Kitahara to be "patient", she was very well behaved for a while.

But after she started training with Oguruma, she could no longer suppress her competitive spirit and would secretly train harder from time to time, obviously realizing that her level was much lower.

If Kitahara hadn't anticipated this and kept a close eye on her, she would probably have suffered from lack of sleep or something due to her secret training.

"It's all right. Just follow my plan. Trust me."

Kitahara didn't say that progress is not something that happens overnight, and that Oguruma has participated in many competitions and you don't need to compare with her.

He knew that Xiao Haiwan understood all this very well, it was just that her character had not yet been well-trained.

In this case, the best approach is not to explain, but to directly divert the other person's attention.

"You two have been training very hard recently. Of course, Kouki and Kyoko have also been busy for a long time."

Kitahara said this with a smile, and looked at Shin Shin-Ki and Miyamura Kyoko, who were each holding a laptop beside them.

Kyoko Miyamura is used to taking notes on a laptop, and she has purchased some medical training equipment, such as a heart rate monitor. Oguruma and Kobayashi now carry various equipment with them during training.

Influenced by her, Xinxin Guanghui also changed the habit of taking notes in a small notebook to using a laptop computer, and records everything every day.

"Tomorrow happens to be the weekend, so let's take a break, go shopping, watch a movie, or something."

"Oh, by the way, Guanghui, is Ms. Xiaonan free tomorrow? If it's convenient, can you ask her to come to Kasamatsu? I have something very important to discuss with her."
