Why race if you don’t have money?

Chapter 61 The driver can't beat the queen

"To the north, physical training is mainly divided into three aspects: strength, endurance and reaction."

"You've trained your shoulder and neck muscles before, so you should be familiar with strength training. Today, I'll focus on endurance and reaction training."

Lu Xiaoman held a sketchpad in her hand, on which was written the training plan prepared in advance, as well as the physical data of Chen Xiangbei during the training.

However, in order to assist in training, Lu Xiaoman specially changed into an extremely cool fitness outfit, showing off her slim and plump figure to the fullest, making Chen Xiangbei a little unsure where to look.

She didn't notice Chen Xiangbei's wandering gaze at all, and continued seriously, "Endurance training mainly focuses on cardiopulmonary endurance. The rapid dehydration during Formula One races and the prolonged high heart rate state both require extremely strong cardiopulmonary support."

"Otherwise, you are very likely to faint or die while driving."

Lu Xiaoman's words are not alarmist. Due to the high G-force pressure of the car, coupled with the high concentration and tension, the average heart rate of F1 drivers in the race is over 160 beats per minute.

During the start or heavy braking phase of overtaking, the heart rate will exceed 190 beats per minute.

You should know that the average normal heart rate for an adult male is only around 80 beats. If it remains at 160 beats for a long time, it is equivalent to tachycardia and the patient needs to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

For this reason, cardiorespiratory endurance training plays a large role in the fitness plan of Formula One drivers.

So much so that some F1 drivers can achieve good results in other sports events while practicing.

For example, F1 world champion Button would participate in triathlons during his off-season. The Finnish driver Bottas, who is familiar to Chinese people in later generations, is a professional cyclist.

"I see."

Chen Xiangbei nodded. These were the trainings he had experienced in his previous life, so he naturally understood their importance.

"Not bad, really good~~"

Lu Xiaoman smiled and praised Chen Xiangbei for his active cooperation, and even reached out and pinched his cheek.

This action made Chen Xiangbei a little confused. After a pause, he replied, "Sister Xiaoman, you don't mistake me for one of those ten-year-old karting trainees from the previous base, do you?"

"It seems so, but you're not that much older."

Lu Xiaoman replied nonchalantly. In the past, the majority of students at the racing base were karting drivers in their teens, which made her accustomed to this kind of encouraging training and teaching.

"I'm already eighteen, thank you!"

"Really? Then let me take a closer look."

As Lu Xiaoman spoke, she closed the distance between herself and Chen Xiangbei.

As the two got closer, a faint fragrance wafted into their noses.

In his previous life, Chen Xiangbei took the route of upgrading from a standard kart to a Formula One driver. It can be said that he spent his entire teenage years in driver training camps.

In most cases in motorsport, there is no competitive space for female drivers unless one deliberately maintains political correctness.

This resulted in Chen Xiangbei not being able to see any women or even sows for a long time. He had never experienced such a situation before.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Chen Xiangbei finally gave in and looked away, but what he saw when he looked down was a large, white picture.

Even though Chen Xiangbei had a will of steel, he was still in his teens and couldn't suppress the blood rushing up, and the backs of his ears turned slightly red.

Damn, the student really can’t beat the mature woman!

Seeing Chen Xiangbei's slightly embarrassed expression, Lu Xiaoman showed a look of success on her face. She took a step back and said with a smile: "Hehe, what a shy little guy~~"

"No, can we be more professional and train properly?"

Chen Xiangbei stressed helplessly, "No wonder the world of drivers doesn't need women. If you were surrounded by mature and charming women like Lu Xiaoman, it would not only affect your driving speed..."

"Why are you in such a hurry? We still haven't covered the reaction training content yet."

"Also, you had a high-intensity training session today. You need to give your body time to relax and recover, otherwise it's easy to get injured."

Flirting aside, Lu Xiaoman still knew the priorities when it came to her job. She joked with Chen Xiangbei when she had some free time, but today she was more focused on explaining the training programs and formulating a preliminary training plan.

A driver's physical fitness depends on self-discipline and persistence, and is never something that can be rushed.

After saying that, Lu Xiaoman took out two tennis balls from her pocket and asked.

"Xiangbei, will there be catching practice?" "Yes."

Chen Xiangbei nodded. This was the reaction training project he had played the most.

"Well, let's try and see if you have..."

Before Lu Xiaoman finished her words, she suddenly loosened her right hand and let the tennis ball fall.

Almost at the same time, Chen Xiangbei reached out and caught the tennis ball like lightning. The entire falling distance of the tennis ball was no more than 30 centimeters.

"Sure, that's a quick response."

Lu Xiaoman's tone was very surprised.

Although youth gives one a great advantage in reaction speed, one lets go when the opponent is completely unprepared.

The fact that Chen Xiangbei was able to catch it meant that his basic reaction speed was already comparable to that of an ordinary karting driver who was fully focused.

"Okay."

Chen Xiangbei's reaction was very calm. This was a basic operation for him.

"Good, give me the ball."

Lu Xiaoman praised him, and the moment Chen Xiangbei handed the tennis ball over, she loosened her left hand without warning and started a "surprise attack" again.

However, Lu Xiaoman underestimated Chen Xiangbei's concentration. This time, his receiving speed was even faster, and the entire falling distance of the tennis ball was at most twenty centimeters.

Seeing this scene, Lu Xiaoman was really shocked. Chen Xiangbei's reaction time just now probably reached the limit of human nerve conduction, 0.1 seconds.

No wonder Mr. Zhang insisted on maintaining the operation of the racing base despite the pressure of the bankruptcy of Huasai Sports, and brought the "over-age" driver Chen Xiangbei back for training. Indeed, his racing talent is incredibly high.

"Xiangbei, do you practice often?"

"Occasionally."

"You practiced this before you became a professional?"

Anything that reaches the level of training will inevitably become boring and difficult to persist in the process of repeated repetition.

In Lu Xiaoman's eyes, it was extremely rare for Chen Xiangbei to do shoulder and neck training in advance to prepare for his career. Could it be that he even did not miss the reaction training?

"Well... I've been running around on the streets before, and I also have a need for operational response."

There was no way. Chen Xiangbei couldn't explain his career experience and could only rely on being a street racer.

street?

Hearing this word reminded Lu Xiaoman of an explosive piece of news that was circulating wildly in the underground circles of East China Sea.

Last night, Changmao from the Donghai SRT team and Sun Tao from the Jinling team lost to an Impreza STI on the Central Elevated Road.

The opponent's car was very fast and was left behind after running less than three kilometers, and its taillights were no longer visible.

It is said that the driver of the Impreza STI looks very young and a bit like Edison Chen.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoman couldn't help but look at Chen Xiangbei's face carefully. They really looked a bit similar!

"Xiangbei, did you outperform a BMW M3 and a Ford Cobra last night?"

"Ah."

"The problem is, the one in the parking lot is a regular Impreza."

Lu Xiaoman asked back. She didn't think of Chen Xiangbei before because the car model didn't match.

"Uncle Liang modified the exterior and removed the WRX STI logo."

After receiving Chen Xiangbei's confirmation, Lu Xiaoman's face first showed surprise, and then she said in an excited tone: "Wow, it really is you."

"Xiangbei, do you know that the entire underground community in East China Sea is discussing this matter right now, and they're calling you the Subaru God!"
