You've already received a first-class merit award, why are you pretending to be a new recruit a

Liu Hai crossed out the words "finished running" and wrote a new line next to them.

Don't fall behind.

The characters were written crookedly, and the last character, "队" (team), was outside the grid.

Chen Jingxing leaned closer to take a look.

"Brother, your handwriting has a training ground style, it really shows you're writing while running."

She tilted her head back, looking a little embarrassed.

Li Lei closed the notebook.

"As long as you can understand it, that's fine."

Chen Jingxing turned his head.

"Li Lei, you're starting to sound more and more like a class monitor now."

Wang Dashan's loud voice boomed in from the doorway.

"Then you're starting to sound more and more like a veteran when you get scolded."

Chen Jingxing immediately stood up straight.

"Reporting, squad leader, I'm still too inexperienced."

"Stop talking nonsense and come downstairs to gather."

One class carried their equipment on their backs and brought it to the playground.

Lei Zhan was already standing in front of the team, holding a training registration folder in his hand.

The class leaders lined up on the side.

Chen Fei from Class 2 was holding a board, while Zhao Hai from Class 3 was holding a stopwatch.

Lei Zhan swept across the entire company.

"Today, a three-kilometer tempo run."

Among the new recruits, some breathed a sigh of relief.

Three kilometers is always shorter than five kilometers.

Lei Zhan's next words completely suppressed his anger.

"Don't get too excited. Today, we're not going to see who charges the fastest at the start, but who stays steady throughout."

He raised his hand and pointed towards the track.

"Before the 5km run, find out your pace. Record it at the first kilometer, the second kilometer, and the finish line."

"Anyone who runs the first kilometer like a 100-meter sprint and then the rest like a stroll should do an extra set of training."

Chen Jingxing lowered his voice.

"Squad leader, that sounds like you're specifically insulting me."

Wang Dashan didn't even turn his head.

"You're quite shrewd."

Several students in Class 1 were trying to suppress their laughter.

Lei Zhan continued to make arrangements.

"Each class starts separately, with the class leader running alongside. If the class formation breaks down by more than five meters, it will be recorded as one instance. If someone falls behind, it will be recorded as one instance. If someone sprints without authorization and disrupts the formation, it will be recorded as one instance."

He paused for half a second.

"Running isn't just about sprinting forward. Breathing, stride frequency, and formation are all skills."

Xiao Longteng stood in the middle of the line, pressed his finger on his belt buckle, and didn't say anything.

Wang Dashan turned around and looked at Class 1.

"Did you hear that? Today, instead of striving for first place, let's first figure out how to run properly."

Chen Jingxing immediately responded.

"Report, understood."

Wang Dashan glared at him.

"What you understand is the least valuable thing."

"Then I'll try to understand it again."

"Shut up."

On the other side, Chen Fei led Class Two to the outer lane.

Sun Ming stood at the front of the line, stretched his ankles a couple of times, and looked a little relaxed.

Chen Fei tucked the training board under his arm.

"Follow last night's plan. Lift the pace slightly for the first kilometer, but don't let it fly. I won't help anyone who crashes themselves."

Sun Ming whispered a reply.

"Class monitor, I have experience in showing a relaxed demeanor."

"You deserve to be taught a lesson."

A few people from Class Two chuckled softly.

Chen Fei raised his hand.

"Laughing is fine, but don't let your legs go weak."

Whistle sound.

Class Two goes first.

Sun Ming took the lead and started walking very quickly.

For the first 200 meters, Class 2 maintained a tight formation and their footsteps were synchronized.

The outside track looked smoother than usual after the lap.

As Sun Ming passed by the side of the bus, he couldn't hold back his sobs.

"Hey guys, don't fall asleep!"

Chen Fei immediately pressed him down.

"Sun Ming, get going!"

The instruction was given, and the message was conveyed.

Chen Jingxing's feet moved half a beat faster on the spot.

Li Lei added a little something.

Liu Hai was running at the same pace he had in the morning when he heard the commotion next to him. He raised his shoulders and grabbed the backpack strap.

Wang Dashan followed along the side of the group, but did not immediately start cursing.

He looked at Xiao Longteng.

Xiao Longteng did not speak.

The first 400 meters of the class were not chaotic, but the rhythm had already been swayed.

Chen Jingxing had a great time running ahead, and the more he ran, the more he wanted to catch up with Class Two.

Li Lei sensed something was wrong and tried to press down, but the distance between them had already been widened.

The bangs were the first thing to cause problems.

His inhalation became shorter and shorter, and his exhalation was incomplete, causing his feet to shatter more and more as he chased after the air.

Six hundred meters later, a gap appeared at the back of the line.

Liu Hai's throat tightened with anxiety.

"Brother Xiao... I can't keep up."

Xiao Longteng was still half a step behind him.

"Run first."

Liu Hai gritted his teeth and tried to chase after him. He took a big step, his backpack fell backward, and his body swayed.

Wang Dashan still didn't call a halt, but just shouted something to the front.

"Class One, continue!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jingxing became even more anxious.

He tried to turn back, but Wang Dashan immediately scolded him.

"Chen Jingxing, look ahead! Is your neck just for decoration?"

Chen Jingxing forced his head back.

The second shift crossed the line at the first kilometer mark.

Sun Ming's voice, reporting his numbers, drifted over from the outer passage.

"One kilometer, a little over four minutes, in good condition!"

Chen Fei's face darkened.

"Don't shout."

Sun Ming quickly shut up.

But Class Two already displayed a relaxed attitude.

In the third shift's formation, Li Qiang kept a close eye on the first shift.

He saw that Xiao Longteng did not rush forward, but instead pressed down next to Liu Hai, slowing down his pace.

Li Qiang suppressed his anger and spoke in a low voice.

"Squad leader, Xiao Longteng has been held up today."

Zhao Hai followed on the side of the group, his stopwatch never stopping.

"You should first make sure you've run your own path clean."

"I wanted to overtake him for a bit in the third kilometer."

Zhao Hai turned his head and glanced at him.

"You should bet on the finish line, not on the person."

Li Qiang didn't say anything more, but he quietly increased the frequency of his footwork.

When the first runner passed the one-kilometer mark, Wang Dashan finally spoke.

"Have you all had your fun?"

No one dared to answer.

Wang Dashan pointed to the front row.

"Those in front are running really fast, but those at the back are about to scatter, see?"

Chen Jingxing was panting, his face contorted in pain.

"Report... I saw it."

"You saw it and still rushed in blindly?"

"Report, my legs weren't responding to my brain just now."

"Then let your brain catch up with your legs!"

Wang Dashan turned to Xiao Longteng.

"Xiao Longteng, move to the side and behind Liu Hai."

"Yes."

Xiao Longteng took half a step forward, positioning himself behind Liu Hai on the left.

Wang Dashan shouted again.

"Class One, follow my command, front row, move back half a step."

Chen Jingxing and Li Lei both slowed down.

The opening is still there, but it hasn't widened further.

Liu Hai was breathing heavily, his throat felt congested.

Xiao Longteng spoke, but his words were brief.

"His steps are only half a step shorter."

I did the same with my bangs, but I swayed my body a little less.

"Hold your arm tight, don't let it swing out."

The bangs make the swing arm smaller.

"Exhale every two steps, then inhale again after exhaling completely."

I tried bangs twice, but I'm still in a hurry.

"I...can't breathe."

"Breathing is not panting."

Xiao Longteng's voice was not loud.

"Breathing is disordered. Only by exhaling can you breathe in."

Liu Hai's face turned red as he forced himself to vomit in rhythm.

step.

Two steps.

threw up.

step.

Two steps.

Vomit again.

Chen Jingxing, who was in front, heard this and also made the change.

He almost choked after making only two revisions.

"Brother Xiao, this thing actually requires some technical skill?"

Wang Dashan cursed at him.

"If you keep chatting, I'll double your 'content'!"

Chen Jingxing quickly shut up.

Li Lei stopped in front of Chen Jingxing and walked alongside him.

He didn't turn around, he just said one sentence.

"Those in the front row, slow down by half a step."

Wang Dashan heard this but did not interrupt.

Xiao Longteng added a sentence.

"Chen Jingxing, don't fight over it. Li Lei, consider the status."

Chen Jingxing responded, panting.

"receive."

Li Lei only replied with one word.

"it is good."

In the second kilometer, the speed of the bus did not increase.

But the team stabilized.

Liu Hai's breathing was still heavy, but he was no longer pressing down on himself.

His footsteps went from being shaky to keeping up with the heels of the shoes in front of him, and his backpack swayed less.

Wang Dashan followed from the side, still speaking fiercely.

"Liu Hai, don't lift your shoulders!"

"yes!"

"Chen Jingxing, don't get cocky!"

"Squad leader, I can't float anymore."

"Then keep running steady!"

The second class has also passed the second kilometer.

Sun Ming had been shouting easily earlier, but now he was silent.

Liang Zhi fell to the back of the line, his steps beginning to feel heavy.

Chen Fei immediately gave the password.

"Class Two, drop half a beat, don't scatter!"

Sun Ming wanted to turn around, but Chen Fei stopped him with a scolding.

"Look ahead! Are you leading the race or just watching the show?"

Sun Ming could only stare ahead, his breathing becoming noticeably heavier.

As the third shift passed by from the inside, Li Qiang seized the opportunity to push forward.

He and Xiao Longteng were separated by two roads, not far apart.

"Xiao Longteng!"

Xiao Longteng did not respond.

Li Qiang shouted again.

"The last mile, a competition of one segment?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hai nearly lost his footing.

Xiao Longteng only gave him two words.

"Listen to the feet."

Liu Hai quickly drew his attention back.

Wang Dashan shouted towards the direction of Class 3.

"Li Qiang, you need to get a note from your class monitor!"

Zhao Hai then pressed down on it.

"Li Qiang, return to formation."

Li Qiang gritted his teeth and retreated to the rhythm of the third shift.

At the third kilometer mark, the second shift began to decline.

If the first kilometer goes too smoothly, you'll have to pay the price later.

Sun Ming's footwork became lighter, and Liang Zhi's distance increased twice.

Chen Fei gave the command twice before he was able to bring the back of the line together.

On Class One's side, Chen Jingxing saw Class Two slow down and got a little carried away.

"Squad leader, Class Two has slowed down."

Before Wang Dashan could speak, Xiao Longteng blurted out a remark.

"Don't chase."

Chen Jingxing became anxious.

"An opportunity!"

Xiao Longteng stared at the row of people in front of him.

"We're practicing rhythm today."

Wang Dashan answered quickly.

"Did you hear that? Class 1, no sprinting, keep your formation intact until the finish line."

Chen Jingxing felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Squad leader, my competitive spirit is a little aggrieved."

"Let it endure it."

"Yes."

In the last 400 meters, Class 1 did not speed up.

Liu Hai almost couldn't hold on any longer several times, but Xiao Longteng only gave him one sentence each time.

"Exhale."

"Stand firm on your feet."

"Look ahead."

Liu Hai didn't complain.

He stared at Li Lei's back foot, following its landing, its retraction, and its expulsion.

The finish line has been reached.

The second class passed first, about ten seconds faster, but the back of the line was longer.

Class 1, go a little slower, then the whole class will cross the line together.

Liu Hai almost bent over after crossing the line, and Wang Dashan roared.

"Stand up straight!"

Liu Hai held his back straight, his chest heaving.

Chen Jingxing held his lower back, his face covered in sweat.

"For the first time, I felt that not sprinting was more torturous than sprinting."

Li Lei took a few breaths and opened the notebook.

"The first kilometer is fast, the middle section is recovered, and the third kilometer is stable."

Chen Jingxing looked at him.

"You can even summarize after you finish the run?"

Li Lei kept writing.

"If you don't remember it, you'll do it again next time."

Liu Hai stood to the side, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence.

"I haven't fallen behind."

No one laughed at him.

Chen Jingxing raised his hand and patted his backpack.

"Yes, you didn't fall behind. Today you mispronounced the second class's 'Don't fall asleep' as 'Don't fall behind.'"

Wang Dashan walked over.

"Don't be too happy yet. Today it was only three kilometers."

Liu Hai immediately stood at attention.

"Yes."

Wang Dashan looked at him for two seconds.

"However, things didn't go wrong in the last kilometer, so I'll make a note of that."

Liu Hai paused for a moment, then quickly nodded.

"yes!"

Not far away, Lei Zhan wrote the data from both shifts into the registration folder.

Zhou Zhengguo stood to the side and glanced at it.

Class 2: Fast in the first kilometer, slowing down in the third kilometer, with the tail of the team widening twice.

Class 1: The first kilometer was disrupted, adjustments were made in the middle, and the fluctuations were small in the last two kilometers, with all members maintaining their formation.

Lei Zhan added a line afterward.

Xiao Longteng provided rhythm prompts but did not issue commands on behalf of the squad leader.

After reading it, Zhou Zhengguo spoke in a low voice.

"He not only brought out the bangs, but also influenced Chen Jingxing and Li Lei."

Lei Zhan capped the pen.

"Just state the facts."

Zhou Zhengguo didn't say anything more.

After being brought back by Class Two, Sun Ming sat on the edge of the bed, about to lie back, when Chen Fei stopped him with a single sentence.

"Who told you to sit down?"

Sun Ming immediately jumped up.

"Report: My legs want to rest."

"Let it stand and think."

Chen Fei spread the training board on the table.

The first page still contains the proposal I wrote last night.

Speed ​​up in the first kilometer.

The middle section is stabilized.

Beyond the Path of Others.

Chen Fei took a red pen and crossed out the entire line "speeding up in the first kilometer".

Sun Ming stood to the side and spoke cautiously.

"Squad leader, should we stop trying to stir things up?"

Chen Fei didn't look up.

"Can't carry it."

"what?"

"Wang Dashan will take charge, and Xiao Longteng will keep things under control. If things get chaotic at the front, the rest of the class will be able to recover."

Sun Ming scratched his head.

"So how do we bet?"
