When Guan Lang thought that his physical strength might be promoted to E-level, his originally very resistant mentality was immediately soothed and calmed down.
Although 500 kilometers sounds a bit scary, it is not completely impossible.
With these thoughts in mind, Guan Lang took a bath and fell asleep in a hurry.
The next morning may not be considered morning.
3:40 am to be precise.
It was still dark outside and the air was a bit cold.
Guan Lang changed his clothes and went out in the dusk.
Maybe his sleep quality is getting better and better.
Since getting the system, the sleep time he needs to restore his energy has become shorter and shorter.
About three hours of sleep is enough to recover from his day's fatigue.
Guan Lang tightened his collar and touched the pockets of his two coats. They were filled with high-calorie food to replenish the energy consumed by strenuous exercise.
Stepping out of the street, Tiannan at four in the morning and usual times are simply two completely different worlds.
The asphalt road, which was bustling with traffic during the day, was now empty with not a single car in sight.
The traffic lights in the distance were still flashing brightly, even though there were no vehicles that needed its instructions.
The street lamps beside the road cast yellow beams of light, and dim yellow lights illuminated the surroundings, making this "ghost town"-like scenery a little more lively.
Guan Lang rarely wandered the streets at this time. After tightening his shoelaces, he spread his legs and started running.
The soles of the shoes stepped on the stone bricks of the sidewalk, and the clatter of footsteps could be heard in the silence.
Guan Lang adjusted his breathing while recalling the essentials of the land flying technique.
Land flying is roughly divided into two parts.
What you usually practice is the cultivation method, which can subtly improve the strength of your legs and also build up the sense of Qi in various parts of your legs.
But what needs to be really used now is actual footwork, using the sense of Qi to draw the internal force into the legs.
Guan Lang had also practiced footwork in actual combat for a period of time before, so he was already well versed in it.
Although this movement technique was given a very bluffing name by Guan Lang, in the final analysis it originated from a set of track and field textbooks.
Therefore, its effects can be roughly divided into two categories. One is to activate the internal force in the body when running long distances, similar to long-distance running. It focuses on restoring physical strength, allowing people to travel long distances like a horse, and consumes less internal force. The disadvantage is that it cannot explode.
Extremely fast speed.
One type is similar to sprinting, which emphasizes explosive power and strength and consumes more internal energy.
The first half of Guan Lang's training focuses on practicing long-distance running skills.
Therefore, although the system is a trick, it does not completely force him to die.
The internal force slowly flowed into his legs and body like silk threads. Although the feeling was extremely weak, Guan Lang still caught it.
Guan Lang ran at a slightly slower speed than usual for long-distance running.
His planned running route is to run along the sidewalk loop outside the campus, and he is expected to finish at seven o'clock.
Buy breakfast, then go back to take a shower and go to class.
Very perfect timing.
The internal force like silk threads flows continuously and slowly in the body, especially the two thigh meridians, under the traction of Qi.
Guan Lang didn't feel it had any special effects at first.
The headphones he was wearing played brisk music, and Guan Lang ran silently.
It was only after running three or four kilometers that Guan Lang vaguely realized the difference.
If he followed this pace of about five minutes per kilometer, his body should be a little tired by now.
After all, his physical fitness can only be regarded as an excellent human body level, and it has not yet reached the level of endless physical strength.
But now I just have a little sweat on my forehead.
Both physical and mental conditions are maintained quite well.
Guan Lang felt his legs and abdomen carefully. A wave of warmth would rush through him every few minutes, restoring his body's fatigue.
Originally, Guan Lang was worried that running long distances in such a short period of time would put a huge strain on his body, especially on relatively fragile parts such as his knees and ankles.
But now I have some reassurance.
Without any worries, Guan Lang continued to run silently.
Circle after circle around the outside of the campus.
Guan Lang didn't even know how many laps he had run.
There are really too many to count.
Time flies.
The sky also changes with the passage of time from the deep dusk to the clear sky with the rising sun.
The vehicles on the road also started to make a beeping noise.
Guan Lang propped up his knees and half-squatted in place to rest.
"Huh, huh, huh." Guan Lang gasped and adjusted his breathing.
All the clothes on his body were completely soaked with sweat.
The muscles in his thighs were trembling slightly, and a faint layer of blood appeared on the skin all over his body.
Guan Lang wiped away the beads of sweat on his forehead, blinked his eyes, and exuded the beads of sweat that had slipped into the corners of his eyes.
I felt much better after resting for about two minutes.
When he first stopped, he felt that the whole world was rushing forward.
How many kilometers have you run?
Guan Lang swallowed and thought.
Open the system task panel.
Mileage is shown on the progress bar for weekly tasks.
Mission progress: 43.2 kilometers/500 kilometers
Did you really run a marathon?
Guan Lang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he had run so far.
The total distance of the marathon is 26 miles and 385 yards, which is equivalent to 42.195 kilometers.
To be honest, running 43.2 kilometers in three hours is not very fast.
The actual world record for a full marathon is 2 hours, 01 minutes and 39 seconds, which is a full hour faster than Guan Lang.
But those are the results of professional athletes, and Guan Lang can only be considered a trial run this morning.
After all, this was his first long-distance run in his life, so Guan Lang was still more cautious.
Except for the first lap, which was done at a pace of three and a half minutes and one kilometer in order to complete the daily task, the rest of the lap was roughly maintained at a pace of five minutes and one kilometer.
However, this is actually far from his limit. He feels that he should have no problem running the entire distance at a pace of 4 minutes and 1 kilometer.
Even faster, a 3-minute 1-kilometer pace may be achievable.
However, in that case, it may put a greater burden on the body and affect other daily activities of the day, and excessive overdraft may also affect the next long-distance run.
Guan Lang summarized his experience in his mind, and finally felt that maintaining a pace of 3.5 to 4 minutes per kilometer should be a more ideal range.
I stood up slowly. My body had stopped breathing. The fatigue caused by exercise seemed to have been relieved by most of it. I should be fully recovered in another hour or two.
The internal energy in the body has not been consumed too much, and there is still two-thirds left.
His only problem now is that he is too hungry.
Although he had eaten while running just now, he still felt hungry in his body.
Guan Lang found a breakfast shop that he usually frequented. It was now seven o'clock and the shop had just opened.
Under the surprised gaze of the boss, Guan Lang ate several large cages of barbecued pork buns in one go.
Then, after packing a breakfast for my little cousin, I walked home leisurely.
