Pay attention to smart running, help you run as light as a feather, run without injury
The Great North Run in Newcastle, England, is one of the largest half marathons in the world and a long-running event, usually held in early September every month.
As an important half-horse event at the beginning of the autumn horse running season, the Great North Run often attracts many elite runners to participate in order to test the effectiveness of summer training, lay the foundation for runners to adjust their state and prepare for the autumn horse running season.
Japan's Daisuke participated in the match with a fourth place of 1:01:05, slightly behind Bekele. This result also created his half-horse personal PB, indicating that his training results after his comeback are still remarkable.
As one of the best endurance players in Asia today, it has not been easy for him to go all the way.
Today we will take stock of his story.
The seeds of a passion for sport were planted from an early age
Da Qiu Jie was not born into a sports family, he was just the child of an ordinary family.
Daqiujie's father is an ordinary office worker, but also loves running, and it is said that Daqiujie's father can achieve 19 minutes and 45 seconds in 5 kilometers, which is also quite good among the mass runners.
His father's love of sports also influenced Dajie. In elementary school, he joined the school baseball team. Extremely explosive, with amazing speed when running at base.
As a very assertive child from an early age, Da Li Jie always remembered his parents' teaching that when he was a child, "his own affairs, in the end, he must make up his own mind".
In order to improve the speed, Da Qiu Jie never cared about training hard, other students wanted to evade training with a little injury or pain, but Da Qiu Jie often took the initiative to ask the coach to improve the intensity of training, but the coach suggested that he "don't practice too fiercely" for his health.
In junior high school, he began to receive athletics training, and in the third year of junior high school, at a young age, he was able to run 3000 meters with a time of 8 minutes 41 seconds and 59 seconds, which is quite good for middle school students.
In 2007, he entered the famous long-distance running school Saku Nagashoku High School, and in 2008 and 2009, he represented the school in the national high school competition for two consecutive years, achieving very good results, and became the sports star of the school for a time.
Hakone Ekiden became famous in the First World War
Daikoto's true fame began with the famous Hakone Ekiden, an event that is also known as the cradle of Japan's best middle-distance runners.
In 2010, with his excellent long-distance running ability, he was recommended by his high school and successfully entered the famous Waseda University, where the famous Japanese runner writer Haruki Murakami also graduated.
In his freshman year, Daisuke staged in the all-Japan University Relay Tournament and surpassed seven people in his personal range, helping Waseda University reverse its disadvantage and win the championship.
In 2011, he was a sophomore in college. Daisuke participated in the Hakone Ekiden Relay as the first baton. This year, Daisuke not only won the stage championship, but also helped Waseda University regain the overall title of the Hakone Relay Race, which had been a 18-year absence.
In 2011, he also won the gold medal in athletics at the Shenzhen World University Games.
In 2012, the third-year Daisuke of the university once again competed in the Hakone Relay. This year, Waseda University failed to successfully defend its title. However, he still won the championship in his stage.
In 2013, the fourth-year university student Daeje set a new record for 10,000 meters of Japanese university students at that time.
Waseda University has never won the Hakone Ekiden Tournament since then, because Daisuke graduated ...
From industrial regiment to training in the United States
The Japanese training system is that excellent athletes of Hakone Ekikoru enter the athletics team of the company after graduating from university and continue their professional training, which is also known as the corporate running group.
After graduating from university, he joined the Nissin Industrial Running Team and won the silver medal in athletics at the 2014 Asian Games, and then broke the Japanese 3,000 meters record with a time of 7:40.09.
For most of Japan's top endurance runners, entering the corporate running group until retirement is the most common trajectory.
However, in the case of becoming a first-class player in Japan, he made a very important decision to leave the Nissin Industrial Running Group and accept Nike's Oregon plan to train in the United States.
In March 2015, he announced on social media that he had officially joined the Oregon program and moved his family to the United States.
To some extent, the Japanese middle-distance running training community is regarded as an "alien", and in their view, after the baptism of Hakone Ekiden, graduation to the industrial running group training is the "right way".
But it is not what the domestic media has always said, the Japanese middle-distance running circles scold Da Qiu Jie as a "traitor", Da Li Jie did not change his nationality, and he did not apologize to anyone, let alone talk about traitors, but Da Qiu Jie walked out of the "comfort zone" of the industrial running group for his personal ideals and became the "catfish" that broke the traditional Japanese middle and long-distance running training system, which really surprised the Japanese people.
Nike's Oregon program is a program launched by Nike in 2001 to help improve the level of middle- and long-distance running in the United States, and it was initiated by Nike Vice President Clarke.
The head coach of the Oregon program is Pete Julian, and Pitt was photographed by Albertos Racha, the head coach of the Oregon program, and joined the Oregon program as a coach.

Under the guidance of Coach Alberto and Pitt, Dashijie began to try a training method that was very different from the Japanese long-distance running training system.
In fact, it is difficult for the outside world to see the training methods and training content of the Oregon Plan, and we can only spy on the social media of the big man, Mofala, Rupp and others.
The Oregon program first emphasizes high-altitude training. Oregon Project members often travel to Boulder, Colorado, for months of highland training, and even when athletes train on the plains near Nike's headquarters in Oregon, they often sleep in rooms at night that simulate high-altitude and low-oxygen conditions.
Second, pay attention to muscle strength training. Daeje has mentioned many times on various occasions that the biggest difference between the Oregon plan and the previous Japanese long-distance running training system is to strengthen the proportion of athletes in strength training.
With the change in training style and the personal efforts of Da Qijie, his ability has improved significantly:
✔ In the KBC Night of Athletics 5000m event in 2015, he ran a time of 13:08.40, breaking the Japanese 5,000m record.
✔ At the 100th Japan Athletics Championships in 2016, Daisuke won both the gold medals in the 10,000 meters and 5,000 meters. In the same year, Daqiujie announced that he had begun to fight for the Half Marathon.
✔ In the 2017 Kagawa Maruka International Half Marathon in Japan, Daisuke ranked second among Japanese runners with a time of 1 hour, 1 minute and 13 seconds, and ranked sixth in the whole competition.
Exactly two years after officially joining the Oregon program, Big Rush Jet went on his first full marathon – the 2017 Boston Marathon in the United States.
Shocked the world, he crossed the finish line with a time of 2 hours, 10 minutes and 28 seconds, and his first horse reached the podium at the Boston Marathon, the worst of the world's six major major events.
Da Jie used his own efforts to shut the mouths of those who tried to see their own jokes.
In the same year, at the Japan International Fukuoka Marathon, Daisuke once again significantly refreshed his best results, 2 hours 07 minutes and 19 seconds.
The 2018 Chicago Marathon can be described as the pinnacle of Oregon plan athletes, Mofala, Rupp, and Daqiujie three team members competed collectively, and finally Mofala won the championship with a time of 2 hours 05 minutes and 11 seconds, setting a new record for his best and the British marathon.
When he crossed the finish line in 2:05:50, he clenched his fists and roared with a short and powerful roar, which also broke the national record of the Japanese marathon and the Asian record;
The previous record was another Japanese celebrity, Yuta Shiraku, who just set a 2:06:11 at the 2018 Tokyo Marathon.
2019 in the trough
Da Qiu Jie has experienced many record-breaking highlight moments, and has also experienced those "troughs" seen by the outside world.
In the stormy and extremely cold Tokyo Marathon in 2019, he withdrew from the marathon for the first time.
In fact, the media always seems to overplay his defeat, but when recalling the race in his autobiography "Marathon Celebrity Handbook", he said: "I made great sacrifices and tried my best in training, but I was still in good spirits at the moment of retirement, and I don't regret it;
During the rest period after the game, I kept asking myself what was wrong with me at that time, and with deep thinking and analysis, my problems were solved one by one."
Calmly facing defeat and summing up experience in time, Da Qijie is a very frank and pragmatic person.
Later, he lost the MGC Trials, and was overtaken by other players in the final stage, only finishing third in the men.
Coupled with the fact that the Oregon program was shut down because of the doping scandal and forced to go to Africa for training, objectively speaking, the big force in 2019 is quite unsmooth, and he has also endured a lot of mental pressure.
In fact, victory or defeat is a common matter of soldiers, and a mature, responsible athlete should be able to withstand the worst outcome, which in itself constitutes the life of an athlete, and there is no constant winning general on the sports field.
Extremely tough Tokyo Olympic qualifications
According to the Japan Olympic Marathon Selection Rules, it is very likely that he will have a third Olympic ticket as the national record holder of the Japanese Olympic Marathon, but he chooses not to pin his hopes on others (according to the MGC rules, breaking the Japanese national record can participate in the Olympic Games);
He chose to take the initiative to attack the 2020 Tokyo Marathon, and he and Yuta Shiraku competed for tickets to the Tokyo Olympics to become the highlight of the audience.
In the end, he broke the Japanese marathon national record with a time of 2 hours, 05 minutes and 29 seconds, and undisputedly appeared on the Olympic stage.
Decided to retire with the Tokyo Olympics
"The Last Battle"
Before the Tokyo Olympics, Daqijie suddenly announced on social media that he would officially retire after the Tokyo Olympics, which deeply regretted countless people who followed him, after all, he was only 30 years old, which was still the age of the longest-career marathon runner.
Long before the Tokyo Olympics, Daisuke founded a project called "sugar elite", which is based on the concept of "gathering for the sake of fighting";
In the summer of 2020, "Sugar Elite" held a free running training camp for Japanese high school students and college students, with Daisuke himself as the running coach.
It seems that after his retirement, Daqiujie's plan is to train new people to realize his unfulfilled dream of being on the podium of the marathon championship.
In the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games, after a long period of preparation, he crossed the Olympic marathon finish line for the sixth time in the hot weather of Sapporo, with a time of 2 hours, 10 minutes and 41 seconds, setting a record for the best result of the Japanese Olympic Games, equaling the best place in the Japanese Olympic Games, and also defending the honor of the Japanese marathon.
The two Japanese teammates who defeated him at the MGC Trials failed to perform at their best, and Hattori even had severe leg cramps at the end of the race, one of which was due to the weather that made the race too difficult, and secondly, their lack of experience in international competitions compared to Daisuke.
In an interview after the game, the tears of the big man kept rolling in his eyes.
"I give myself a 100 score for today's performance, and in such a difficult situation, all the spectators on both sides of the track and in front of the TV are my strength," he said.
It seems that the big force is still unwilling, standing on the Olympic podium may be his innermost thoughts, but the African players are too strong, although he can not beat some of the Afrika Korps masters despite his best efforts.
Make a comeback again
On August 10, 2022, Japanese marathon star Daisuke announced his official comeback on social platforms and plans to participate in the New York Marathon in November.
However, this news actually has early signs, as early as February this year, Da Qiu Jie had said that "enjoying running is still good, but it is far from enough for him, he still wants to get excitement in the competition." ”
In June, Daisuke participated in the 5,000-meter event at the Japan Sport University Long Distance Games in Yokohama City, and finally ran a good time of 13 minutes 30 seconds 23.
On social media, he wrote: "Simple is the ultimate complexity, no matter how many times, as long as you can run again is good, when I run, it will take me to another world, let me forget all the unnecessary noise of distraction." 」
Last summer, I finished as a racer, and now I'm at the starting line again. ”
The spirit of the Great Force
With his handsome image, excellent ability, fighting spirit of never accepting defeat and the spirit of daring to be the first to take the usual road, Daqi Jie has been loved and sought after by countless running enthusiasts and has countless fans.
Pete Julian, an Oregon program coach, had this to say about him: "The dedication, perseverance and absolute tenacity of his work are beyond my words."
Da Li Jie has an important personality characteristic, that is, the fighting spirit of always competing for the first, never satisfied, and striving for the first.
In the third year of junior high school, he participated in the 3,000 meters of the All Japan Secondary School Games, and ran the third place, but according to his enlightenment coach, the young Daqiu Jie got the third place but his face was full of chagrin, this child has the courage to strive for the first place since he was a child, which is also the fundamental reason for his continuous progress on the road of life.
brief summary
From becoming a young man to becoming a top athlete in adulthood, his life path seems logical, but his sweet and sour bitterness is only known to him.
From Hakone's fame in the First World War to Japan's best record in the Olympic Games, from the first horse to the podium of the Grand Slam event to breaking the Japanese national record twice, from going to the United States to train as an "outlier" to the suspension of the Oregon plan, from the withdrawal of the Tokyo Marathon to the final stage of the MGC Trials, which can create the best and bear the worst blows, the Great Forced Jie shows the spiritual quality of the world's top athletes.
How far can the future force Jay go, some people say that he will never be able to defeat the Afrika Korps, but what is the problem, he himself has become the embodiment of never giving up and unremitting struggle!
Hats off to the Great Force!
A day of minimalist life
