The training regimen Su Bai arranged for Cui Luoheng was somewhat similar to what he had initially given Zhang Wei and Hu Li. He repeatedly instructed Cui Luoheng to forget his original hurdling and rhythm patterns, and to try running in the most comfortable way possible.

For any athlete accustomed to their established hurdling rhythm, this was challenging. Especially for a player like Cui Luoheng, who had excellent rhythm sensitivity and control ability, at the moment Su Bai told him to run freely, he found himself struggling to grasp any rhythm at all.

In anticipation of this situation, Su Bai was actually prepared. Instead of having Cui Luoheng directly perform hurdle running, he had him train on a separate track through flat running to explore his optimal rhythm.

Having trained "A Luo 1" in the training space before, Su Bai could easily use the approach he initially used to train Qiu Wen, providing Cui Luoheng with the most suitable rhythm directly. However, Su Bai understood that he wasn't Cui Luoheng's head coach. After today's test and identification of the issues Cui Luoheng was facing, Zhou Wen would naturally take over Cui Luoheng's subsequent training plan.

Given this situation, Su Bai's role wasn't to have Cui Luoheng solely rely on guidance from others for immediate training results. Instead, he needed to enable Cui Luoheng to quickly grasp his own rhythm exploration methods.

Only when Cui Luoheng mastered the way to perceive and control his rhythm could he, in the future as his flat running speed and hurdle technique improved, gradually adjust his overall rhythm based on his own condition. This would ensure the coordination between rhythm and performance continued to improve.

It's also because of this that Zhou Wen, who was observing from the sidelines, always felt that the morning training of Su Bai and Cui Luoheng wasn't particularly smooth.

Whether it was the short-distance variable-speed running or downhill hurdle running that Su Bai had Cui Luoheng do, it seemed far from his original intention. Su Bai even had Cui Luoheng do multiple sets of starts to the 1st and 2nd hurdles in succession. The overall training content seemed very scattered, leaving one somewhat puzzled.

Initially, Cui Luoheng didn't quite understand Su Bai's arrangements, but over the course of their time together, the subtle influence had led him to trust Su Bai considerably. Even without much explanation from Su Bai, he accepted the training quietly and trained with full effort.

At first, Su Bai would tell Cui Luoheng to forget his rhythm during regular training. However, as the scattered training exercises increased, Su Bai stopped emphasizing this aspect to him.

Most of these scattered exercises were training routines that Cui Luoheng didn't usually encounter. Su Bai had no other requirement for his training, except that each training set could have a rest interval of 10-30 seconds, and the only requirement was to perform at the fastest speed.

The voice in Cui Luoheng's mind gradually transformed from the initial "break the original rhythm" to a rhythm similar to Cui's face, urging him to go "faster, even faster."

Unconsciously, Cui Luoheng had begun to adjust his speed and rhythm himself in order to achieve higher speeds through rhythm adjustments.

On the training field, Su Bai quietly observed Cui Luoheng's movements, watching him unconsciously change and adjust his rhythm. A slightly satisfied expression appeared on Su Bai's face.

Zhou Wen, who had been focusing on observing other team members, now turned his attention back to Cui Luoheng's training. He keenly noticed that there seemed to be some changes in Cui Luoheng's movements and rhythm. Considering what Su Bai had said and the planned adjustments for Cui Luoheng, Zhou Wen quickly realized that Cui Luoheng's rhythm and state while running had indeed changed.
