The training area for the hurdle group didn't have many people. Currently, there were no 400 meters hurdles athletes from the national team training here, mainly only Cui Luoheng, Lu Mengfan, and Zhao Yankai.

Compared to before, although Cui Luoheng won the gold medal in the recent Asian Games, there hadn't been significant changes in his overall training state. However, it was obvious that his determination and intensity during training had grown significantly. It was like a hidden sharpness gradually emerging and shining through.

Even though he still wore a stern expression and didn't talk much, he no longer had that rebellious look with a thorny attitude. Instead, he was becoming more composed and confident.

After the Asian Games ended, Su Bai had privately talked to Cui Luoheng. He made it clear that although Cui Luoheng's performance in this competition was impressive, the results over the past few months were built upon the energy accumulated in the previous two years, including the explosive growth achieved through adjusted training. All of these peaked at the Asian Games.

Moving forward, his personal best record (pb) wouldn't improve as easily as before. To achieve better results, he needed to accumulate anew.

From a rapid burst of progress in results to a slower burst, and even potential fluctuations when in a less-than-optimal competitive state, there could be quite a gap. Therefore, Su Bai had given Cui Luoheng a "vaccine" of precaution early on.

During these days after the competition, including the days of recovery training, although the dynamic data from the system consistently reported that Cui Luoheng was in good shape, Su Bai still felt relieved only after personally observing the training on the field.

"Coach Xiao Su!"

When Su Bai arrived at the training ground for the 110 meters hurdles, Lu Shengbin had already noticed him. However, he waited until Su Bai had finished observing Cui Luoheng's training before smiling and greeting him.

"Coach Lu." Su Bai also smiled and nodded at Lu Shengbin.

Lu Shengbin looked at Su Bai and couldn't help but feel curious for a while.

During the previous Asian Games training period, Su Bai had devoted most of his energy to the 400 meters event. Lu Shengbin was well aware of this. He knew that Su Bai had even been overseeing Cui Luoheng's training program, but even with this context, Cui Luoheng still surpassed Lu Mengfan.

Lu Shengbin couldn't quite figure out whether it was Su Bai's superior training program for Cui Luoheng or if Cui Luoheng's innate talent was just that exceptional.

However, after the Asian Games, Lu Mengfan's enthusiasm for training had increased significantly. He had taken the initiative to approach Lu Shengbin, expressing his desire for comprehensive improvement during the upcoming winter training, covering aspects such as technical details, overall physical fitness, and rhythm adjustments.

For Lu Mengfan, Cui Luoheng's emergence not only relieved a significant portion of the pressure that had been on him, but also fueled his desire to surpass Cui Luoheng.

Lu Mengfan's state of mind delighted Lu Shengbin. He had decided to fully support his student. In the past couple of days, he had spent a lot of time with the data analysis team, reevaluating Lu Mengfan's overall data and preparing to identify key points for training improvement.

Seeing Su Bai at this moment, Lu Shengbin thought it might be a good idea to ask for Su Bai's help in analyzing Lu Mengfan's data.

Upon hearing Lu Shengbin's suggestion, Su Bai naturally had no objections. They were all members of the national team. In the hurdles group, there were still aspects of Cui Luoheng's training that required Lu Shengbin's assistance. It was normal for them to help each other out.
