Capítulo 42: A FOREIGNER'S PASSION
As dawn came Liam was visibly one of the only students who were at the school . After changing into his track gear he started off by stretching. He then entered the gym and dead lifts three hundred and fifty pounds, five rep and four sets. After completing this task he bench pressed two hundred pounds, twelve reps and five sets. He then moved on to doing hip thrusts with weights, then hamstring curls and back squats with weights.
After completing these task he did some weighted pullups. Eight per rep and five sets. He then moved on to bicep curls which he did five per set with fifty pounds then alternate to the next hand until eventually he did thirty five reps each. To end his morning exercises he ran on the treadmill for half an hour. After completing everything Liam drank some water as he breathes heavily.
You're here early, Liam said a man as he walked in the gym. Yes coach, i already finished my morning training.
I see, that's good keep up the good work said Liam's coach. Yes coach, I need to reach my goal as soon as possible. I know, and I'm really impressed with your work ethic you haven't missed a single day of training.
Liam Ainsworth, a foreign student from the United Kingdom. Age sixteen, a second year, a hundred and ninety eight centimeters tall and has a pretty damn good physique despite his height. However, competing in the hundred metre races is what he wants despite him being so big, and his weight is bringing him down. The fastest time he has is eleven point one seconds which is below even the average high school sprinters, I'm afraid that he won't make it in this field at this rate, it's really hard to break this news to someone who is working as hard as him.
Alright coach, I'm going to finish my morning training with a light thirty minute jog, see you later said Liam as he was about to leave. Wait Liam, before you go I want to ask you something said the coach with a concerned look on his face. What is it coach? Asked Liam.
What exactly drives you to want to become a hundred meter sprinter? I mean it doesn't really makes sense to me. You are so tall, massive and powerful, so why did you choose to be on the track when your more suited for fielding events like shotput or discuss. Well, you see my uncle really likes sprinting so that's why I'm training to become a sprinter and that's all there is to it said Liam.
You have got to be kidding me, that's it? That's what compels you to be a sprinter? If that's the case then you won't make it very far, that's the most ridiculous thing that I've ever heard. So what you mean to tell me is you aren't doing for yourself but for your uncle who likes to watch hundred meter races? Asked the coach. Well, that's practically what I just said.
So you make all these sacrifices just so that your uncle can watch a high school race? Yes that's the main reason. Listen to me Liam, every sprinter has the drive and hunger for victory, getting faster than everyone else compels them to get their body into peak physical condition, the thrill and thoughts of competing with someone who's faster than you is what keeps a sprinter on his toes day in ,day out. So how can you look at me and tell me that your uncle is why you're in tracks.
There is nothing more to say coach because it's the complete and honest truth, I will be the best sprinter in Japan and I'll make my uncle proud said Liam as Naomi ran pass the gym. Plus let's be real, it's not everyday a guy get to see and train along side beautiful Japanese girls running around this early in the morning. I'll see you later when training starts, see you Coach said Liam as he started jogging.
Such a waste of talent and potential, if only he knew that he was meant for something greater than eleven point one second said the coach. Liam jogged around the track
Until he eventually catch up with Naomi. Good morning Nakamura he said as he slowed down. Oh , it's you, Liam Ainsworth right? You're here early again today said Naomi.
Yes, I have to get faster , the track meet is quickly approaching and with a time as slow as mine i'd probably come in last place. Yes you're right, I'm getting sort of anxious about the upcoming track meet, but let's do our best okay said Naomi as she smiled. Yes , for sure .
Damn she's so cute said Liam.
As sometime passed Hayato walks on the outer side of the fence near the track. Wait, what's Hayato doing at school so early? Hayato! Shout Liam as he ran towards the fence. Huh, oh it's you Liam, you're out here early said Hayato. Yes I have to, I mean it's called morning training for a reason.
I like your enthusiasm my foreign friend said Hayato as he smiled respecting Liam's work ethic. So why are you out here so early? Well, I couldn't sleep a wink last night after that practice match we had against Yokonan yesterday. Oh I almost forgot, you told me you had a match, so how did it go did you win.
No, we lost, Yokonan high was obviously the better team, however we only lost by a single point ninety to eighty nine. You guys did great then and you have a lot of time to improve your game to get revenge the next time you meet. Yes, which is exactly why I'm out here so early, I'm going to work on my skills in the basketball gym said Hayato.
Okay, all the best Hayato, good luck with your training said Liam as he was about to get back to training. On that note, why don't you come over and spend a minute or two, it's been a while since we played with each other. Ever since that class vs class match we haven't got the chance since you were busy with training. So what do you say?
