Winning a race before you run it —Subir Shukla
The crowd was really excited. They were all shouting, ‘Come on, Rani!’ Asif and Seema were screaming too, ‘Raa-ni! Raa-ni! Raa-ni!’
They were at the State Athletics Championship. The women’s 200 metres race was on. 8 runners came sprinting round the bend. Right in front was Rani, their favourite. She had been their senior in school, and they were all supporting her. Her arms and legs pumping away, three long steps and she had won. Rani was the State Champion!
‘Congratulations! Terrific race you ran today!’ Asif and Seema said as they handed her a bouquet of flowers. Rani was thrilled and happy to see her juniors from school.
‘Actually, I won this race two years ago.’
‘Two years ago? What do you mean?’ asked Seema in surprise.
‘Yes, two years ago, when I decided that this is the race I would target.’ Rani explained, ‘Do you remember that qualifying race at the district level?’
‘Yes, you were second, weren’t you?’
‘I was. That was when I decided. My coach Baalu Sir made a plan – it was hard!
‘How hard?’
‘I had to build my stamina. Many times on long fast runs, I ran till I couldn’t even remain standing. On sprint days, there were a series of short, really fast runs. There were sessions when I had to pull a friend holding me through a cycle tube around my waist. And the weight training sessions – it takes time to get used to! My muscles
ached, my elbow had an injury because I increased the weights too fast. But the most difficult part was the interval training.’
‘Interval training? What’s that?’
‘Well, you sprint 200 mts in about 30 seconds, and then jog for 90 seconds, and then 200 mts again in 30 seconds. And do this 8-10 times, and after a break of 3-5 minutes, 6-8 times again! The last ones were so difficult I always felt like giving up.’
‘But you didn’t.’
‘I didn’t. And that’s when I won this race.’
