Chapter 453 Jake Vacations 5

This car that would be sent to Miami Jake would give it to his mother and only use when he was in town and so he would advertise, Jake was happy to receive this car because he knew it would be strange to ride the McLaren F1 to some public places in Los Angeles.

Also, even though the McLaren F1 was an amazing car it still wasn't a good car when you had to ride with other people in the car, so the corvette zr1 would be good for him to use and if someone asked why he was driving the car he could say it was because of the sponsorship.

Jake was happy that a lot of good things were happening to him this year and especially in the last few months, he hoped he could win in Chicago and Athens because afterward he probably wouldn't have time for marathons until the next Olympics.

Later that day Jake told his mother that he had received some Adidas products and that he would receive two Chevrolet cars and Eva was very happy for Jake, Jake had also asked Mike for some products for women and handed over one of the boxes for his mother.

The other day Jake waited for Coach Davis to continue training on the track that was in his house, for someone who had a lot of money as Jake had certainly helped to have an athletics track, a court and a gym in his house so that he could train better with more comfort.

That's why he had the same thing done at his house in Los Angeles, other athletes didn't have the opportunity to do that and Jake had to take advantage of this advantage that he had, so he hoped to become the best in marathon history.

After Jake finished the warm-up exercises, Coach Davis arrived and Jake started his race from that day, Jake knew it would be more difficult and was determined to get even if he suffered more.

Jake was wearing the Adidas sneakers and clothing that he would wear on the day of the Chicago marathon to get used to the outfit, Jake used the company's sneakers before if they were good but not as good as the elite sneakers for athletes.

Even so for Jake, it was not a big difference and it only brought more comfort to his body while he ran, just like in the previous days Jake had no difficulty after passing 20 km.

Naturally, he felt that he was pushing the muscles in his legs a lot more and the fatigue was a little greater, but the 20 km was not even half the marathon and Jake could not get tired at this distance if he wanted to have a chance to finish the marathon in the right time.

Coach Davis, unlike other days, was also closely monitoring Jake's performance for this training, if he felt Jake was at risk of getting hurt he would ask Jake to stop.

After driving 30 km Jake really started to feel tired and more pain in his legs, it was the pain of the effort that his body was making to keep up with the pace that Jake wanted to run, but Jake still felt he could finish the marathon.

After passing 40 km Jake clearly realized the strong fatigue he was feeling and the pain in his legs was stronger, Jake was not used to trying so hard and reaching that limit, but as he was determined he kept running.

Coach Davis can also clearly see that this running pace was the maximum limit that Jake could reach today, it was admirable how Jake improved in just three days if training and knowing Jake as he knew after a few weeks Jake would be able to run up to 50 km all the days at that running pace.

Jake continued running without fear because he knew that his body was much stronger than before and he had confidence in the statistics that he had achieved with a lot of effort, besides, he knew that if his body really couldn't take it he would be warned by the system before getting hurt.

Fortunately, Jake managed to run another 3 km and finished his training of 43 km and fell on the track exhausted, Jake had managed to run at a pace of 2 minutes and 51 seconds per km and finished that 43 km in 2 hours, 2 minutes and 33 seconds.

This was an incredible time that was just a little bit longer than his previous time running 42.2 km, and Jake did that time in 43 km, which meant Jake did the 42.2 km in this training in 120 minutes and 16 seconds.

So Jake did it in 2 hours, and 16 seconds, that was just 17 seconds slower than the time he wanted to break, it cheered Jake and Coach Davis even more who thought this effort and training had been worth it.

This was a running pace that Jake wanted to train until the Sydney Olympics in 2000, if Jake managed to run 50 km in daily training running at that pace he would feel that the training was really paying off.

After training Jake felt his leg muscles aching, he felt very tired too, but he didn't eat the stamina bar because he knew he had the rest of the day to rest and with the natural recovery his body had the other day he would be fine to run again.

Jake also thought that if he felt this pain he could maybe improve his endurance and muscle strength and maybe even increase his stats if he trained hard, neither Jake nor trainer Davis talked about trying to improve this race time and they decided that this would be Jake's training until the Chicago marathon.

After that marathon, he would still have the Athens marathon, but Jake had to train before the Chicago marathon because he intended to try to break his world record again, but after the Chicago marathon, he would train to run the 10,000 meters and 5 thousand meters.

It was only 2 years until the Sydney Olympics and Jake had to be ready to run there, he needed at least two years of training to have more confidence, luckily he had already trained the 10,000 meters and would try to improve his time for a break at least the Olympic record and thus try to win at the Olympics.

With the NBA and basketball games, Jake didn't think about participating in international athletics competitions anymore if he didn't have time for that, so the Olympics were the focus of Jake's training.

If he managed to break the Olympic record in all his training he was more likely to win in both modalities in the next Olympics and thus break another record and maybe come out of the next Olympics with 4 gold medals in total as long as the gold medal that he won in Atlanta.

Coach Davis said nothing to Jake not to make him vain, but he was sure after those last few days of training that Jake would be able to run in time to break the Olympic record in the 10,000 meters.

After all Jake was currently able to run 43 km at a pace of 2 minutes and 51 seconds per km, for the 10,000 meters Jake needed to run only 10 km and he had to run at a pace of 2 minutes and 36 seconds per km to break the record worldwide in this modality.

And he could run at a pace of 2 minutes and 42 seconds per km to break the Olympic record that was his goal, Coach Davis thought that for just 10 km Jake could calmly run at a pace of 2 minutes and 42 seconds without getting tired.

Of course, at this rate, Jake could only train once a day for 10,000 meters and not train 3 times a day as they did that year, but knowing how Jake's body was different from an ordinary athlete, Coach Davis thought Jake could train only once a day and still be prepared for the Olympics.

It was different for the 5,000 meters, but Coach Davis had already trained athletes of various modalities and knew that Jake had the necessary agility that was more important to run the 5,000 meters and was not so important for the other long-distance races.

Even if Jake didn't manage to run the 10,000 meters sport, only the two sports he would run would already guarantee a special place for Jake in the history of athletics, he certainly would already be known as the best athlete in the marathons in the history of athletics.

So Jake had already set his training pace for the next training until the Chicago marathon, Jake knew that his university roommates would go to Chicago to cheer for him and Zack too, so Jake was excited about it.

Jake came home in pain, but happy to get what he wanted and feeling again that his training was being useful to him, Jake rested for a few hours to prepare to make dinner for Eva.

While he was getting ready he received a call that was expected by him a few days ago, it was Kate who was calling him as she often did when Jake was in Australia, they were getting very close and talking a lot on the phone while Kate and Jake were busy working.

Kate had agreed with Jake that she would call him because she would choose a time when she wasn't working and didn't have her manager around, which usually worked because Jake could almost always answer his cell phone and if he couldn't he would text her she.

"Hi Jake, how are you?"

"Hi Kate, I'm fine, happier because you called me today."

"Hahaha, you always say that you said you were going to leave filming in Australia the last time I called you, are you in Los Angeles now?"

"No, I'm in Miami at my home right now, I took advantage of the fact that I wouldn't have games in the coming months to be with my mom and also to train for the next marathons."
