Now Jake just used the system to make sure his running pace wasn't wrong because his body knew how to change the pace for a few seconds faster or slower, this was also a talent that Jake had that was greatly enhanced thanks to the system.

Jake ran the first 2 km and realized that he did not try as hard as he thought in this training, it was almost the same as he felt when he ran the second time the day before, this meant that Jake would achieve more would also suffer a little.

Of course, as his muscles were rested he would not feel as much pain as the day before that he had to run twice, just as Jake thought after passing the 5 km he felt a little tired as he felt when running for the second time in Last day.

But his muscles were not so sore and he just felt that he was trying too hard, so Jake kept running and at 7 km he already felt that he was very tired and he had to control his breathing.

Jake also felt stronger pain in his muscles and even though he knew he could easily run the 10,000 meters he knew that this should really be his limit, just as Jake hoped he completed the 10,000 meters.

But he felt pain in his legs and felt very tired, it was not compared to what he felt after running the second time the day before, but Jake knew that he could not run at an even faster pace without risking suffering one lesion.

Of course, Coach Davis had also realized that this must be the limit Jake could reach, the 10,000 meters runs were different from marathons, in the marathon if Jake was on the limit he could clearly see why Jake would finish the marathon exhausted and with muscle pain.

But in the 10,000 meters, it could often seem that the athlete could try to run even faster and because of that, he ended up teaching himself seriously, so it was important to have an experienced trainer nearby to tell what the limit was.

"Okay, Jake, you put in a lot of effort and now we can know what your current limit is, with this pace that you run for 2 minutes and 38 seconds per km, you could be able to run the 10,000 meters in 26 minutes and 20 seconds."

"With that you can break the current world record at 10,000 meters, if you run at your previous pace in the next Olympics we can guarantee a gold medal and you can train at the pace of 2 minutes and 40 seconds per km."

"When you feel more comfortable running at a pace of 2 minutes and 38 seconds we can try to break the world record, but as you will not be able to train much until the next Olympics I suggest you run at this pace of 2 minutes and 40 seconds per km."

Jake agreed with Coach Davis' analysis and intended to run at a pace of 2 minutes and 40 seconds per km, after all for the 10,000 meters and for the 5,000 meters Jake had a different mentality and just wanted to win the gold medals at the Olympics and don't break any records.

Who knows in the future when Jake had more resistance and agility statistics Jake might risk improving his time even more and breaking his world record, but that was not a priority for the 2000 Olympics.

After Jake defined his training for the marathons and for the 10,000 meters, he just needed to define his training for the 5,000 meters and after that Jake could just continue training for the next years until the Olympics.

The only problem they had was that Jake still didn't know if he would be able to get enough time to stand a chance of winning the 5,000 meters in the next Olympics.

Theoretically Jake knew this was possible because Kenenisa Bekele got it and Jake had the system to help him get it too, but Jake knew by seeing the best NBA players that some athletes were able to overcome what the system could do.

Of course, when Jake got even more stats on strength, agility, and resistance, it would be impossible for him to find someone he couldn't overcome, but that was because he would become a superhuman when he got over 60 stats.

Jake knew for example that athletes like Michael Jordan in basketball, Michael Phelps in swimming, and Usain Bolt in athletics in the 100m and 200m modalities were people that Jake knew he needed more than 60 statistic points to achieve with just the help of the system.

Of course, if Jake trained as hard for it as he did in basketball, Jake could outperform these athletes even without having the 60 stats points, but it showed how incredible these athletes were and that only the system couldn't help him achieve everything he wanted to without much effort.

After a lot of training later that day Jake still went out to spend the rest of the day with Kate, after doing several things in the first few days, they now spent the entire afternoon together going to the restaurant and going to the park and doing various things together.

Jake heard that Kate's manager wanted her to come back to do the shows, but Kate said she wanted to at least stay in Miami until the beginning of 1999 and naturally her manager knew why Kate wanted it.

But thinking about how much work Kate had in the last few years and how much work she would still have in the coming years, her manager decided to let Kate rest for a few months, mainly because she knew that Jake would also be very busy in the coming years when the NBA seasons returned to the normal.

Jake was very happy with this and it had already been decided that he would ask Kate to date him after the Athens marathon that he had to participate in, that was because after that Jake would have nothing else to do until the end of the year and could leave often with Kate.

Of course, even though Jake was going out with Kate a lot, he was still very polite and respectful of her, and he didn't forget his mother and came home every day to prepare dinner before Eva got home after returning from the restaurant.

The other day Jake came back excited to do his training for the Olympics, Coach Davis arrived and soon spoke to Jake about what training would be like on the first day and Coach Davis was very excited after Jake's training the day before.

After all, the time that Jake got the day before for the 10,000 meters with the pace of 2 minutes and 38 seconds per km, was the pace necessary for Jake to start his training for the 5,000 meters, that meant that Jake would run at the 5,000 meters by 10,000 meters.

Running at a pace of 2 minutes and 38 seconds per km Jake could make a time of 13 minutes and 10 seconds in the 5,000 meters after all the current Olympic record was 13 minutes and 5 seconds, so Jake almost achieved the Olympic record of 5,000 meters running in the 10,000 meters.

So on that first day, they would not try the initial time that Coach Davis had thought, they would try with a time of 2 minutes and 36 seconds per km, with this pace Jake could break the current Olympic record and Coach Davis thought that this would be easy for Jake.

Knowing the pace he had to run Jake did his warm-up exercises and started running, Jake was very excited for this 5,000 meters training, after all, from what he had seen the previous day, the 5,000 meters were easy for him.

Jake started his running training and easily passed the 3 km, he just felt a little pain in his muscles, but he couldn't feel tired from that short distance he had run.

Jake continued running and soon finished the 5,000 meters in 13 minutes, he was very tired and with pain in his muscles, Jake thought it would be much easier as he had to run half as much as he did the day before and with a little time smaller.

But it looked like it was more difficult than Jake thought, Coach Davis was already expecting it and was excited because it looked like Jake could still improve more in this training, if Jake could improve even more it meant he could easily break the Olympic record at the Olympics 2000.

Jake also realized this and was excited to know that he could improve his running time even more, especially since Jake knew that this training was only for the 2000 Olympics and that after that it was almost certain that Jake could improve his time at all the modalities.

"You did very well, Jake, you can see how it is not necessarily easier and less tiring to run a shorter distance at a faster pace, you will be able to run like that at 5,000 meters because you can run at 10,000 meters in a very long time fast."

"For 1500 meter races you will need more strength and agility than resistance, so as you are a great runner in long-distance races I would not recommend that you try this, not to mention that the shorter the distance the more athletes have interest in competing in the modalities."

"The most popular and disputed athletics modalities are 100 meters and 200 meters, after that they are 400 meters and so on, so I suggest that you focus on these three modalities than trying to train to win in other modalities."
