Week 17 | Summary 🟥✌️
This week taught me valuable lessons in both training and mindset. After a challenging competition attempt, I realised the importance of rest and quality sleep before pushing for max dives. Focused on refining my technique, I discovered a smoother arm-leg rhythm and gained fresh motivation.
Week 16 | Summary ✌️🎉0️⃣6️⃣:0️⃣0️⃣ 🟥
This week in freediving: Reached a PB of 6:00 STA 🎉, improved DNF efficiency (1.5 moves/25m), and learned a vital lesson after a failed 123m dive. Key takeaway? Relaxation is key, and it’s better to surface early than push through a flawed dive.
Week 15 | Summary ✌️🎉 1️⃣1️⃣7️⃣m
This week, I embraced calm and mindfulness in freediving, focusing on joy over performance. A slower pace, conscious actions, and intentional routines led to a surprising PB of 117m. The key? Relaxation, presence, and trust in the process. Sometimes, slowing down accelerates growth.
Week 14 | Summary ✌️🎉 1️⃣1️⃣4️⃣m
This week’s freediving training taught me the power of relaxation and mindset. By improving sleep, nutrition, and rest intervals, I hit 114m DNF and extended dive times. Slowing down and focusing on the moment made a huge difference. Excited to keep experimenting!
Week 13 | Summary ✌️
This week, I made strides in technique and nutrition. A Fixed Top Time session with legs-only dynamics highlighted the progress in my leg kick strength. Beetroot juice didn’t show immediate effects but improved my submaximal test. I’m excited to refine my diet for better endurance.
Week 12 | Summary 🟥
This week reminded me that freediving progression is more than just mastering leg kicks. It’s about balance—relaxation, timing, arm strokes, and synchronization.
Week 12 | static breath hold 5:45 - pleasant but failed
Today’s training was about simplicity and presence, not performance. No distractions, just a calm, mindful static breath-hold. The gentle rhythm of the water and the absence of pressure created a peaceful experience. Sometimes, it's not about pushing limits, but finding peace within.
Week 11 | Summary ✌️
This week, I focused on relaxation with STOP-GO training and long statics. The calming effect of lying still for two minutes before a 50m DNF swim left me feeling refreshed and connected to the water. Simple, mindful training reminds me of the power of slowing down.
Week 10 | Summary 🟥
This week was a humbling reminder that progress in freediving isn’t always linear. Despite feeling strong, I failed to complete a familiar distance, which led to an important realization: my CO2 tolerance is high, but my O2 efficiency may need work. Time to refine my technique and energy use!
Week 9 | Summary
This week, I experimented with different leg-kicking techniques in DNF training. While faster kicks and stronger strokes increased speed, they drained energy and made me less comfortable. A new rhythm with one arm stroke and two kicks felt smooth, but the 25m pool limited its potential.
