The past two weeks have been all about finding my training rhythm and diving into the diverse types of drills presented by Umberto Pelizzari in his book. Each session has been a step closer to understanding how to balance effort and recovery, technique and endurance.

These are my trainings—a blend of structured routines and personal adaptations. If you’re curious about the specifics of each drill type and want tips on how to incorporate them into your own practice, stay tuned for my upcoming posts. There’s much more to share!

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.

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 ✌️

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.
