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!

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.

This week reminded me that freediving progression is more than just mastering leg kicks. It’s about balance—relaxation, timing, arm strokes, and synchronization.

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.

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.

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!

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.
