Week Summary
Week 41-42 | Summary - 🟥 + ✌️
Week 39-40 | Summary - 1️⃣3️⃣3️⃣m DNF 🎉
Two weeks of progress: after a short vacation, I returned strong—5:20 STA and a new DNF PB of 133m. Small technique changes made a big difference. More training insights and tips coming soon—excited to share what’s next!
Week 37-38 | Summary - 1️⃣3️⃣1️⃣ DNF 🎉 + 0️⃣6️⃣:0️⃣9️⃣ STA 🎉
Overcoming setbacks and unlocking new PBs—131m DNF and 6:09 STA 🎉✌️. A shift toward relaxed, mindful diving and refined technique paid off. Training now focuses on 75m dives for better body awareness. Progress, not perfection, is the path forward.
Week 35-36 | Summary 🟥
Despite solid prep and near-PB dives in training, I struggled during the recent competition due to poor sleep, long travel, and stress. Two failed dives were a tough lesson, but I’m refocusing on managing competition-day challenges and growing from it.
Week 33-34 | Summary ✌️
The two weeks before the pool competition were tough—switching from depth training, limited pool time due to rest and travel, and vacation plans disrupted my routine. Still, a no-wetsuit session in another city helped me stay mentally connected to training.
Week 31-32 | Summary 🟥+4️⃣2️⃣m CNF✌️🎉
Focused on technique and control, I trained for a local comp with 20m depth and a 2m hang. Despite a setback post-illness, my prep paid off—I hit a 42m CNF dive, a new personal best!
Week 29-30 | Summary 1️⃣5️⃣5️⃣m DYNB ✌️🎉
The last two weeks were focused on rest and dive safety awareness. I trained rescue scenarios, improved safety procedures, and had strong sessions both in water and at the gym. I achieved significant dives, including a 155m dynamic bi-fins personal best.
Week 27-28 | Summary 1️⃣4️⃣0️⃣ m DYNB 🎉✌️
Another week of freediving progress! I hit a DYNB PB of 140m, and completed very good 112m DNF dive, both feeling strong. Depth sessions were rewarding, and I explored CO₂ and hypoxia training. Plus, an insightful exchange with Michaela Werner on freediving journey, lessons learned and mindset.
Week 26 | Summary 1️⃣2️⃣5️⃣m DNF 🎉✌️
This week brought major strides in my freediving journey. Without chasing records, I focused on consistency and technique, hitting a personal best of 125m DNF 🎉. Extra gym and pool training are paying off—stronger, more streamlined, and more focused than ever!
Week 25 | Summary ✌️+🟥
This week’s hypoxic training showed real progress. Hitting 108m DNF on a full breath was a huge confidence boost, proving I have more in reserve for max attempts when I will add few air packs. I also repeated my 50m pool sessions with less effort, improved breath control, and better awareness.
Week 24 | Summary ✌️+🟥
This week, I pushed my freediving limits with RV training, refining awareness and control. My 100+ DNF dives felt more conscious, and depth training showed improved efficiency. Even a failed 108m DNF dive taught me valuable lessons—success motivates, but failure teaches best!
