Week 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!

This week, I hit 5:58 STA (white card) in competition and focused on DNF training (submax and stop-go dives) to improve oxygen tolerance. Adapting to a 50m pool was challenging. Monitoring sleep & HRV has boosted recovery. Shifting focus to training for long-term growth!

The past two weeks have been a deep dive into freediving exploration! Highlights include buoyancy experiments, tweaking weights (even by 50g!) for efficiency, and hitting a surprise 120m DNF PB. 🩸 I’m also focusing on red blood cells, haemoglobin, and iron levels. More soon!

Last week was all about recovery and prep: light depth dives, stretching for flexibility, and rest before competition. Highlights included a 3:26 FIM dive with long hang and a challenging 105m DNF dive without a wetsuit. Proud to earn a white card for both!

The past two weeks brought challenges and growth in my freediving journey. The holiday season pushed me to get creative with dry training using O2 tables, while focused technique drills delivered surprising insights into efficiency and performance

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.

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!

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.
