5:00 Static Hold
Five minute breath hold
The title kind of says it all. I hadn't been practicing breath-holding for about a week because my brother and Andrea were visiting. I wasn't expecting to break 4:00 - much less 5:00 - which just goes to show it's all in my head, as usual.
Here's the routine:
- "Pack" to full four times, hold ~:30
- Ten very deep, full breaths
- Hyperventilate for ~:30
- Hold breath
My goal is a 2:00 free-dive by Sunday. I'm crossing my fingers.
