20hrs/wk is a lot of training, about how much a serious Ironman triathlete would do. Does anyone know if he does or used to do triathlons? Anyway, his obviously high level of cardiovascular training lends credit to my notion that cardiovascular training should benefit breathholding ability. I feel it's the only explanation for why I'm able to do a nearly-7:00 static with hardly any apnea experience. I've heard the argument that doing aerobic training is detrimental for breathhold ability, because "it trains the body to consume more oxygen"...which makes no sense.
