Well, not really, it's raining here in Central Illinois. But things are still great. I got in a really good swim last night and my cardio is feeling great. I need to get a run in tonight if it's not too cold and wet outside, but I feel great.

Mentally I am amped today, for several reasons. I'm an MMA fan and have trained some in Jui Jitsu and Mui Thai, I feel like I could jump in a ring right now and have so much fun. I would fight with a huge smile on my face and not care what...

More pool training...

Posted October 6th, 2008 at 21:12 by ILDiver

Well Sat and Sun were in the pool and I'll go again tonight. Sunday was a little more laid back as I was doing scuba skill sets for my instructor course.

Saturday though I did several 25yrd underwater swims with no fins and surface laps with a freestyle stroke. I also did some lengths with my monofin to work on technique. I need to video myself to see how I look. I have not had any training for the monofin, so I'm going by what feels right, but I'm certain that I'm missing some...

Swimming....4 out of 5 days....

Posted September 25th, 2008 at 20:11 by ILDiver

Saturday the 20th I headed up to Wheaton College to meet up with Wreckrunner. He got us into the pool for some training. It was a good time. They have a 13ft deep end which allowed us to practice clearing while using some FRC and negative techniques. We did some No Fins dynamics too. Overall, a good training session.

I stay at Wreck's place Sat night and on Sunday we went up to Wisconsin. We hit Rock Lake with Whopperhead, Tass, Jon and dotey. There was not a lot of activity...

Conditioning.....

Posted September 13th, 2008 at 22:08 by ILDiver

I'm trying to move forward in my freediving goals, but I'm stuck on land for the most part. But I have to keep focus on my goal. I need to get in shape and get my circulatory and cardio systems to peak condition. After taking Level III I know what to do, I just have to find motivation to do it. I would like to compete at least once next year, so I have a longer term goal.

I really don't mind swimming laps to get in shape, but finding a pool at times that I want to be there is...

Still Going Strong

Posted September 11th, 2008 at 22:04 by bite ya

It's been a while since i posted a blog on here as i now use my blogspot which is linked onto my signature.

My training is going well since i have found these forums and since i started talking with everyone on here i have taken a different approach to my training (statics and dynamic)

Diet is good and prepairation before training is still experimental but showing signs of improvment.

My static times have been consistantly over 5mins with a 5min 32sec PB...
