Anyone has a good cardio-apnea (bike) training routine?

[BlueIcarus]

Nowadays is my only option during the week:

- Bored of statics and apnea walk
- No training buddy

Have a bike trainer @ home (displaying HR, Watts, Cadence, etc)..
I already know how much power I should put in it to simulate (+ or -)
finning @ water (i.e: relaxed biking) , but what kind of series to do??

I have the following in mind:

-Hold while biking, one ventilation, hold again...
-Hold for 30 seconds, breath 30 seconds (both while biking), repeat...
-Hold for 30 seconds, breath 30 seconds (only bike during hold), repeat...
-Apnea piramid:
Breath 30 seconds, hold 15 seconds. Add 15 seconds to both and
repeat till you can't hold anymore. Then go down
-CO2 table simulation (boring and time consuming)
-O2 table simulation (more boring and more time )
-Holds of 50 seconds every 2 minutes
-Sprints of 20-30 seconds every 1'30'' (@ 200 Watts)

Main priority is to spend the least time possible on the bike doing this training
with maximum benefits (like 20 minutes two days/week) and that it is the only apnea training I'm going to do. Any suggestions about apnea-bike routines (which had lead you to better performance)?
Main goal is just to be comfortable at the water. I guess I mean CO2 tolerance. No dinamics nor static goal.Just go to the sea every two weeks and be in good apnea shape

Thanks for reading,

Hi Oscar,

You need to leave the city my friend, you know it makes sense.

come to the coast we are all waiting for you, then we can go dive together, and ride bikes in the mountains.


see you soon i hope, Johnny. :wave

Thank you so much for the offer, crazy johnny, but my weekends only have 2 days
I'd love to go EVERY weekend to the sea, specially near your place!!
This season I'm going diving every couple of weekends or so to Tabarca, near Alicante, only 4 hours by train . Have 2 weeks of holidays (last two of July) and the first of September too, so hope meeting with you and Adrian! Also have a new training buddy
here that would like to make his first dives there...
As for the bike.. this weekend I'm going to do some trail biking at Gredos.... yeeehaaaa

BTW: I bought another mask, but I lost it again!! Maybe the smell of the green smoke from my friends have something to do with it
