Apnea Running

[Mariana Trench]

What do you think about this kind of exercise? Today I tried first four apnea runnings after four apnea walks warm-up and my Opinion: IT IS TOTAL MASSACRE!!!! It is pretty much worse than walk and stair apneas. First two runs was about 1 minute, the third was 1:05 a the last fourth was 1:10 (recovery time 4-5 minutes between each run)... At this time (about 2 hours after last run) I can still feel headache and stomackache, evocated by extremly high level CO2 in blood. So I expect improve in walk apnea and stair apnea times with consenquential effect on my STA times. Have you any experience with this kind of training?

For a while I did FRC apnea running, my best was about 230m in 0'47". With inhale or packing it would be much longer. I think it is a useful exercise, but extremely stressful on the body. I think no more than 2 reps per session, every 2 days.

I agree. It is very stressful for body. 2 times max! Yesterday four runnings was too much. I have still (after 20 hours) bad fellings in stomack, head and legs!
