Hi all,
I started some dry apnea training about a month ago, in preparation for a freediving course I'll be taking in April. At first I couldn't hold my breath for more than 45 seconds, but last week I was able to do a 3:02 breath hold so whatever it is I'm doing seems to be working.
Since that PB attempt though, I find myself avoiding training. Truth be told, I don't find the training enjoyable at all, in fact it's rather hellish and I'm guessing it would be the stuff of nightmares for a lot of people. So the question is, how much suffering do you guys endure while training? Is there a "sweet spot" where there has to be some in order to progress, but not too much lest you get turned off the whole thing? Can apnea training actually be an enjoyable experience and still get results?
Thx
