[J Campbell]

When you say "all rests 2:00" - do you mean 2 min rest followed by breathe up? Or do you literally end one static and start the next 2 mins later?

I end one static and I start the next one after 2:00 (no separate period for breathe-up). I am using the Static Apnea trainer app by Aled Thomas supplemented by my wrist watch in case I want to do additional 4:00 holds at the end.

 

[J Campbell]

That sounds tough. I see you are making good progress in your statics. Congrats!

400m warmup

Stopped there. I have sinus congestion and I don't want to damage my sinuses.

Sunday 7/29/2018

trail run/walk ~5.2 miles

Been doing this about once a week for the past few months but I haven't been logging it since it is low intensity. Today I really pushed it though. Head was pounding from sinus congestion.
