I have finally found time to start practicing apnea.
STATIC
I start off with a pulse rate of 80-90, and warm up with:
1. 2 min breathold, packing and 5 deep breaths, stop on first contraction.
2. 3 min breathold, stop on fifth contraction
3. 4 min breathold,
4. 4.5 min breathold, my current limit
I have around 4 minutes in between each breathold attempt, lie in a pool, floating face down.
Questions:
Is 4 mins between breatholds about right?
Is the number of warmups right?
after this routine I do 3 negative dives (full exhale, leave air in mouth for equalizing) down to the bottom of the pool (5m), first 30 sec, 50, and at last 70 sec. I go up after around 20 contractions (one every second after 50 secs).
Questions:
Should I do reverse packs to maximize the effect of empty lung dives?
Is 70 seconds a terrible time?
DYNAMIC:
I do 10x50 m runs along the bottom of the pool with 3-4 minute intervals.
Question:
Is this too little to be effective?
AEROBIC:
500m crawl.
All in all, this takes me around 60-90 minutes.
-Is the training "dosage" sufficient for progress?
