Problems with the pool statics?
Maybe you'll find relief in leaving the watch on the shore?
I've made myself a different schedule to do the O2.
2 min preperation, a 50% effort breathhold,
2 min recovery, a 50% effort breathhold,
2 min recovery, a 70% effort breathhold,
2 min recovery, a 90% effort breathhold,
2 min recovery, a 90% effort breathhold
By the "effort" I mean I come up with the Feeling that I've got the remain percentage (50,50,30,10,10) left.
I let my buddy write down the times, but only look at them after the last BH, one may even choose to have only comments about style, and just a word of comparison to last time's training.
The benefits I've found in this kind of thaining:
- The focus is on feeling, learninge one's body.
- The training's difficulty is every time the same, no more bad days.
- It kept me of doing a max, or thinking of time, liberating me from the time very much.
Maybe this helps, when you try, let me know your findings.
I'm also very intrested in your "major problem" explain further!
Keep on dreaming,
