What? Easy: learning to cope with hypoxia, hypercapnia, contractions, training your body to react with a quicker and stronger DR, learning deep and quick relaxation, learning the mental preparation, proper breathing, safety, but especially learning to listen to your body signals and being so able to hold your breath without blacking out. All that is much easier (especially for beginners) during a static training than at dynamics where you may be too focused on the physical part or on the distance to be able to care about the above mentioned aspects.yes, I totally agree. but not for static. what is static if not pushing for longer times and PBs?
I am sorry, but static training is not at all about setting new PB - that's the last. Just a cherry on the cake. We have two wet static trainings a week, but only one max session per year, in the club. And that's quite sufficient. Who wants to compete, can take part on the numerous competitions, where he/she can set his/her new PB. That's not the purpose of the training.
Personally, I love static trainings. I'd compare them to lessons of yoga, with similar effects of relaxation and understanding your body and psychics. If you hate it, I suspect there is indeed something very wrong with your training methods. If you push yourself regularly to LMC or BO, then I am not surprised, though.
