As I’ve inscribed to the Apnea Academy Amsterdam Club pool-freedive competition, the schedule for this weeks training had to be changed a little bit.

Monday: Drywalk, Fitness & Cardio
Tuesday: Freediving specific
Wednesday: Drywalk, Fitness & Cardio
Thursday: Freediving specific
Friday: Drywalk
Saturday: Relax
Sunday: Competition AAAC: Static & Dynamic

So I had to plan my schedule with almost the same amount of exercises, but planned it all within a shorter amount of time. Leaving only Saturday as a relax day before the competition, which should be time enough.

Monday’s and Tuesday’s training
My drywalks are making it’s way to where I left off at the end of last season, not performance-wise, but mentally. Whilst doing a drywalk I reach a certain point where the mind fakes me into believing that I can’t make it any further, but when I ignore that impulse I can still walk the last 40% of the drywalk. Making monday’s 2 minute drywalk mentally different than last week’s drywalk.

The 1300m freediving specific training so far is progressing it’s way to the point where no decline is noticeable. Beforehand I did a planned 70m DNF, where my technique was improved already since the last training. The improvement was mainly because I put the weight back around my neck. I could instantly notice that I had more glide, due to my position being better. I tried to focus on the technique part as well, but altering to many things at once is never good. So there still remain enough improvement points on this one…
