It’s clear that the weeks of hard training are paying of, but that we are also slowly reaching a certain breaking point. Not so much physical as well mental. All the weeks of serious dedication and training to some clear and well defined goals can be very hard work. And all in all, not even counting the progress in performance, it’s already been some very good 12 weeks. New insights and theories are proved and can help us further in the 2nd half of this year and further to even make a better schedule about how to train.

So, what is going on currently? Slowly Sanne is tapering down. We do this by decreasing the volume of work only. Intensity keeps the same and in some aspects it’s even a little bit higher. The last 2 weeks of the schedule, weight training is completely out and not important anymore. More and more concentrating on the more specific freediving exercises like dry statics, dry walks and the pool schedules.

Also we’ve added some outdoor training again, to get the fun factor into the game. Panheel is visited every week again with great joy. This weekend it’s time to go to Nemo33. Not for freediving, but to see if we still got our scuba skills. Sanne and his girlfriend are going on vacation soon, so it never hurts to do an update and give confidence to yourself that all is good.

Next week is the last week, with Thursday the main day. Dynamic is on Thursday, with and without fins. Next day is rest, and Sanne’s birthday (you can leave him a message on the site… From Saturday Sanne will start his end goal of doing a 7 minute static. Maybe it takes only 1 time and maybe it will take several days. We will see! Training results are in such shape that I’ve got big confidence that he will make it soon.
