What’s this? Another project 13? Well, yes and no. It’s another 13 weeks of training but it will be completely different then the first project 13 we did this year. We ended project 13 unofficially on June 28th with some in-water tests and I was pretty pleased to see the results of that.

So what happened after that June 28th test? Sanne did try some dry statics, but truth to be told while his body still could continue, his will to do so was empty. And that’s exactly why we decided that he would continue his dry statics after his vacation to the Dominican Republic.

But even after his wonderful and relaxing vacation it was clear that it was better to hold of from statics a little longer and in the end, because of a lack of a real training program, he didn’t do anymore dry statics at all until now!

So what did we do in the month August and September? Actually not much at all with regards to freediving training. We did around 6 outdoor freediving sessions and a few pool sessions for the fun of it. And that’s really about it. No dry freediving exercises, just having fun.

So 2 days ago we had a freediving competitions in Wiesbaden, which Sanne will tell you more about in a few days. It was a fun and good competition but not for the reasons most people will think of. It really confirmed some of the things we already found out in the two weeks preceding the competition and only strengthen the ideas and blueprint I already set out for the next 13 weeks.

I’m not going into full detail about it yet, but general goals for the next 13 weeks is for sure lactic acid work, max performance training, the monofin and especially mind game tricks! Like I told you in my conclusion of the last project 13, Sanne his body is in tremendous shape so that is for sure not the problem. We’re going to tackle the rest of the stuff that we didn’t reach yet. With the first project we learned how to fine tune the body and now we have to learn how to fine tune the mind.

So today is the first day of week 1. What does week 1 consists of? To be honest? Not that much! The first week is only there to get used to the new exercises and to train with a training program again. So no freewheeling anymore. Dedication and intensity is once again the thing that will drive Sanne through his exercises. And this week it consists of 2 pool sessions and a few fitness sessions and that’s about it.

See you next week, where I will talk more about some of the different aspects of the new program. And if you want to support Sanne with his new program, then leave a comment on the site! It’s always great to see support from people.
