Did you know this? Every day you do breath hold training, you become more resilient vs. overbreathing. When you exert yourself, your oxygen intake goes up by 300% to 500% What comes in, must come out; in this case, in the shape of CO2. Luckily, as an apneanaut, you have build up ample CO2 tolerance. The result? Your breathing rhythm stays intact, even when you run a mile. Good reason to keep posting those times. 😎 Any of you experienced an easier time during workouts ever since picking this up?

What is going on? As @Manuel Ruep explained, fatigue overrides the "panic loop", making the breath hold "easier". How can you use this to your advantage? Here are some ideas: - Train in dim light, - Do the breath holds before going to bed instead of in the morning, - Do a few light stretching exercises in the morning to down regulate the nervous system.
