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?
