Hold your breath longer in 5 days - Feedback. Pt.2/5
Day 2 - Calm in the Chaos
-----------------------------------------
BEFORE: It was early in the morning, right after sleeping. I remembered my old CO2 tables when I did them (right after my base freediving training), and I was feeling curious how it would feel now. Also, I knew it should be a DNF leg-day pool session in the evening, so I decided to go more easy on myself.
X-PAND: I did some light stretching right before starting the CO2 table.
X-HALE: I did purge breaths (still, my purge breaths told me right from the beginning that I'm hyperventilating because I felt dizzy and tingly in my fingers, and heavy on my head), so I took my time with deep belly breathing to reset.
I also enabled a beautiful ambient on my YouTube to see if it helps (from my previous experience, it didn't help but I gave it a try).
X-HOLD: I wrote a CO2 table in Apnea Freediving Trainer for myself so it wouldn't conflict with YouTube song playing in the background. The times were fixed but quite good: I set them as 2'40'' (allowing myself to hold less if I need to - I still remember day 1, there was a sub-max, so should be careful).
Well, everything was easy. I thought in a moment I could do this table with 3 or even 3'15-3'20'' times, so it would be some time for comfort, some time for urge to breathe, and some contractions time. There were no contractions, just a slight urge to breathe in the end. No matter how short was the interval, I felt the same while holding, it was easy.
X-PRESS: I did all the exercises as it was intended, and quite honestly, I felt like I could do a breath once a round, but I still took 1 breath between each exercise as it was intended.
X-FACTOR: calming ambiend music was actually good, not sure if it helped, but, I was feeling good. I hoped that it would change my mindsed into the dreamy one when I will daydream about my future freediving when I'm exploring the reef or relaxing in my own coral garden underwater, staying really long there together with my family and friends... Still, I just 'functioned through' - no difference with me existing when breathing, no some unordinary reaction. The time felt the same.
Please tell me what do you think?
Below is my Freediving Trainer diagram chart when you can see my pulse (don't know why it doesn't show saturation level but it connects weirdly to my band).
