Day 31 – Forgetfulness? | My Road to a 6 min Breathhold
What I learned! Today reminded me that I’m capable of more than I sometimes believe. Before starting the table, I was convinced it would be too difficult for my current level.

Day 30 – The wizard of O2? | My Road to a 6 min Breathhold
What I learned! Today, I decided to let the app guide my session instead of letting my coach play with the timing.

Day 26 – Good Morning 🙂 | My Road to a 6 min Breathhold
What I learned! Today was my first morning static session in quite a while, and it felt very different from my usual evening training.

Day 25 – Tables | My Road to a 6 min Breathhold
What I learned! This is nothing new for those who have been following my journey from day one. Today’s CO₂ table was all about staying calm through the contractions—accepting them instead of fighting them. I focused on moving as little as possible, relaxing every unnecessary muscle, and letting my mind drift somewhere else. Every session…
