Static grind

I've been following the baseline goals set in the SplashOz great post.. I've reached some of the basic starting point, which is 100m dyn, 40m cwt (I think it's doable) and 5min static (struggling). I've been training dry static with no-warmup style for last two weeks. I've been doing it at late evening, but haven't had time to try the mornings how much difference it would make. My goal has been to try to do one max try and keep increasing it. My previous best was slightly over 4mins and yesterday I made 4:26 with quite a ease. Today was much harder. My initial try was botched by swallowing air by accident and I bailed at 2:32. Next try was not a no-warmup and contractions came much harder and faster. My current mental strategy is to count the contractions which start around 2min and now I can count to 80. On a good day I think I could increase it to 100 which would give me something close to 5min.

On a mental side I don't enjoy the dry statics. I would like to, but yet I don't. I think I will continue at least this week to train for dry no-warmup and take short break before Dahab. There is still a bit self motivation do before I can persuade myself to go and train. Even though my results aren't really much yet, it is tough mentally to try to go for max every night. I think now it would be much more easier to approach some number I've already reached. Training wise you can't always try to go over the comfort zone, even it creates beneficial training effect.
