Day 39 - Intensive period

Tomorrow starts my two weeks of vacation. I've made some plans to do more intensive training period. Now my routine has formed the following:

• Monday - 45min Yoga
• Tuesday - Stretch with packing + O2 Static
• Wednesday - 45min Yoga 
• Thursday - Stretch with packing + CO2 OR O2 Static
• Friday - Pool with depth + DNF
• Saturday - off
• Sunday - 2 hours pool with Dyn + DNF (sometimes max attempt)

I do feel the positive effects of training. Mainly I feel that my energy levels are up and dropping some weight and eating healthy has brought really positive mental uplift. The next two weeks of vacation I intend to do training twice a day. The morning starts with Yoga session, static or with pool training. On evening I intend to do gym, stretch or pool. After this there will be weekend's training camp, which consists of dynamic max attempt.

Another thing I should start doing is pool static. This can be done mostly on sundays, where I can get safety to watch me.

The target competition for Northern Apnea Games are getting closer. I feel excited but reassured due to all the training. I had a argument with my coach about if I should feel competitive and if I should have strong will to win the competition. This was when I declared my aim is to do my best solid performance.  I think all the top freedivers I have talked with don't think their performance as a competitive against other divers, if all, this is deemed counter productive. I still feel my approach is the best for me. I don't feel that my goal is to win anything or to be placed on any ranking position.
