Static Apnea training and a new PB


I've enrolled for a freediving course, so I'm trying some of the training exercises from the manual before the course starts. In doing so, I managed to increase my static Apnea PB to 3:54 min (previous was 3:36). The process of building up to it gradually, meant it was a much more enjoyable experience and a good half hour meditation.
