Danny Hi Sanne,

Always welcome to join us, to bad your training sessions doesn’t fit my agenda, otherwise it would be nice to come to the south. to bad you cannot go to Namur, hope to see you at another competition or freediving event this year, keep up the good works and enjoy!

Which - In your case - is a very good level if you ask me! Good stuff. You don’t always have to push the limits, training can also be about maintaining a level.

Indeed always nice to freedive with different people. This session for me had a nice combination of feeling lazy (hence the 4:31) and working hard (the CO2 table). After static I could feel that my legs were tired (must have been the drywalks earlier that day with a single breath in between holds :-( ). Sometimes training with different people motivates me to do just a little more. This time it didn't, but it is good to know that I could stick to a plan anyway even though I was more in a 'lets have tea and chat' mood. Eric Hi Sanne,

It's a good decision indeed, Keep up the good work.

At the moment I try to stick with cycles consisting of 3 kicks then a glide. On 25 meter lanes I do a total of 3 cycles, on 50 meters I still have to try this cycle out to find out how many I need but I aim for 6 total cycles. Also in the video I hold my arms alongside my body, I'm breaking up the motion for training purposes. So with a normal dynamic I would have my arms extended all of the time. As for lowering the kick-cycles, for me I found that upping the cycles created a better overall movement, because the amplitude was smaller and thus had a better motion. At this point in time - as the video also shows - I'm still a bit too high with the kick-cycle, but as technique gets better this will fade away and hopefully I'll be able to do it in a relaxed rhythm. Too bad your fin had the wrong blade stiffness, because this new fin has already done a lot for my technique improvement. Hopefully you'll be freediving with it soon!

Hopefully the next few times will feel the same or maybe even better. Did it one time now, and it felt pretty good! Hopefully the next few times will feel the same or maybe even better.

In my training I started focusing on lowering the kick cycles (better technique, correct weighting and more awareness of the movement) and that makes a difference. P.S My Glidefin arrived but it's the wrong blade and wrong stiffness (#3 out of 3 - way too stiff). Now I'm sending it back to the Ukraine for a replacement. Have to stick with the MD 1 for one more month... Sanne, thanks for posting the video (I feel really special now :) )

I'll be glad to see the video :) Now I use a MD 1 monofin (old school model from the late 80s) and leg alignment is a big issue, because of the lack of angle. Hopefully my Glidefin is coming soon... Regarding kick cycles - which technique do you use with the new fin (kick-glide, kick-kick-glide, etc)? Indeed, your alignment seems superb. I’ll be glad to see the video :)
