Does anyone have an advice or inpit for building up your lungs? I am trying to hold my breath for longer periods after reading an article about it but it seems like I should be doing more. I want to get better before I actually join the group in my area.
I interviews Michael Phelps for a story on swimming once. One of my questions was how do you breathe? He said he hadn't thought about. I tried to provide options--do you suck in a big breathe and hold it till an explosive blow out? Or do exhales slowly and steadily. He said he honestly did not know-he hadn't thought about it.
At first I found this hard to believe. But later, I thought that maybe the best way to swim is to go with what feels right to your body, and leave it on autopilot as much as possible, no over thinking, no indecisions and hesitations, just enter that primitive brain inside our ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny style evolutionary process that starts out as single celled organisms, moves up in the womb to odd aqautic denizens floating in our own waters, and so forth.
Tap into the wisdom of our incommunicatie forerunners, and hope for the best.
