maybe the name isn't super great I practice it as basically "take deep breaths and hold to the edge of comfort/discomfort", I don't really count

Interesting. The edge of discomfort is about thirty seconds for me (sixty when I'm in practice, peak of 120 when I'm *really* in practice), which seems a lot longer than is being recommended.

might be using a different discomfort threshold, I mean like when it stops feeling effortless

Hmm, yeah, though you don't achieve long breath holds with effort. It's more like relaxing into it. You can't "do" breath holding, you really do have to stop doing the thing that prevents you from holding your breath.

Yeah I thought you'd enjoy me framing it that way. It's 100% accurate though. Maybe you'd enjoy checking out a free diving course in the aftertimes?

https://www.notanx.com/courses were pretty good when I did them - I attended one about a decade ago.

I went from a 30 second breath hold to a "slightly surprised instructor tapping me on the shoulder after two minutes and telling me I could come up for air now" breath hold over the course of the single day foundation course.

Just testing this out now a static breath hold of 60 seconds is still pretty easy. It's a little uncomfortable for the last 20 seconds, but the "no actually I'd really like to breathe now" reflex starts to kick in pretty hard coming up to the 70 seconds mark.

I expect given access to a pool and some practice time it wouldn't be hard to get back to two minutes.
