In this episode, we talked with Brandon Birchak - he has an elite athlete background as a 2 x NCAA National Champion Diver, high diver, and Cirque artist. He has created a unique athletic/artistic act that involves breath holding for over 11 minutes - and his longest underwater breath hold is over 25 minutes! To develop this skill, Brandon has researched the physiology of breath holding and shares his insights in how this can be useful for endurance athletes.
