i used to train for this in middle school before i started running and got up to 3:30. the trick is to lie down (you will waste energy maintaing your posture if you sit) and to be perfectly calm and still as long as possible

Actually, its easier to hold your breathe on land. I believe this is because even though your not breathing, your still getting a little bit of oxygen in through the nose.
As for myself, I have a resting heart rate of 22 and can hold my breathe for roughly 4 minutes and 48.23 sconds. In addition, I sport a pathetic 5K PR of 13:20
I guess this is typical here. You obviously made up a ridiculous rhr, lied about how long you could hold your breath, and insulted anyone who runs a 5k over 13:00. You, sir, are an asshole!
I can hold it about 2 seconds longer than it takes for a burrito fart to dissipate
Is there any correlation whatsoever between ability to hold breath and running performance? I imagine the ability to hold one's breath has more to do with training yourself to "ignore" the body's panic reflex when the air supply is cut off.
However, I seem to recall reading somewhere about how Zatopek used to hold his breath between telephone poles on his routes.

I think he was poking fun at some of the other 'typical' exaggerated posters.
World record is 8:13

As was Mr. bullshit. Way to keep on top of things though.
8:13 (especially underwater) is unthinkable! I did 2:00 once in a hot whirlpool (dare from friends). I have also done 40 meters underwater swimming...
anything over 100m underwater is very impressive...specially for runners. you all know that a regular pool is 25 yards (i think, maybe meters) right?
I just did 1:31. It was pretty painful.
Side-note on holding one's breath: at least for me, if I hold it for about a minute, my resting pulse rate will drop about 4 bpm. I've managed to crack the elusive 30 bpm barrier this way...
I think the moral of the story is that when you don't BREATHE you hold your BREATH, you non-spelling ignorant peice of shit. Keep holding your breath, you definately don't need those brain cells.
not long enough
"Breath" is the noun, "breathe" is a verb.
3:30 is my record (after hyperventilation). Very relaxing at the beginning, painful at the end. I'm sure it burns brain cells, though...
Frenchman
my resting heart rate is in the 80's but i can hold my breath for 2.30 mins
Man drowns at apartment when swim contest goes awry
A 25-year-old man drowned Sunday morning after a swimming contest at an apartment complex on West Tennessee Street, Lt. Brian Donaldson of the Tallahassee Police Department said. Eric Barron, a resident of the Boardwalk at Appleyard apartments at 2526 W. Tennessee St., was pronounced dead at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital. While a death investigation is ongoing, the drowning seems accidental, Lt. Jim Montgomery said. The medical examiner's assessment should be complete this week, he said. Barron was swimming with a friend at the complex's pool about 10:30 a.m. He and the friend were trying to see who could hold their breath the longest underwater, Donaldson said. "The victim was swimming, and he came up, and then he stayed under," he said. Witnesses noticed he'd been underwater more than a few minutes and took him out of the pool. Barron was not breathing, and one of his friends attempted CPR. Police, EMS and Tallahassee Fire Department workers tried to revive the man, said Montgomery. Barron, originally from Texas, worked at a local nightclub and had attended Tallahassee Community College, he said.
Was it Typical letsrun poster? He is not from Fla is he ?????Must have been wearing Trainers......ever one knows
Pool Non-Breathing requires Flats.
I've been working on it this summer. It seems that I can hold my breath for about 1:30 doing nothing. And for about 36 seconds while swimming. I am suprised there isn't more data about correlation between cardiovascular fitness and breath holding ability.
-LungStrong (wha..)
Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I can't even go over 35 seconds, dunno if this affects running, probably just means i haev small/weak lungs
