    i dont remember the exact reasons why but its dangerous to do in a pool if your trying to max out.

    trying this underwater can be dangerous because if you pass out, your under water and could possibly drown.

    that being said i've gone nearly 4 minutes before in a hottub, but with other people in there in case anything goes wrong. a hottub is a great enviornment to test your max in because the hot water helps to calm you.

    Just because you can hold MORE air doesn't mean you can hold air LONGER at all.

    if that was directed at the statement i made i didnt say holding more air was the only reason. i said it was holding more air and being able to relax.

    i went through a freediving stage about a year ago and i could hold my breath for 4:10 running 0 miles per week. there probably is a strong correlation in swimmers and holding their breath but i dont think there is a strong one for runners. im almost possitive that practicing holding your breath will have 0 effect on your running. its mainly about lung capacity and how flexible your chest/core is. theres also techniques they use (air packing- its pretty interesting google it). also its about being able to keep you muscles relaxed when the hurt starts.
