In only a few months

In less than 9 months of training Rami Bladlav has managed to learn how to hold his breath for 8 min 24 seconds closing in on the swedish national record of 9:02. He has also managed to swim 218 metres in a pool on one breath using a monofin. These performances are enough to qualify for the world championchips in freediving and if he manages to perform the same way in official competitions his breath hold would belong to the top 30-35 longest times ever recorded. During his thirty... years Rami has achieved a great deal. He has participated in 13 professional MMA fights and managed to run a marathon in 1 hour 24 min, 29 seconds. Today he is a father to two young girls, while studying fulltime and having a parttime job.

Learning about these achievements many can not help but to wonder the reasons for his hard work and how he structures his everyday life to make everything work

Rami grew up in Iran and migrated to sweden...
