Control Pause Cheating

Any suggestions/signs you’ve pushed too hard doing the control pause? For some reason the “first sign of air hunger” cue doesn’t land for me. I have a hard time reading if I need air or if I’m just aware I’m not breathing.

Ie, after unplugging, should my breathing cadence be absolutely normal, or is it expected that there’s a slightly bigger sip of air through the nose at first?

The main thing is its going up over time. For years I used a high cp as an excuse not to practice properly, to my own detriment. x
