Q&A: How does MAF fit into my life and why should I do it?

How does MAF fit into my life and why should I do it? Reach us at https://philmaffetone.com/company/contact/ or burnfat@philmaffetone.com TL;DR: MAF develops your ability to use oxygen over time so it helps you in everything that requires oxygen (aka all of life). Taking in oxygen is a big part of how you relax from either a stressful social situation or a hard exercise session — this is why breathing deeply helps for both.

Forum Response - When should you recalculate the 180-formula

Answer to a forum question on the MAF foundations Online Course When using the 180-formula to calculate your MAF HR, when is should you recalculate it? If you end up subtracting beats per minute due to an injury or an illness, when is it OK to "add beats back in", i.e. change to a different category?

Can I train both aerobically and anaerobically and still improve my aerobic system?

Lots of people wonder if they can do anaerobic training during an aerobic training period and still improve their aerobic system. Well, yes and no. The answer is that anaerobic training is always a stressor, an stress inhibits the development of the aerobic system. However, if you play your cards right it is possible to do some anaerobic strength training and expect to continue seeing aerobic improvements... ...watch the video to find out how!

Eliud Kipchoge: marathon world record performance with high carb eating?

A lot of people on the maffetone side have commented on how Kipchoge has a relatively starchy, high-carb diet. In this video I explore, what does it mean for his own athletic performance and health, and what does that mean for the rest of us? TL;DR version has 2 big points: 1) A low-carb, high-fat diet has been consistently shown to improve and support health better than a high-carb diet for regular individuals as well as elite athletes.

Video #4: Should you run races at your MAF HR?

Hi everyone! In this video I'm discussing whether you should run races at a consistent heart rate. The TL;DR version is that you shouldn't run races by heart rate at all, and instead find a consistent speed that you should keep throughout. There's a lot of ins and outs to this, though, so be sure to check out the video!

Video # 3: Do power athletes benefit from MAF Training?

Hi all! in this video I'm answering the question of what aerobic training does for you in the context of a lot of power training and competition. 2 main benefits: 1) Brings the body back into balance after the stress from high intensity training disrupts internal processes like breathing, heart rate, brain function, etc. and improves the crosstalk between them. 2) Gives the body a consistent aerobic training stimulus so that any surplus energy and resources go into building or maintaining the aerobic base. Here's the link to the article I mentioned by Paul Laursen: https://www.ncbi.nlm.ni

Video #2: Aerobic training for a power event (pt 1)

Hi all, I'm answering a question from a user who is asking why does MAF (aerobic) training help performance for a 3-mile time trial for a power-oriented event. This is a slightly more technical answer than my last one, so please give me your feedback!!
