The MAFFETONE METHOD SUCKS - Try This Instead

The MAFFETONE METHOD SUCKS IF YOU Live in Hilly areas but I share how you can fix it. What is the Maffetone Method? Well, it's Heart Rate Training (a.k.a. MAF Training) and its really all about keeping your heart rate low (zone 2) while running to make sure that you are developing your aerobic system, the ability to burn more fat for fuel and to stay injury-free. MAF stands for maximum aerobic function.

There are lots of Benefits Of Aerobic Base Training For Distance Runners.
Aerobic base training is easily the most important part of every endurance athlete’s training plan. Apart from improving the overall level of fitness, it also prepares the body to tolerate more workload later in the season.

For distance runners in particular this period is a perfect opportunity to gradually increase the total duration of your runs and overall weekly mileage.

I started using the MAF method, but stopped after 2 months. I did use the Jack Daniels (not the drink) method, of doing an all out 30 minute run, and take the average of the last 20 minutes of that run and put it into the excel sheet which produces the zones for you. Much more accurate because the MAF method doesn't take into account people with a natural high or low heart rate. For me it was a difference of 5 bpm, which may not sound like a lot, but it's the difference between plodding along and jogging.

Depends on what I am doing that day. If I want to do an Zone 2 workout, I set it to the max heartrate it allows me to work on that Zone. For me it is 150 bpm. I run and when it hits 150 and beeps. I stop and walk for 1-2 minutes. Then do it again. I go by time for Zone 2 training. If I doing tempo work, I set it to the highest heartrate which is 165 for me. Once I hit that max, I stop and walk 2-3 minute recovery. I do a time based approach. For speed work, I set it to the max HR for that given Zone which is 177 bpm. I max out my heartrate for that Zone. Then walk for 3-4 minutes. Then do it again. Time based as well. You can get a great workout in just 20 minutes. 20 minutes of speed work does wonders for your overall base speed. I could careless about pace because pace improves once your body becomes more effecient. If you can cover more distance with less effort, then you have done the job.

Searched for "the plant powered runner" scrolled down the results list randomly and POOF it got me here. Cannot click "Like" as I've already done before. I rarely comment but to beat YT to suggest your videos more frequently I'll do: I love watching you running around on trails (or towns) in all seasons and weather talking about this and that. Lovely to see what other parts of this wonderful world look like, and how you brave the elements. Today after work I missed a sunny intermezzo I was starving and freezing, and then it started to rain at near freezing point and now I regret but Dave, thanks for your mantra GET OUT AND RUN! Will do tomorrow in the morning!

I read in one of your videos that the increase is also recommended with injuries. I will go to surgery in 2023 for meniscus. So, as the coach told me, you don't recommend increasing the mileage, he told me 40 minutes, let the long run be a maximum of 1:00 hour

Problem is that you Are overfat. So ye MaF doesn't work .. maf is not just about hear rate .. best of luck..

[TheSilmarallion]

One thing great about Karvonen based HR calculation is it takes fatigue into account if the athlete is fatigued then the HR calculation includes that. In my mind and opinion the best method or calculation for HR based workouts.

Love the channel bro. You have a new subscriber from me 🙂 keep killing it 🤘

[nicholasgreen]

Love the channel. One question. Where is your pup? I haven't seen him in any of the latest videos. Hope he is well.

[Golfnut]

Glad to see you trying other heart rate methods. Hope you found your way home

Must admit I've spent 4 months on MAF and not seeing much improvement in pace .
I did get faster on couch to 5k I did prior but I didnt like my HR was hitting 95%.
I tried higher on maf (140-150) but got sick however I was still getting sick without training but I feel generally I was getting sick less often .
95% of my "runs" are walks up from 70% . Now my pace is getting slower and slower even with additional rest . My HR is 185 at 40 so considering going from 130-140 to 135-145 this might get me 20% jogs. Karv method calc has 60-70% at 138-150.
Just feels like everything leads me to getting slower, whether thats increased HR then sick, or lowering not getting sick but pace at Dane hr getting slower with time . I've even tried going 5-7x (each one hour) a week with the low heart rate .
I did gain some weight on maf so that didn't help

I didn't catch the name of the method your saying and I don't see it mentioned in the description. The Kuburban method?

[evanhadkins]

Do you have a sense if using Karvonen improves your aerobic base as much as MAF?

[thanasispantazidis]

good evening, this week I have done 30 km of running, I will add 10% and then the 25% will be deducted?
