I höstas vann Gustaf Black River Run 100 miles på ett nytt makalöst banrekord (14:05:56). Den här prestationen placerar Gustaf i sverigeeliten inom ultralöpning. Under flera år tränade han enligt Maffetone-metoden, sprang i sandaler och fokuserade på att äta lågkolhydratskost, även på tävling. Gustaf är ett bevis på att MAF verkligen fungerar, men för att kapa tiden ytterligare i år så har han även bytt ut sandalerna, börjat äta socker och skaffat sig support på tävling! 2020 intervjuade vi Gustaf Sjösvärd i podden om MAF-metoden och om att springa i sandaler. Det avsnittet är ett av våra allra mest lyssnade och det visar lite på hur stort intresset är för att lära sig mer om att springa i lågpuls och vilken utveckling det kan ge. Lyssna på det tidigare avsnittet: 169 - Fördjupning i MAF och hälsosam utveckling med Gustaf Sjösvärd Det här avsnittet handlarom hur Gustaf tränar nu, men också om hur han tänker kring livet i stort – vad som är viktigt och hur man som vanlig motionär kanske borde fokusera mer på hur löpningen får en att må än att ständigt försöka utvecklas.

In this episode, Coach Debbie Potts dives into a multi-faceted approach to improving metabolism and boosting fat-burning capacity. By exploring a combination of metabolic testing, personalized nutrition, exercise strategies, stress management, sleep optimization, and lifestyle habits like cold/heat exposure and light therapy, you can transform your energy use and performance. Coach Debbie shares insights from Bob Seebohar's Metabolic Efficiency Training (MET) protocols, covering how to personalize fueling, training, and lifestyle strategies for optimal fat utilization, endurance, and metabolic health. Key Topics: PNOE Metabolic Testing: Discover how PNOE testing analyzes your body's oxygen use and fat-burning efficiency, guiding you in creating a customized plan for improved fat oxidation and metabolic function. Nutritional Therapy for Metabolic Efficiency: Macronutrient Balance: Working with a nutritional therapist to balance proteins, fats, and carbs can encourage efficient fuel use, fat adaptation, and stable energy. Nutrient Timing: Learn the best times to consume carbs and fats based on activity level to optimize recovery and metabolic health. Supplements: Explore metabolism-supportive supplements like magnesium, omega-3s, and NAD+ precursors. Exercise Strategies: Aerobic Training: Understand how steady-state cardio in the “fat-burning zone” can maximize fat utilization. HIIT & Strength Training: Boost your metabolic rate and build lean muscle with HIIT and resistance training. Sleep Optimization: The importance of sleep quality for hormone balance, metabolism, and hunger regulation. Tips include maintaining a consistent schedule, reducing screen time, and creating an ideal sleep environment. Stress Management: Techniques like mindfulness, breathwork, and prioritizing recovery days can help control cortisol levels, reducing abdominal fat storage. Lifestyle Therapies: Cold & Heat Exposure: Enhance fat-burning and metabolism through cold exposure (e.g., ice baths) and sauna sessions to activate brown fat and boost heat shock proteins. Red Light Therapy & NAD+: Support cellular energy and inflammation reduction with near-infrared/red light and NAD+ therapy. Hormonal & Mitochondrial Health: Nutrients like CoQ10, alpha-lipoic acid, and NAD+ precursors can improve mitochondrial function, essential for energy and metabolic efficiency. Implementing Metabolic Efficiency Training (MET): Initial MEP Test: Determine the “fat-burning zone” intensity level for personalized training. Fueling & Training Adjustments: Using MET data, optimize carb and fat intake around different intensities and improve fat adaptation over time. Lifestyle Protocols: Manage stress and recovery to support metabolic health and long-term energy balance.

Phil Maffetone is a fitness expert known for his holistic approach to endurance training. He created the "Maffetone Method," which centers on developing aerobic fitness by exercising at lower heart rates. This method prioritizes long-term health and aims to prevent injuries by balancing exercise, nutrition (emphasizing a low-carb, high-fat diet), and lifestyle habits. Maffetone suggests using heart rate monitoring (calculated as 180 minus your age) to ensure workouts remain in the aerobic zone, allowing athletes to boost efficiency while avoiding overtraining or burnout. Many endurance athletes have adopted this approach.If you enjoyed this episode, you might also enjoy listening to my conversation with Mark Allen: ⚡️Would you like me to coach you? ⚡️https://www.relaxedrunning.com/personalrunningcoach

Discipline is a crucial aspect of training and involves monitoring your body and being true to its needs.Becoming obsessed with a sport can lead to injuries and burnout, so it's important to use our brains and practice discipline.Emotions play a role in performance, but it's essential to balance them with rational thought.Finding creativity in the morning can be a productive time for brainstorming and generating ideas.EPISODE LINKS:Dr. Maffetone's Website: https://philmaffetone.comTRANSCRIPT:https://share.transistor.fm/s/498dcc71/transcript.txtMORE FROM RELAXED RUNNING:Website: www.relaxedrunning.com/getstartedPODCAST INFO:Podcast Website: www.relaxedrunning.comApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2MMfLsQ...RSS: https://feeds.transistor.fm/relaxed-r...SOCIALS:- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/relaxedrunning- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/relaxed_run...

** Replay of Episode 27, Original air date, February, 2023 Anxiety can prove to be extremely incapacitating, presenting a significant challenge to handle in real-time. Whether you're grappling with anxiety personally or seeking ways to assist others who are, this episode offers practical tools that you can begin to apply immediately. In this session, Adam provides three uncomplicated daily activities to help combat anxiety: breathing exercises, aerobic workouts, and maintaining a gratitude journal. Despite the abundance of intricate data surrounding mental health, Adam imparts simple strategies that anyone can assimilate into their daily routine. These strategies can be employed spontaneously during bouts of anxiety, eliminating the need for monetary investment or exhaustive research. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Simple breathing techniques to alleviate anxiety Aerobic exercise for anxiety relief The power of a gratitude journal Episode Highlights: [01:25] Simple Breathing Techniques to Alleviate Anxiety Adam recommends taking 10 deep breaths where you breathe in through your belly for a few seconds, hold it for a couple seconds, then exhale slowly while focusing on relaxing your jaw, shoulders, and hands. Breathing deeply into your belly fills your lungs with more oxygen than shallow chest breathing, which can help calm anxiety. Practicing deep breathing trains your body and mind to relax during anxious moments. [08:14] Aerobic Exercise for Anxiety Relief Adam recommends low-intensity cardio like biking, running, or walking to elevate your heart rate enough to get benefits, but not too intensely. He suggests using the Maffetone method to calculate your maximum aerobic heart rate by taking 180 and subtracting your age, and staying below that threshold during exercise. Aerobic exercise can help reduce anxiety by creating more positive energy and endorphins. It also builds endurance so you can think more clearly during workouts. [11:28] The Power of a Gratitude Journal Start journaling 3 things you are grateful for in the morning to frame your day positively, and again at night to reflect on your day. Writing down things like family, health, or basic abilities like breathing can help shift one's mindset. Journaling gratitude is also suggested as something that can be done during anxious moments to help reframe thoughts. Doing it daily in the morning and evening further reinforces gratitude and a more positive outlook.

What a pleasure to introduce one of the true pioneers of the Paleo/Keto/Ancestral health movement—Maria Emmerich! Maria opens up about her story, which started 25 years ago at age 16 (truly one of the first to follow a ketogenic diet), sharing how she cured some tremendous health problems she had as a teenager, how this led to her writing numerous best-selling books, and her most recent book, Secrets to a Healthy Metabolism. Maria currently conducts keto-inspired retreats around the world, and in this episode, we get into how you can utilize keto and fasting as a tool for lifestyle transformation and improving your health, as well as how active, energetic people with good metabolic health can still adapt these strategies to work best for their needs. We also talk about careers—Maria takes us back to the time when she and her husband both hit a bottom in their professional lives and illuminates how you can turn a corner, build a following, and become a leader in your field. Finally, Maria shares the inspiring story of how she realized a true dream of hers (adopting children) and the steps it took to realize that dream. TIMESTAMPS: As a teenager, Maria discovered Keto and managed her health problems. [00:44] Twenty-six years ago, her vet asked questions about her dog's diet and she realized that her personal physician, who was handling her several health problems, asked nothing about what she was feeding herself. Maria started on Keto. [03:22] There are many people who look healthy to us but actually have Type 2 Diabetes. Dr. Maffetone says 91% of the modern world is over-fat. [11:17] Food addiction is like alcohol or drug addiction except it is more difficult to give up because we still need food. [14:01] Maria went to Ethiopia to adopt her children. [19:42] What are some of the problems with things in the dairy category? [24:21] There could be a problem with people consuming enough protein in general. [28:26] What are the risks of extreme restrictive diets? [29:55] Do you have to choose carbohydrates or fat? It is an individual decision. [31:46] How has fasting played a role in her journey? [36:29] There is a clinic in Hungary where they treat cancer with a ketogenic diet. [37:22] Sometimes fat can be a protective mechanism. [43:28] Maria does Keto retreats in Europe and all over the world.

We probably should have had him on a long time ago, but better late than never. Dr. Phil Maffetone is a coach, author, innovator, and founder of the 180 Formula and the MAF test for heart rate training. He's basically the godfather of the field, which has seen a huge surge in followers over the last decade. He's also been an advisor to music legends like Rick Rubin, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash, and James Taylor. In this episode, we talk about heart rate training and its benefits, as well as his new research into music and its affect on the mind and training. This is a long one, but it was a lot of fun and super interesting! Learn more about Dr. Maffetone's work: https://philmaffetone.com/

This is part 2 of the conversation with Phil Maffetone from last week, and after we resume our discussion around Covid related papers he co-authored, we now start talking about nature and music. (If you haven't listened to part 1 yet, you can find it HERE). Dr. Maffetone has a new book coming out soon which explores the relationship between music, brain health, fitness and longevity. I like listening to music, and I like working out. Occasionally I have music playing when I'm training - piano jazz in the background when I'm doing some mobility work or something fast and up-tempo when I'm doing hard intervals on the bike. And, while Phil loves music, he argues that if you listen to the wrong type when working out you'll end up working too hard and definitely not be in your MAF zone. In general, I like to workout while listening to my body and to nature. There's really nothing like running (or cycling) in the woods and listening to the birds or the sounds of the forest. In fact, if you take a slow walk through the woods (and I mean very slow), you can get into a process the Japanese refer to as 'shinrin yoku', or forest bathing. In part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Phil Maffetone we talk about this, as well as finishing off some of last week's topics around Covid. We also discuss: Sudden death in athletes following Covid vaccines Is ‘long covid' a new phenomenon? Strategies for healthy ageing Forest bathing (shinrin yoku) and its impact on mental and physical health How we can thwart future pandemics with our own healthy living How music can expand the mind, enhance the brain and help you age well If you'd like to find out more about Phil's new book, B Sharp! please CLICK HERE.

I made it all the way to 2023 without getting Covid, but in January I was forced to check out from my everyday life, sleep more, and rest as I recovered after testing positive. I even broke my six-year long streak of performing my morning movement routine every single morning without fail, but this gave me a wonderful chance to reflect on my health and my habits with fitness and food. In this Q&A episode, I talk about if fasting is okay when you have an illness, how to feed your dog in the healthiest way possible, my favorite nutritious carbs for peak performance, and how I feel about doping in sports—particularly in regards to my previous guest Shelby Houlihan's situation. Enjoy the show! TIMESTAMPS: Whenever Brad has an illness, he tries not to eat much thinking that the body can heal itself faster when giving the digestive system a break. [00:47] The first question is from Jordan asking about how to improve his dog's diet. [08:46] Another listener asks about how Brad prepares his intake of liver. He chops it into little pieces and freezes them. [12:55] David De la Rosa asks how do I feed myself during training racing for a long endurance event? Endurance athletes out there should be consuming a ton of fresh fruit and other nutritious, easy-to-digest carbs that work for them. [15:48] Brenna criticizes Brad's comments in the podcast with Shelby Houlihan about her ingesting of a banned substance. [19:47] David from Spain is working on his diet and is concerned about adding carbs. Brad's response is when you have good metabolic health that equals metabolic flexibility, you are going to be able to burn whatever sources of energy you need to thrive. [30:35] David also asks about his training approach. With his very active training approach, he's wondering about switching his tempo runs and intervals with a less stressful Maffetone style.

Je metoda treninga pomembna, ko rekreativec planira svoj napredek ali nastop na tekaški tekmi? Obstaja več znanih in popularnih metod in protokolov, zato sem za lažjo odločitev poklical strokovnjaka. Klemen je razjasnil marsikateri pojem: kaj imajo skupnega in kje se razlikujejo programi McMillana, Steffnyja, Maffetona, Gallowaya in ostalih? Kako lahko kombiniramo trening hitrosti, trening specifične moči in vadbo hitrostne vzdržljivosti? Kaj je trening na laktatnem pragu? Kako učinkovita so pospeševanja? Klemen predlaga tudi trening za maratonca in se posveti začetnikom, vadbi za gibljivost in analiza tudi trening najboljših na svetu. Če niste začetnik, preskočite prve pol ure uvoda. Naj bo ta epizoda v pomoč pri pravi izbiri programa treninga - ki vam ga individualno lahko pripravi tudi Klemen!
In this highlight show, we hear some stand-out quotes from past guests like Dr. Phil Maffetone (godfather of endurance training and the MAF heart rate training model), Brock Armstrong, Deirdre Fitzpatrick, William Shewfelt, and a few others topics like how to effectively change your mindset, applying cognitive behavioral therapy to pursuing practical goals, and the societal prescriptions that don't really fit anyone. You'll find out what it takes to train at an elite level and what are just popular misconceptions about training, what soreness does to our muscles and how long it takes for our muscles to recover, the meaning of “the window of weakness,” how to use a methodical approach to win the body of your dreams and why it's actually easier than it seems, and more! TIMESTAMPS: Brock Armstrong is an expert on diet, nutrition, exercise, working out but also has added cognitive behavioral therapy to his work with clients. Develop a curiosity and be willing to experiment on yourself. [00:36] Exercising in and of itself is a very modern construct. [03:30] If you are watching a video on a technique you are learning, what should you be looking for? Why does Brad want to write books? Brock is explaining cognitive therapy. [05:42] Dr. Maffetone says the stress thing is really what it is all about. The common denominator of the causes of death from chronic diseases has to do with being overfat. [11:25] There are some misconceptions about what is required to train and perform at the elite level.

There are many misconceptions and inaccurate statements made in popular media about the concept, strategies, and outcomes of Metabolic Efficiency TrainingTM. In this episode, Dina presents several of these misconceptions to Bob for a response and explanation to help clear the confusion for you listeners. We break down these statements: Maximal fat oxidation occurs between 60-70% of VO2peak. Is the Maffetone method the same as MET? Burning more fat doesn't make you faster. Any performance benefits seen from a keto or low carb diet are a result of weight loss that occurs, not from the diet directly. Training is really the only factor that improves the body's use of its fuel sources. Female athletes are already good at burning fat.

Varför ska man springa långsamt och hur fungerar lågintensiv träning? Kanske har du hört att för att bli en bra ultralöpare så behöver du träna i lågintensiv zon, men det är lätt att tappa sugen och börja tvivla på processen om det inte går riktigt som man tänkt sig. Vi går igenom vanliga orostankar som många har kring sin utveckling och till exempel pratar vi om varför det är irrelevant att din klocka varnar för att ditt VO2-max sjunker, vilka faktorer som kan påverka ditt MAF-test och vad det kan bero på att du känner dig trött, tung och seg i kroppen. Och vi berättar också varför du kommer att klara en utmaning på 90 km trots att dina långpass är “bara” 12-15 km långa.

This episode of The Sunday Shakeout features a training tutorial on the most fundamental phase of training: the base phase. The winter time is often the time of year where runners will be doing a lot of foundational training to prepare themselves for the track season. Without a base phase, they would suffer badly in their spring track season. However, a lot of runners think too narrowly about base training and that it is all easy running. This episode addresses why the Maffetone Method is ineffective, five key fundamentals to base training, and ways to build your endurance outside of running. It's time to think a little more broadly about base training. As Alberto Salazar talks about, training is like soup and if you exclude some ingredients, it becomes bland. I hope you all enjoy this episode of The Sunday Shakeout. Contact Nicholas: thesundayshakeout@gmail.com Official Podcast Page: https://anchor.fm/andrew-ma4

She has experienced her fair share of injuries and discovered MAF low heart rate training, as a way to ease back into training and gradually increase training volume. In 2020, she joined my Personal Best running coaching program (https://www.pbprogram.com/) and it has been really exciting to follow her running journey over the last few years. At the recent London Marathon, Astrid ran a 2:49 finishing time which was a Personal Best and she was also able to achieve 3rd place in her age category. In this interview we discuss being a working, busy mother and getting the training volume in, about a running journey which comes full circle, through injury, MAF training and exceeds a long-held PB!

Ordway, our not doing anything physical is as much of a shock to our physiological and neurological systems as is running, cycling, and doing CrossFit; however, it's the wrong sort of shock.

Shawn Baker's Carnivore Diet is a revolutionary, paradigm-breaking nutritional strategy that takes contemporary dietary theory and dumps it on its head. It breaks just about all the “rules” and delivers outstanding results. ... Google Books What is a carnivores diet? You eat only meat, fish, eggs and some animal products; you exclude all other food groups — including vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. The carnivore diet boasts weight loss, improved mood, as well as blood sugar regulation. Neither bicycling nor running give your knees the sort of full range-of-motion they need to warm up and lubricate. Only rowing—either indoor erging or rowing on the water—offers a combination of the aerobic load of the a bike and the therapeutic strengthening offered by leg presses, leg extensions, and squats. Summary: let your slow-flag fly, for sure, when you slow jog and slow row; however, please feel free to add power-10s and other high-intensity pieces to your slow, long, steady-state everyday slow jogs and slow rows.

D.P. believes that we all should have a baseline of activity every single day and that should be at least 45-minutes every single day on a Concept2 Indoor Rower. I thought that was my idea but it's not! Mr. Ordway has written two entire books on what I was calling Slow Rowing, Row Daily, Breathe Deeper, Live Better, which I am reading, and A Row a Day for a Year: Set a Goal—Track Your Progress which I just bought and placed into my Kindle queue. I think I have a mantra: slowness. I've always been strong and slow. Even my stroke when I am slow rowing is always slow. I have always been a terrible breather. I am a breath holder.

- I went to a birthday party this weekend. They had music and an open bar- No smoking before and after the party- Also, I didn't drink during the party- The best thing about not smoking weed and drinking alcohol this weekend at the party. The next morning. I had no hangover. I was ready to go when I woke up- It is such a great feeling. And I also didn't need the liquid courage to have fun at the party. I danced and socialized just like I would if I had been drinking and smoking- I've decided to run, or more like a jog, a 5k this October- I am doing the MAF training - named after Dr. Maffetone. The training is exercising at a slow pace using your heart rate- I now jog at a very slow pace. Almost comical. But I have faith that this training will work

Run Faster by Running Slower (and Much More) – The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 096 with Dr. Phil Maffetone Dr. Phil Maffetone's credo is that “everyone is an athlete.” As a health and fitness trendsetter he has perhaps had more positive impact on a wider variety of people than anyone in modern history. From professional and Olympic athletes in virtually every sport, to average people from all walks of life, his system for achieving optimum human performance by tapping into the human body's fat-burning system has helped millions of people achieve their goals in sports, business and life. During his two decades in private practice and beyond, Dr. Maffetone has been a respected pioneer in the field of complementary medicine, bringing the latest advances to health-care professionals around the world. He is an internationally recognized researcher, educator, clinician and author in the field of nutrition, exercise and sports medicine, and biofeedback. Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Dr. Phil Maffetone about running faster by running slower. Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show: Why it's vital for training services to be personalized to the person they serve. How people can take seconds off of their running time by conserving glycogen. Why the body's metabolism changes to adapt to energy needs when intensity increases. How people can get injured because of chronic inflammation due to increased body fat. What the 180 Formula is and how people can use it to their benefit.

On this show with Lucho and Tawnee: Alactic training routines: What does this even mean? The benefits of alactic training, application and exercise examples. Plus assessing your readiness. This came up on the show with Maffetone and Mark Cucuzella, and Mark says at the end of runs he does: ABCD skips, single leg run, […] The post ATC 212: Adding Alactic Training For A Boost, Balancing Health vs. Fitness Goals, and How to Dominate Short-Course Triathlons first appeared on Endurance Planet.
Our guest on this podcast is Dr. Phil Maffetone, coach of legendary athletes Mark Allen, Stu Mittelman, and Mario Andretti. Phil has worked with more than just sporting greats, he's been an adviser to the military on how to make B2 bomber pilots more effective, has worked with NASA and has even helped race horses improve their performance via heart rate training. He's most well known for The Maffetone Method, which is a heart rate based method for increasing your aerobic (vs anaerobic) performance. A simple equation (train at a heart rate of 180 minus your age), it is one of the most effective training tools in any athletes repertoire. An avid proponent of barefoot running and occasionally lifting heavy things, Dr. Maffetone's methods are most clearly distinguished by three things: His extraordinary individualization of coaching, his incredible patience, and his holistic approach that goes well beyond just one type of healing modality. Dr. Maffetone made the transition from endurance performance coaching into music in the early 2000s, so we also talk about how music affects people, how the way we listen to music has changed, and how music can increase your athletic performance (hint: It's not with earbuds!)

Carob is a great alternative to chocolate. Compared to chocolate it has higher calcium count (three times as much), no caffeine content, nor fat, and presents your taste buds with a different experience. It's also high in Iron, Vitamin B, Phosphorus, Magnesium, fiber and protein. Top injury sites for the long distance triathletes includes lower back (17.9%), Achilles tendons (14.3%), and knees (14.2%). Among the short to intermediate distance triathletes, most injuries occurred in the knees (44%), calf (20%), hamstrings (20%), and lower back (20%). A group of healthy, active individuals were instructed to cut back on their activity for 3 consecutive days. What they found was that their blood sugar levels spiked 26% more than it normally would have, and that the spikes increased slightly over each successive day. ----------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: Audio Question from Jennifer: Is liposuction an option or a last resort? Audio Question from Jake: 15 weeks out from Ironman with chronic calf strain. Eric asks: I've been hearing a lot about P.A.P. training and was hoping you could help define what it is and how it may help endurance athletes. Andrei asks: I keep hearing about how after an workout you have to eat to replenish the glycogen storage. Also, during a long training run or a race, you have to ingest carbs to top your glycogen storage. My question is if you can do this with fat or protein, not carbs. Can I just eat fat and protein after an workout to restore my glycogen levels? How about during the workout? Hosanna asks: To what degree does eating unsoaked nuts, seeds affect the bioavailability of nutrients? I was eating a dried fruit, nut and seed mix daily as a significant portion of my diet until I read to limit intake substantially on the paleodietlifestyle website. jeffyt01 wrote: I listened to your podcast with Phil Maffetone and was wondering what your thoughts are on his 180 formula vs how you lay out the heart rate training zones in your Dominator plan. Also, do you need to do more volume when using Maffetone's method? Jack asks: In training for different tri distances, what distances you would recommend for a long swim, long ride and a long run? Also, what sort of bricking do you recommend most? I am especially interested in the Olympic tri distance. Josh writes:I'm a cat 1 cyclist, really pushing myself this year to get some big results. I'm 25 years old, my coach has me doing some solid high intensity intervals and some longer endurance rides and my fitness is much higher than previous years. I supplement with 4000 IU of vitamin D, a multi, fish oil, and EPO-boost daily. As you know, watts per kilo is the gold measurement of fitness in the sport. My coach and I are obviously working to bring the watts up, but I'm struggling to get the weight down. I've been stuck around 170-173 lbs and 10%ish BF forever, I'm an all rounder type cyclist and 5'11"!!!! It's getting frustrating. I can't seem to break through that barrier. I've counted calories, went paleo over the last few years. I'm still gluten free, and was pretty pleased to find that I was following your food pyramid pretty decently before you publishing it. I've had blood work done, and everything is normal. Just can't figure out how to lose the stubborn weight so I can down to 7-8% for my first races. I can't get that "vacuumed out look" like other guys in the sport. I have some stubborn fat around my stomach I think is the problem. I used a body metrix system also. Any suggestions?

In this week's interview, I speak with Dr. Phil Maffetone, an endurance expert and someone who developed many of the protocols used today in aerobic training, including the Maffetone Method. Dr. Phil Maffetone is described as "one of the most sought-after endurance coaches in the world." He entered the endurance sports scene in the late 70's. In addition to working with some of the world's top endurance athletes, Dr. Maffetone has written dozens of books and articles on health, fitness and nutrition, including Complimentary Sports Medicine, Training for Endurance, The Maffetone Method, and In Fitness and In Health. During our discussion, Phil answers the following questions: Why do you say that to speed up you must slow down? What is the 180-Formula? What is the MAF Test? In “Training For Endurance”, you describe several stages of Overtraining Syndrome. What are they? Why do you say that athletes can be fit, but unhealthy?

One tool Dr. Maffetone mentions during our interview, is the ithlete app for measuring heart rate variability. --------------------------------------------------------------- Listener Q&A: Prior to asking your question, PLEASE be considerate and do a search in upper right hand corner of this website for the keywords associated with your question. 90% of the questions we receive have already been asked and answered here at BenGreenfieldFitness.com! ====================================== [contact-form-7 id="6222" title="Ask Ben"] ====================================== Craig has a call-in question about how to organize your gear when you are training. Dave asks: What's your opinion on Intravenous Vitamin Therapy, like a Meyer's Cocktail? Is it an effective alternative for an athlete to do instead of taking 10-20 pills a day? Should it as a one time deal to get your levels back to normal or more of a maintenance thing? I think it would be extreme for a healthy athlete to get an IV once a week forever. Kassidy asks: I was diagnosed with PCOS a year ago and my doctor prescribed Orthotricyclen so it would regulate my hormones. I was very low in progestin, estrogen and the FSH hormone. I am sure there are others but those are the hormones that my doctor mentioned are the most important. I've become more health conscious since then but I am now figuring out that putting synthetic hormones into my body probably isn't the best way to treat my PCOS. I'm 23 years old and I would eventually like to have kids so I want to treat my body well so that I can live a long healthy life as well has have children. I just did what my doctor told me to, but now that I have more knowledge I'm questioning what I should do. Do you have any advice as to what supplements, diet, exercise, lifestyle habits, etc. that I should change? John asks: What is the deal with VDOT and the Jack Daniels training method? As I understand it, you train your running to a pace and not necessarily heart rate or perceived effort. I have calculated my VDOT and paces and the paces seem slow to me, especially the interval pace. Is this method worthwhile? Do you use or others you know use it? Are the suggested training volumes correct? In my response to John, I mention this VDot Calculator Mike asks: My question is related to exercising and giving blood. I am 53 years old, a larger runner (~215 - 6'1") and normally run marathons to mid distance ultras (albeit now nearer the back of the pack) and was working my mileage back up after 9 months of struggling with injuries and inconsistent running. I thought I was starting to make good progress and then I gave blood. I have given blood for 35 years so I thought I was used to the effects but I did the double red blood cell donation and it seemed to set back my stamina more than I remember. I know I can't give blood for 16 weeks, twice the normal 8 week period and I get that the red blood cells carry oxygen but I was still surprised that after 2 weeks it seemed to still be effecting me. The first week was really a struggle, week 2 was better but not normal. So I guess my question is, is this normal and how long does it take for the stamina to return after giving blood and is there any positive effect from exercising while my red blood cells regenerate? Matt asks: What are your thoughts on Smart Balance Peanut Butter? Do you think this is a better choice than regular Smucker's Natural PB? Anonymous asks: I was listening to an episode of Endurance Planet in which you were a guest. You talked about how many people unintentionally over train for races and that there was no reason to do a 20 mile run 10 weeks out from a marathon. I am following a marathon training program that has me doing just that. What type of marathon training program do you reccommend? In my response to anonymous, I mentioned Marathon Dominator. Jim asks: You mentioned on the last podcast you are spending a significant amount of time lately in the sauna to prepare for the 70.3 world championships. I plan on doing the same thing to prepare for Kona in 5 weeks. What do you recommend in terms of frequency and amount of time to spend in the sauna as the race gets closer? Darren asks: I wanted to ask three questions: 1) I had been building up my mileage from zero. I didn't run very far but I made the stupid mistake of pushing my pace beyond my bodies ability and ended up injuring myself. I'm going in for surgery on Thursday for cartilage damage. That won't knock me back but I wanted to ask am I mad getting into Triathlons after one ACL reconstruction and then this surgery on my other knee? 2) What kind of supplements would you recommend for someone with a history of bad knees who is trying to get into triathlons 3) Your BulletProof Knee knee programme is designed for people with an IT Band injury. Would this be beneficial for people with other types of knee injuries? Finally, listener Luke has a call-in question about Triathlon Dominator and Bulletproof Knee programs. -------------------------------------------- Remember, if you have any trouble listening, downloading, or transferring to your mp3 player just e-mail ben@bengreenfieldfitness.com And don't forget to leave the podcast a ranking in iTunes - it only takes 2 minutes of your time and helps grow our healthy community!
