racing heart rate & MAF

Hi, I just read The Big Book and started building my aerobic base 4 weeks ago. Its only 10 weeks to the NY marathon which doesn't leave me much time. I was thinking another 3 weeks building my aerobic base, then 3 weeks of adding anaerobic training before finishing off with 2 weeks of back to aerobic training. I know these aren't specific ...

switching from a high intensity/low(ish) volume based training to MAO?

First I'd like to say that I have a tremendous respect for whatever magic you guys do here. I read tons of positive reviews and results from MAO. I am a precious few weeks away from completing my current training plan and hopefully my first Ironman. So far, I have spent 2 season training, the first was self-coached ...

Maffetone Method questions

Hi (anyone that will answer) - I am a 40 yo female with a few triathlon seasons under my belt and I've done one IM. For the past few years I have been plagued with injuries, not necessarily all due to training, but now I feel that I am ready to begin training again. I have a few questions: 1. According to your max aerobic HR formula ...

Re: "Working your heart" 180-Age has no health/medication adjustments ?

Will do. One interesting thing I have already noticed is that my ''normal'' runs (every second day) are 5.25miles and always end (by design) with a HR of around 118, and everything still seems quite normal and my cadence remains extremely constant. My weekend ''long'' run is 6.25miles/10k and ends with a HR of around 124, but (and this is ...

"Working your heart" 180-Age has no health/medication adjustments ?

Your great article ''Working Your Heart'' uses the 180-Age formula, but it does not include any of the adjustments for health/medications that Phil Maffetone originally included. Can you provide some additional background why they are no longer appropriate? I would be interested, and since the formula and adjustments are widely ...

Maximum Aerobic Heart Rates

Hi Mark and Luis,One question: I've noticed that you position an interesting HR approach for training (180-age+5 in my case = 149) as maximum aerobic heart rate. Would that HR be the same for everybody with my age that practices 7+ times/week? I have a friend who trains for triathlons as well, but his max HR is 185, while mine is 207. ...
