Our latest podcast features an interview with the amazing Dr. Phil Maffetone. It was an incredibly insightful episode.
D.r Maffetone is known for the MAF (maximum aerobic function) running and cycling test, and for his research into going slow to get fast.
Are you going slow enough in your training to get faster?

I’ve now done my A event for this year and have recently gone unstructured. I may just do a concentrated period of riding at my MAF HR before I return to more structured training.

Here we go, today’s ride. My MAF HR is 122 according to the 180 - age. My understanding is that you keep your HR below this, it’s not a target. Some 17% hills tackled at nice slow pace.
