It's a rea...A bit belated, but happy new year!<br /><br />It's a real shame that the 24 hour race didn't come together like it should have. I guess it means you'll have longer to train to snatch back the 24 hour crown from Sonic ;-)<br /><br />Your fitness gains with using Maffetone is something I am pleasantly surprised by. Back in 2010 I experimented with using his Maffetone's Maximum Aerobic Function HR as a guide to training, which meant keeping my HR below 140, but found that my fitness didn't improve at all. <br /><br />With a bit more experience in using HR monitor in training I now believe that my MAF is much higher than Maffetone's formula would suggest. Estimating my MAF based on the lactate threshold HR of ~176 I get a MAF HR of around 158. If I used Maffetone's formula 180-age now I'd get 136. This big discrepancy is probably why I didn't benefit from using Maffetone approach - I was simply running too slow to develop my aerobic system fully.<br /><br />I'm curious, what HR did you use as a guide for your Maffetone style training runs, and what is lactate threshold HR? And max HR? It'd be useful to know these so I can see if I can calibrate my MAF HR better.<br /><br />Best of luck with training and racing this year.<br /><br /> Robert Osfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960356368117573952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039390797669625550.post-48499148074980616442014-01-05T10:44:46.973+00:002014-01-05T10:44:46.973+00:00Happy New Year Debs

That's a seriously impressive yearly mileage too! <br />Caroline x Carolinenoreply@blogger.com
