Often when I present information
on the work of Weston Price, I get
feedback that goes like this: native peoples
on their native
diets,
high in animal foods and animal
fat, may have been attractive and healthy when they were young, but they did not live into old age.
For a conventional
high carb athlete we continue to feel the standard Maffetone Method Low HR Training (MAF) approach is an excellent tool for their base and recovery training, however, based
on athlete
feedback and new data is has become clear to us the 180 BPM minus chronological age needs to shift with a
fat - adapted athlete and here is why: The Maffetone Method was developed using athletes who were using a relatively
high carbohydrate
diet.
