using the MAF method?

using MAF.
Hi, I have been
using the MAF method for 5 months.
I have just begun
using the MAF method because I would like to burn fat for fuel.
MAF is an «open system» designed so that individuals employing other methods can still
use the MAF philosophy or some of its various components to achieve better results.
For this,
we use the MAF Test — a simple running speed test at the aerobic threshold — in order to track the ups and downs of aerobic speed (and therefore aerobic capacity) across time.

We then
used a randomized permutation test across SNPs within the genome (1000 replicates) to test if the clustering in levels of differentiation was unusual, given the genome - wide distribution of FST
MAF > 10 % values for individual SNPs and fixed differences.
The progress is quite good, I
used to run around 8:20
MAF pace when started and now run 6:55 mile pace at my
MAF effort on the track.
You now have an accurate
MAF heart rate to train below in order to increase your «butter burning» capacity as you teach your body to
use more fat at higher intensities
MAF is an open system that can be
used by itself, integrated into any approach you may be currently
using, or help you start all over again.
Our new
MAF iPhone App has a
MAF Test function that you can
use to take your
MAF tests systematically and observe the development of your aerobic system across time.

MAF Test results of a runner during a 19 - month training period
using the same relatively flat 5k course.

MAF heart rate to burn more body fat, improve health, develop endurance, and increase recovery.
I rarely reach my
MAF HR in the gym by
using weights, only by doing exercises like burpies, jumping jacks, mountain climbings, etc..
MAF is method and a philosophy for how to cultivate and maintain a healthy and fit lifestyle,
used by elite athletes and individuals of all walks of life.
More intensity than
MAF and the anaerobic engine works more and more, from now on the body will start to
use also type 2 fast twitch muscle fibers,
use sugar for good, and start accumulating lactic acid.
I think it would be a really cool test to do it for real and to measure the RQ (i think this is the name — where you measure how much fat or sugar you burn) to really find the
MAF HR for each situation alone: - one where slowly and smoothly increasing the power on the bike
using both legs, - one where doing the same thing but only with one leg.
It doesn't matter that the body is capable of having a good fuel system, meaning a good fat burning at 140 BPM, as long as at 130 BPM the body is
using the anaerobic muscle fibers and producing anaerobic waste it means we passed the
MAF HR (of that context — performing one leg only).
(amazing to see sometimes you have spent 10 - 20 % of a run above 148 HR if you don't keep an eye on it)-- Conduct regular
MAF tests on both bike and run (I
use watts for bike and pace for run)-- Keep blocks of anaerobic work no longer than 2 - 3 weeks then return to aerobic work only.
I'm 24 years old and have been
using 180 -24-5 = 151 bpm for
MAF.
In other words, we
use the first first mile of a
MAF test -LRB--15 sec) and not the full test because the first mile is a better predictor of marathon pace.
Tawnee Prazak embraces the
MAF Method on her popular podcast show, and also
uses it to balance fitness and health, for herself and coaching clients (more...)
Build your aerobic base first, by
using the 180 - formula and the
MAF test.
I looked into
MAF a bit further and found out about the difference between slow & fast twitch muscles, what they
use for energy and which is best suited for which type of activity.
The reason that most people perceive
MAF to be very easy is because they have a very undeveloped aerobic system: their aerobic metabolism is so weak that their brain can send relatively little voltage to their muscles before they have to start
using anaerobic channels.
The problem is that at heart rates higher than
MAF, energy needs outpace both (1) the breakdown and
use of fats for energy and (2) the intake and transport of oxygen, meaning that the body has no choice but to engage anaerobic channels — not of a particular muscle to fuel that particular muscle, but of the muscles across the body as a whole, in order to feed the metabolism's additional energy needs.
What does that mean for my aerobic training — should I
use different heart rate values (
MAF) for running and cycling training?
If I
used the formula correctly, my
MAF rate would be 126 or 116 to 126 (regular meds and chronic allergy - like symptoms).
I am eating breakfast while doing the 2 week detox because I want to do it the way you recommend, but was wondering what your thoughts on IF were when

MAF method, because I'd like to go back to it once the detox is over (in a few days).
But I'm not suggesting the below -
MAF HR training is actually causing the asthma, it's just that something has changed (quite dramatically) from how I was before, and I thought that perhaps it was that my lungs aren't as strong as they
used to be (because I'm not exercising them as much without high - intensity training), and therefore not as resistant to the stress or allergens that cause the asthma.
I'm not sure where I said that you stop
using fat below
MAF.
I have been folllowing the

MAF test.
I was trying to understand why your body would ever
use glycogen below
MAF if fat was available, which I believe you answered in specifying that liver glycogen in particular is responsible for maintaining blood sugar levels (for the brain primarily).
The idea of
MAF is to develop your aerobic system in order to
use more fat for fuel, for the reasons you mention.
You generally
use a lot less glycogen — particularly liver glycogen — below
MAF.
Why does your body stop
using fat as an energy source and switch to glycogen if you remain at or below
MAF?
This is why Phil
used to train great triathletes such as Mark Allen at a near - exclusive
MAF pace.
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.
