    Maffetone Method...what's your experience with it?

    I am with mokaman on this. The great thing I have found is that after some months of MAF it feels like there is more horsepower when you do run faster.

    Maffetone Method...what's your experience with it?

    BL, the frequency has been the same, every other day and the distance has been similar. You can probably get a better deal on the Maffertone Method which is his older book but has similar information. I have also found that running MAF has kept me injury free, focusing on form. MAF is just one...

    Maffetone Method...what's your experience with it?

    So, for me pretty much all I have done over the last 6 months is barefoot MAF and a half marathon and I have made those gains. Not intervals or temp runs, no change in diet, or footwear only MAF usually every other day. A good is the The Big Book of Endurance by Dr Maffertone? All the best BL.

    Maffetone Method...what's your experience with it?

    Lee, From a sample of one, myself I have found the combination of barefoot running and MAF to be steadily improving my endurance and speed over the last 8 month or so. I went from a mile or so of heavy footed running and ankle pain to enjoying pain-free barefoot half marathon distances. I run...

    Maffetone Method...what's your experience with it?

    Just goes to show how much I needed to improve. Still a long way to go. I am now mainly running at a target 135 and will do so through May and June then I need to kick it up to a lot of speed work for a 4 afternoon rowing event that kicked my butt last year. All the best.

    Maffetone Method...what's your experience with it?

    Congrats on your progress. Another thing I find is that even longer runs, 10 miles or so leave me energized and refreshed when running in the MAF zone. Good luck with your progress.

    Maffetone Method...what's your experience with it?

    Most Aerobic Function running is helping as shown by barefoot runs last week. Mad mile pace has gone from around 9:00 to 7:50, 5K pace has gone from 9:20 to 8:20. Recently ran 7.5 miles at 143 BPM at a 10.40 pace making it 2 minutes faster than in August when I ran 7.5 miles at 144 BPM at a...

    Maffetone Method...what's your experience with it?

    I have been using the MAF approach for much of my running since August last year. My goals are simply to enjoy injury-free barefoot running and to earn extra endurance for running the Marine Corps Marathon in October. For a long lifer like me the HR is relatively low and the pace slow. Sample...
