There's actually very little to 'learn'. You figure your MAF range, then run strictly in the range until your fitness plateaus. Then you move on in to a more traditional running plan (I would highly recommend either Canova or Hudson). If you run high intensity too far out from your 'A' race then you simply plateau early and can never push your fitness higher. Your fitness ends up looking like a Dr Seuss house rather than a pyramid. <br /><br />Mary- No zone. I'm running ~20-30 beats below LT. It has everything to do with metabolism and getting fast while burning predominately fat. I won't stay in this period as long as I normally do however and I'll gravitate a little closer to AeT (aerobic threshold) once I'm able to absorb it.Luchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992289866901355978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-25435970641883046862010-01-08T07:53:29.894-07:002010-01-08T07:53:29.894-07:00What zone are you staying in during this phase, an...What zone are you staying in during this phase, and what is your reasoning? Is it to prevent injury or is it so you can put up a solid base and bring the pace up while keeping the hr low ? Just curious.GetBackJoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971771566518642672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5857054182085881319.post-54655681159211669382010-01-07T23:29:56.365-07:002010-01-07T23:29:56.365-07:00I am really digging into the MAF and have so much ...I am really digging into the MAF and have so much to learn, and I am fascinated by your rebuilding process. Your's and Chuckie V's blogs, and a Mark Allen article, completely convinced me to work on pure MAF for a 16 week block.<br /><br />Glad to see you back in action!keith_Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13549479968517895768noreply@blogger.com
