    It's also important to note that every runner is DIFFERENT. While the science behind thresholds and heart rate is pretty clear, thus this formula you're sharing, there's ALWAYS people whose bodies respond differently. I've been a runner since I was in the third grade (im now 28) and even though my resting heart rate is SUPER low, my running heart rate is above the average. I can never stay within the supposed "aerobic zone" for my age. I've had MANY tests done to ensure I'm healthy, everything's perfect, it's just how my heart reacts to cardiovascular activity. So again, TRY as hard as you can to stay in the zones, but also understand that sciencitific formulas aren't a rule, they are an average.

      After I got out of the Army in 2005 I became a slug and didn't exercise at all until this year. I was 215 pounds and lost over 50 pounds in 7 months and started running again. I ran a marathon in October and a 50k on Saturday. I'm a pretty slow runner but after working out with kettlebells for a few months I've noticed my speed is increasing quite a lot. I can run comfortably at 6.0 mph. I'm in my upper 40's and didn't treat my body very well for like 15 years. I'm just so happy that I turned things around. Way to go on your half marathon and PB 5k. I felt great doing a 29 minute 5k at 46 years old the other day. It's my PB!

    to any new runners out there - if you try the maffetone method don't worry if in the first few weeks or month you need to do a combo of WALK/run in order to stay within your range. this is perfectly fine and after a few weeks of CONSISTENT running, you'll start seeing the effects. i also live by this method.

I was at about 12/13 min mile pace sometimes even 14min. But after 8 miles I wasn’t even tired or sore the next day I felt like I could have done more miles. Do you recommend a distance to shoot for for max effect?

      @@jdpst20 that's awesome. stick with it, consistency is everything. regarding distance or time, it's kinda subjective. at zone 2, anything under an hour is typically not helping much. so i try to get 1 long run a week and focus on MAF. for other runs, i mix it up with speed/tempo stuff. and as for distance, a good rule of thumb is not to exceed 10% of prior weeks volume. i build up each week 1-3 by 10%, and then week 4 i back it off, and repeat that cycle starting week 1 at 10% more. this is my prep for an ultra marathon (100 miles) and has been great for building and not getting injured.

Week two I’d shoot for maybe 10-12 miles on long runs week 3 maybe 12-15 and then week 4 back off to 8 miles. Then week two start at 10-12? And so on? I think I have that right.

      Started MAF, had to walk every few minutes to keep pace down. I started around 12min/mile. Your body eventually gets used to it. After about 3 months, I could do 11min/mile pace no walking. Now about a year in, I can run 9:40/mile under MAF. Most of my long training runs are about 10:30 pace - its all good!

    a simplified method of building your aerobic engine without using a heart rate straps is to run easy for the majority of your runs. you should be able to maintain a conversation without much effort if you actually running easy. this will do the same thing nick mentioned, but is less device intensive.

      True, but from the perspective of someone who just started running a month ago, what I perceived as an "easy run" without any type of heart rate monitor was actually well outside of my aerobic zone, which I found out once I started tracking it. I have to run incredibly slow...12min/mile...but I went from _never_ running to running 7 mile routes in the last 3 weeks so it's working at least.

      Question, I am a new runner, and started to implement the MAF method nick mentioned in the video. Right now for me to stay in an aerobic zone (158 or less bpm) I have been running at about a 10:10 minute per mile pace for 3 miles. Should my easy runs be long or is it okay if I stay at 3 miles and gradually build up mileage every week (for example run 3 miles this week, next week 3.25 miles, week after 3.5 miles etc.)

  • @zachbiddle3574

    I think 13:25 is such a crucial part of this episode. Patience is absolutely key when training at your aerobic threshold. I remember starting out and getting so frustrated because I was running soooo slow compared to what I was capable of. But over the course of about 6 months I’ve gone from around a 10:05 min/mile pace to anywhere between 9:15-9:45 min/mile pace at my aerobic threshold and dropping. Be patient with it. Just like Nick always says: consistency is key to success!

    You are addressing one of the biggest misconceptions around running in this video. A lot of people I know hate running, because they're going way too hard every time, which makes them stop running. I myself started out this way, but through some miracle I kept on running untill I found out that running slow builds endurance, not running fast all the time. If everybody knew this, a lot more people would be running.
    By the way, for me personally, 180-my age (I'm 18 years old) is still a bit high. I like to keep my heart rate around 150-155 for aerobic runs. Not based on any science, but more through personal experience.

      @@ryanrobinson8504 As Nick explains in the video, about 80% of your runtime should be aerobic. What distance to run really depends on your level. Look at how much you run right now (weekly mileage). Do you feel like you can barely run that much? If so, take it easy. Do you feel like you can run more? Run more. When to increase your mileage is really a thing of listening to your body. Don't make yourself run enormous distances at once, just for the sake of increasing. When you feel like you can increase your mileage, do so gradually. Maybe add 10% distance. This so you don't overtrain.
      If you have anymore questions, look around on CZcams. There's a lot of helpful stuff out here.

    Garmin watches also have the awesome feature of HR alerts! You can set it so your watch will buzz if you cross your threshold HR, so nice.

    Thank you so much for this information, I always thought that meant to always stay around your Max aerobic rate, not below it.

    And running in your aerobic zone will also greatly reduce chance of injury while your beginning as it keeps your stride shorter while your body adapts into running. I learnt the hard way and am slowly getting back to it building distance and staying in my aerobic hr window..even if it means walking up the hills sometimes. 👍

    You are so right , started running on my own and always went tempo , yes I got fit but to a point never any faster , now just about 2 weeks ago I entered a club , evolve Endurance club in Malta , has kesra my coach , and man I already see huge differences , it takes patience but worth it , commitment and patience is key , training for a full marathon , great video ,keep it up , 30 miles are awesome I usually work with kms 🙏❤️🥇🦁

    Dude for like a year I was keeping my heart rate at like 180, getting as high as 208 running up and down mountains with a backpack full of rocks. All my training runs I was red lining it. NEVER really got faster. I was at like a 9 mile pace and never got better. Then I read this book 80/20 running, and basically he said you should do 80% of training at a super easy pace, and 20% at high intensity. Allows for more volume at slower pace. Instantly started getting faster.

  • @Mdgfievf
    @Mdgfievf Před 2 lety

    You should do blood lactate testing.
    We do that on the national rowing team and it works out your exact (or at least the best estimate) of your hr and pace zones. If you do it on a bike or ergo you'll also get your power zones.
    Which can be really helpful because your HR zone can change drastically depending on fatigue (more so than power I found).
    Sometimes you can be really fuatigued and your heart rate can struggle to get up and on those days you can use pace.
    Then you re take the test every 3-4 weeks and re set those zones.
    Specifically used for t1-thresh hold zones.

    I just started maffetone training today after listening to you on the power project. I'm finally starting to come out of my plantar fasciitis hole! I'm 40 years old and man it is hard to stay under 140 for me. Hopefully I get better at it. I kept it under 150bpm at 10.11/mile, but felt really good for the first time in a while.

  • @tylercarlson7783
    @tylercarlson7783 Před rokem

    This is spot on! Pace is embarrassing. But it improves quick if you are diligent.
    How many times a week have you always run? How many rest days, etc

  • @healthyhabitscoach2621

    I really enjoy watching your running content! I am super interested to know whether, aside from training your actual strength, fitness and endurance, you have done any work on your running form & technique in your quest to get faster? I am becoming very interested in viewing running as a skill rather than simply a function of fitness.

  • @Alahmidi

  • @air7127
    @air7127 Před 2 lety

    His footstrike is so good, I think it's got to be one of the areas his coach hammered on. So many people jump-jump-jump on their knee cartilage and construct 80% of their stride from a long footstrike. I run for like 100m at a time to train myself into that brief, propellant foot strike.

    I've only been running consistently for the last 3-4 months and Ive been doing exactly what you did in your first 2yrs. My logic has been to get better just push harder and force my body to adapt. I'll trust your experience and try incorporating some lower effort lower HR runs.

    • @alexm1841
      @alexm1841 Před 2 lety

      Exactly. Also look into mile repeats, Yasso 800s, and tempo runs

  • @edwin5419
    @edwin5419 Před 2 lety +1

    I trained for months solely at MAF. 40 - 60km per week, following Maffatone's method strictly. Never got any faster at that heart rate. After a week of mixing up my pace, all of a sudden my MAF pace went up and I was running a full minute faster per km at the same heart rate.
    Now I do like Nick said - 80/20 with the 80 being MAF pace.

  • @pm5574

    Thank you I will try this! I’m 58 years old have done 4 1/2 marathons took 2 years off (2019 they found cancer in hubby, but we prayed & God healed him! 2020 was the 2nd year) Then did a full marathon this year. In training with our group there was a guy that ran so slow (he did the heart rate thing) but he ran a full marathon this year too. I checked out my stair workout and my average heart rate was 122. Should I bring it down to 112?

    great video as always! I have a weird question...what's your style for salads? I've never been a big salad guy because I do not want to add too much dressing and ruin the nutritional benefit of it. I was curious to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you and good luck with the 100 miler!!

  • @23mmroadie49
    @23mmroadie49 Před 2 lety +1

    in my opinion the best approach is 80/20 rule but use a Stryd power pod as well as HRM. When you see your power output go up over time for the same HRM you know you are making progress. also if you live in a hilly area, variable temperatures, then relying on HRM alone is not so great. i know more cost, but Stryd has great structured workouts so takes all the hassle of how to do your tempo/track work and at what level of exertion to do as it works it out for you. it syncs with Garmin/Apple so is my view is a winner

    @Johnnyutah001 Před 2 lety

    100 percent correct. Been doing MAF for over 3 years and it works. Marathon PR went from 3:51 to 3:13 at age 45. Funny thing is if you are a new runner I can 100 percent guarantee you a marathon PR if you do all your training at or below your MAF HR...and you will likely avoid injury.
