I listened to an interesting podcast and read some articles on maximum aerobic function (MAF) which I summarized and linked here - https://peakd.com/hive-196186/@noloafing/focusing-more-on-aerobic-training
In other words, Zone 2 is the optimal zone for long term running, health and staying injury free.
Thanks for this. I have been seeing a lot of people talking about MAF training on Twitter & others were using it for their iron man training before the world got cancelled.
One of the things people have said is you should be able to hold a full conversation but I can do that in zone 3 + lower end of zone 4... according to my HRM anyway. I’m not sure if I need to recalibrate my zones?
I want to try and utilise it for long training runs but I think it needs tweaking slightly to be more personable but I haven’t found out how yet. X
