Podcasts

Below is a list of podcasts I've found useful regarding MAF discussion

Endurance Planet 

Taken from the website

Endurance Planet is the premiere online destination for runners, cyclists, swimmers, triathletes, and adventure racers who want inspiration and education from podcasts, videos, articles and products to fuel their endurance passion. The show is owned and hosted by Tawnee Prazak, MS, CSCS

It has tons of information on MAF and interviews with Dr Maffetone and Mark Allen and questions from athletes and coaches

 >> Search for Maffetone to find those with Dr. Maffetone as a guest. (They are also cross-listed on the Maffetone website.) These are VERY helpful in assimilating the concepts.


Special notes:
   > The two 2-hour episode featuring Dr. Maffetone and Dr. Tim Noakes is outstanding!

   > Other episodes with Dr. Noakes are complementary to Maffetone training and delve into his Central Governor (brain) theory, low-carb diets, and hydration.

   > ATC (Ask The Coach) 199: 'What You Need This Offseason' does not feature Dr Maffetone but it discusses when to move from MAF base-building phase in the off season to higher intensity training. This is a common question among Maffetone followers.

Primal Endurance

Taken from the website

Welcome to The Primal Endurance Podcast, where we challenge the ineffective, overly stressful conventional approach to endurance training and provide a refreshing, sensible, healthy, fun alternative. Going primal frees you from carbohydrate dependency and turns you into a fat burning beast! Enjoy interviews from elite athletes, coaches, authors and scientists on the cutting edge of endurance training and performance.


 >> This podcast for endurance athletes is affiliated with Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint website and Primal low-carb nutrition.

 >> Search for Maffetone to find podcasts with Dr. Maffetone as the guest, or otherss directy related to the Maffetone Method and training at the Maximum Aerobic Function (MAF) heart rate.

 >> Another interesting one (this won't come up in a Maffetone search): #29, triathlete Graeme Turner, who primed his body for a 70.3 with no fuel, only amino acids.
