"Dr. Maffetone shares his lifetime of experience in helping athletes of all abilities become better." ----Dr. Tim Noakes, author of "Lore of Running""If you don't read Phil Maffetone, you're turning your back on one of the most powerful, probing minds in endurance sports. The brilliance of Maffetone's work is his re-discovery of the ancient understanding that the human engine doesn't need to be fueled on suffering, and that pain is only the penalty you pay for back-burnering your brain. The best advice you could give any athlete, no matter what their level, is to read Maffetone and start over." ----Christopher McDougall, author of "Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe""In the over-populated world of fitness and health books, what does this new one have to offer? The first thing that springs to mind is authority. Methodology is another element that sets the book apart. Because of its tailor-made approach, the book is good for beginners and for those who've read and seen it all, but who are still not performing their best." --Lava Magazine Philip Maffetone has been a private practitioner, health and athlete coach and consultant, published independent researcher, respected pioneer in the field of complementary sports medicine, and internationally recognized educator and author in the fields of nutrition, biofeedback, exercise physiology, and athletic training over the course of his forty- year career. Since 1977, he has used the term “ overfat” and has recommended low-carbohydrate and healthy fat eating.
In addition, Dr. Maffetone dispels many of the commonly held myths that linger in participatory sports—and which adversely impact performance—and explains the “truths” about endurance, such as:
- The need to train slower to race faster will enable your aerobic system to improve endurance
- Why expensive running shoes can actually cause foot and leg injuries
- The fact that refined carbohydrates actually reduce endurance energy and disrupt hormone balance
- And more.
Useful read for any beginner or competitive athlete This book is (extremely) useful to competitive and amateur athletes, alike. It came highly recommended to me from a friend and he thought it would help me as much as it helped him. At that time, he was a highly competitive Ironman triathlete and I was an overweight, newbie struggling to do a 5K. That just says, this book is not just focussed on pros OR amateurs. It relates to everyone because it focusses on teaching basic principles of fitness and how our body works.Dr Maffetone touches on many important aspects that are overlooked by 90% of the people (including active/fit people!) such as aerobic vs anaerobic energy, role of carbohydrates, HR as an effective tool, using FAT as a fuel in long races (you heard it right!). Throughout the book, Phil uses examples of how he helped various athletes and non-athletes in improving their personal records and injury prevention just by improving their basics.The book itself is written in a very simple manner and is an easy read. If you are looking for 10minutes a day/ 3x per week magic workouts/schedules here... prepare to be disappointed. One has to read, digest and apply this information to their workouts and diet. Some of his concepts, might seem unconventional but they work very well. Whether you choose to follow Phil Maffetone's methodology to train for your next race or not, is upto you. But regardless, it provides a wealth of information for any enthusiast in world of endurance sports.Phil Maffetone in one place No-one knows endurance physiology like Phil Maffetone, and it is great to get all his thinking in one volume. I have most of his books but this one is my favorite. Over the years I have trained for and competed in 51 Ironman Triathlons, and 24 Ultraman triathlons, and have had great success when using his methods, and seen poor results when i stray into other training regimens. I'm giving Phil 5 stars for staying relevant with this book.Dr. FoulkA Revelation! Heart rate training was a revelation to me! A former marathoner, after years of being away I decided to get back into running by signing up for an ultra-marathon (yeah, I know...) My main concerns are not getting a competitive finish time - they are simply finishing the race still on my feet. Heart-rate training is just what I needed. Proponents point out that, the longer the race (think 100-milers) the big risk is not going too slow. It is completely running out of fuel or some other disaster that results in that dreaded DNF: did not finish. Though my ultra is only 50k, most people in my gender/age group are on the course for a good 8 hours so hitting "the wall" is a valid concern.Enter heart-rate training. The premise is to run in a zone where you are burning fat. At any given time, you may only have about 2500 calories of glucose in your muscles and liver. If you run out, that is likely the end of your race. But even a slender person has over 100,000 calories of fat available. Heart-rate training allows you to conserve carbohydrate and burn the fat.My first run with a monitor was an easy 6-mile. I had gone no more than 50 yards when my monitor was beeping - my heart-rate was already too high! I found I was working WAY to hard and zipping right by the aerobic zone into being anaerobic, burning sugar. The funny thing is, when I finally tweaked my speed down to where I could jog for extended periods, my first thought was "This is easy - I could run forever at this pace!" Which, of course, is the whole idea :)So why not 5 stars? I don't love the diet. Now, that is not to say it doesn't work. I stuck with it for a week...but as a semi-vegetarian I just got mightily tired of not getting to have stuff like sweet potatoes, rice, etc. To be fair, the initial diet is meant only to be a 2-week test so perhaps this is an unfair assessment. But training with the heart-rate monitor is something I am completely sold on.
