Six weeks into MAF and am really happy with the results. Week 1 average pace - 15:40/mi. Week 6 average pace - 13:52/mi. Target heart rate 130-140 BPM.
Very helpful. I am 36 yrs and used to run 10km in around 50 minutes with avg. HR - 190 in starting of the year. after a gap of 2 months (due to COVID lockdown) I started with MAF. First week - 7 km run 5 days of a week (35KM in a week) with Avg. pace of 9- 9.10min/KM. I have to jog/walk a lot. avg HR-146 Second week - 8 km run 5 days of a week (40KM in a week) with Avg. pace of 8- 8.30min/KM. avg HR-144 running - walking - running around 50 KM in a week for last 6 weeks 6th week - 10 KM run 5 days of a week (50KM in a week) Avg. Pace of 7:30 - 7:45 min/KM. but still have to walk around 40-60 meter after every 120-140 Meter run. Avg HR - 141-142. though my runs are super easy. running when HR 135 to 147 -- walking till HR back to 135 Temp around 37-39 degree Celsius. Very hot and humid in Delhi, India Am I doing something wrong here or is it normal? how long will it take me to run continuously without have to walk in between. I am mentally ready to do this for 6-8 weeks more if it will work(seems working for others). Just want to know if I am doing/following the MAF method correctly or need to change anything to get the results. please suggest
Super helpful, bro, thank you! Just wondering; do you feel like music makes a difference? On the one hand, I could see upbeat music potentially raising HR. But on the other hand, if you enjoy the music enough, it might be a distraction that takes awareness away from the exertion...? I’d be curious on your thoughts. Thanks for awesome content :)
I think music is interesting. If you already know the songs, and it is just for enjoyment then it doesn’t seem to change HR much for me. It is when we are trying to comprehend something new that I find it takes more mental energy. Awesome question!

What!! Your pace in 15 ish!! That means I'm on wrong way, dude
I've also been trying to avoid processed sugar. It helps!
Great progress! Keep up the good work!

It takes time for the body to adapt to this type of training. And with the heat it will probably take longer
Thank you, big thumb up, I'm new in MAF running, certainly taks time to get HR low, caffeine & breathing are very important.
Yes! Absolutely!

Can lack of sleep before the training also be a problem?
