  • A highly active anaerobic system is a red flag, not sustainable, a la Maffetone.
  • Take a step back and focus on developing the aerobic base?
  • Managing panic attacks. Lucho and Tawnee share insight.

  • Figuring out aerobic threshold training heart rate when fat-burning exceeds the 180 Formula MAF HR.
  • Are you giving up potential performance to be an extreme fat burner?

    Love your podcast, keep going!

    Why does Peter from Vespa modified the Maf formula in his ofm protocol. You sure know this, it’s called mmaf (modified Maf method). For what i understand the more fat adapted we are, more fat is burned at a higher bomb so Max fat burning zone in fact is higher then maffetone says. So my question is simple which one is correct?

    Cheers!
