  • Can the MAF Method work with a moderate/higher carb diet i.e. up to 300 grams of carbs a day that still focuses on whole food sources like fruit, veggies, natural starches/tubers, white rice and bit of honey.
  • How moderate carbs (not low carb) can still work in your efforts to being a fat-burner and efficient, healthy athlete. It’s all about timing, quality and quantity.

  • What’s more valuable for the MAF Method: duration or frequency? Eg, running less but more days (6-7 days), or running more each day but less days (4 days per week).
