Great. Keep the good work goin´Jimmy.

Thanks for the great interview! At 50, it was great to have a story I can relate to. My big take away and reinforcement is the long term health and not beating my body into the ground with "no pain, no gain" methods. Great to see someone in my generation who has had so much success and still improving. I'm looking forward to this next decade! I'm still in the novice arena (18 months running) and just switched over to MAF in mid-July after several injuries. I finished my first half marathon in Boston last week at 2:00:42 (the hills in the last 5k hit hard for this flat lander from Houston :-) ) After a couple weeks of lower mileage recovery I'll start training for my first marathon in January here in Houston. Running steady and finishing healthy and strong are the main goals. I love what Jeffrey said about feeling good after his last marathon and will take that to heart.

Very well said Barry. Congrats on your first 1/2 marathon in Boston, some of those hills there are definitely no joke, especially for flat landers like you and I! Glad you enjoyed the interview. Great goals right there to finish healthy and strong. Wishing you all the best with your training for your upcoming races. Cheers!

Grwt shown today! 😀. Just got back in to maffetone running and ran 6 miles while listening to this show. Thanks for the support!

I am 45 & have not run since I was 15. I have started running & am loving it. My goal is to run a sub 4hr marathon as my first marathon next summer. Going to do this through low heart rate training & high volume. Going to be joining a running group in my local community. Looking forward to being ready for the start line & crossing that finish line!

Can you tell us how you dealt with your disappointment? Did your knees survive the trauma of training for a sub 4 after 30 years of not running? 🤭

My favorite comment... believing in your training and going into the race confidently to meet the challenge.

Well said Amelia!

I started the maf approach 1 week ago i wanna see how far my ethiopian genes will take me. When i was in ethiopia i had a lot of friends who would run every day just to be like kenenisa and most of the runs if not all of them where slow runs and looong thats why i believe that this MAF approach is amazing so thank you for your videos they’re very helpful.

Thanks Floris! I have been watching most of your pod casts and found them very informative and inspiring. This one was great because I could relate to the 131 MAF heart rate. I am 49 and was heartened to see Jeffrey’s progress with LHR. That one sees improvements sooner or later with consistency is surely convincing after this talk. High training volume, low intensity training, clever diet and ample sleep. All this consistently for a minimum 3 months and one can hope to improve... Congratulations Jeffery! You sure have inspired me a great deal! Feel immensely charged to hang in with the MAF method. Thanks! Cheers!

This is fantastic... I have watched almost 20+ of your podcast in last 2 weeks and I am believing more and more on MAF training. My takeaways - Be patient, change takes time, build up mileage over time, have long term goals in mind instead of short term... Thanks for doing this great service to running community.

Thanks again Floris ! This was an exceptional interview for me as it provided a whole lot of context on MAF training at that age group Jeffrey was in. The key takeaways from elevate strava, and having patience in the MAF build up was good. Always looking forward to these sort of interviews !

This is so encouraging! I started LHR training 8 days ago feeling better and making gains! Ran a 10 k race 10/20 painfully slow everyone was passing me huffing and puffing. Thank you for the content

I am so sick of interviewers interrupting their guests that I actually appreciate that this channel lets people talk. I am ok with rambling, I just can't stand interruption

Thank you, I appreciate that. I fully agree, it surely is a fine balance

Thanks Floris and Jeffrey for the great insight in this episode! I'll definitely give Metathon a whirl.

I'm a year younger than Jeffrey. I've run two marathons, CIM 2011 I did a 3:27:19 (BQ was 3:25). 2012 was the year of the massive rain storm, and I did 3:29 something, which given the conditions I considered an improvement. After that I gave up on marathons and decided to stick to 1/2M max. Fast forward to 2016, I decided to run CIM again and get that BQ, but an injury and a death in the family took precedence. I ended up stopping running, and only re-started in Jan 2021 or I was going to go out of my mind with stress. I had bought Matt Fitzgerald's book, but I never really gave it a full try- sticking more to Hal Higdon training. I'm trying to do MAF now, but at 55, maintaining a 125-135 isn't all that slow.... oh wait, should that be 115-125? That might be my problem... I also just signed up for audible and find listing to a book helps take my mind off 'race mode'.

Thanks for another great interview Floris!

Yes! Great encounter of the running kind. Respect and admiration. Take-away: never give up! Thx for sharing.

I just started Maffetone training on August 1st and your channel is fantastic and informative, Floris, so thank you so much for this! This interview is one of my favorites so far. I’m also glad to see that success with Maffetone training can come without going super low carb :-)

Very inspirational; Sharing is divine; Exuberating with confidence;Patience is well noted.You both have fed me enough enthusiasm /motivation.So much so I can run smoothly my first 10 K on October 17/2021 in Toronto with joy,almost near my 73rd birthday.Just to empower the nutritional thoughts "Cruciferous vegetables are all LGI foods as well as small fruits except Grapes.Mane run is the best.

I was about to say that I watched this whole bloody interview and loved it (thinking I was some kind of champion) and then I see dude below @kofuzi has watched it like 12 times. WTF mate.hahaha This is a great interview and I thank Jeffrey for sharing his story. Inspired again Floris!

Great story and nice interview!!

Being almost 50 myself, I love pretty much everything this guy talks about, from his anti "no pain, no gain" message, to his diet, to his Strava app endorsement. I'm a 6 time marathoner, soon to be 7, I don't employ MAF training at all but would one day like to. My PR is just 3:56:50. I have long-term BQ goals myself. Any tips on basic ways of getting started? Should I just read a MAF book? Or Rich Roll's finding Ultra? Are there books you endorse Floris? Oh, and great interview, by the way!!

@@jeffreysilverhomes thank you, Mr. Silver!

Based on Jeffery's logic then he should be able to break 2 hours for the marathon in a few years. 1:18:00 I thought a 5k was 90% aerobic and 10% anaerobic.

Can anyone tell me what is an "Extramilest"? Thanks for the videos.

Elevate is basically a free version of Training Peaks?

im a 56 year old male and I have used your 180 formula and just ran a 10 mile run at 125 HR and 9:40 miles. All was great until 7-8 miles and my heart rate went up to 133 HR. Is that common? Does this indicate that I need more long runs? I had been training at 8:45 and running a bit slower felt very comfortable through the entire run and I had no soreness the next day. Thanks for your advice. We will see if my times improve in the future.

Hi there. Another great video which I find particularly relevant to my own running “journey “ being a 50 + runner training at mainly MAF for over a year now. Went from a 4:12 in my first Marathon (London 2017) to 3:33 in Manchester this year. I’ve been training this summer towards an ultra (Glen ogle33) in a couple of weeks and have managed to get some good mileage volume in (50-60 miles per week) . I have found the “ fitness and freshness “ feature in a Strava very helpful in monitoring my fitness and fatigue levels so my question would be how you’d compare this feature to Elevate for Strava plug in?

@FlorisGierman

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Normal, nice work on your progress, well done. Exciting times ahead with your ultra training for your upcoming race. The Fitness and Freshness features has several similarities to the Elevate for Strava plug in. I suggest experimenting with the Elevate version too, the views and graphs are a bit different, I like looking at the running form numbers from Elevate as well (neutral, optimal, overload). Have fun at your upcoming race! Cheers

This is a wonderful interview, especially now that I am a 54 yr old runner who has just begun MAF training (4 weeks in). My MAF is currently set at 121 (180-54-5). The -5 is for my taking a break of 1.5 yrs from running (I was burned out). I wonder what pace I can actually eek out over time with such a low heart rate. I wonder if running at such a low heart rate/pace (first MAF test was a 10:30/mi avg pace) can have a negative effect on my mechanics, though my cadence is now often around 170. I wonder if running without much speed for 6 months or a year will conjure other possible consequences as well. Anyone have any thought/suggestions?

Thanks for the interview. One question, during LHR training period, will any training that has heart rate exceeding the HR threshold hurt the progress?

@FlorisGierman

4 жыл бұрын

Good question. As much as you'd want to limit the amount of high intensity workouts to avoid too much stress on your body, if you do an occasional higher HR workout, it's fine. As long as you keep it under control and not push yourself too hard, you should be able to work out again the following day without feeling low on energy / sore etc. If you do, take a rest day or go a bit more mellow next time. Cheers

Eh, I don’t know. I qualified for Boston when I was 28 but didn’t run it. Didn’t run for 12 years after that. Based on my current fitness and progression I really don’t think I could qualify again, even with another 2 years of training. My max heart rate is down a lot. A 6:20 mile pace was a breeze back then. Could run it for hours. But I’m struggling to break 6 in the mile now.

Thanks for watching! What was your favorite quote or takeaway from this episode? I would love to hear from you in the comments. Have fun out there on your runs.

Great show today... Soo today I went to a famous running store here in Orlando, FL to get new shoes... I asked two different employees about the Maffetone Slow heart rate running method.. they had no Idea of what that was. Needless to say I lost respect for that store just then.... and this store puts out races and runs throught the year!!!!

Thanks yet again Floris! Great show! Life as it is for me right now, won't allow me to sign up for any race for possibly the next 18 to 20 months. My takeaway from your show today is to utilise this time to be consistent with just the the MAF method and hopefully consistently improve.

I wonder if he would have qualified for Boston if he weren’t wearing the Vaporfly Next %?

@@FlorisGierman sharpie is probably the wrong description. You have a pen in your hand and you start clicking on and off the lid. I hear it starting around the 20 minute mark and it continues to become more frequent. I have a sound sensitivity but so do about 20% of the population. I'm listening with headphones on my laptop so it may be more pronounced on this.

Disagree with this. Only keeping training to low heart rate is like building a house but getting no further than a strong foundation. It's only training one energy system. Yes it's better than 'no pain no gain' but a more rounded training programme would make you faster. I also don't see the point in finishing a marathon feeling fine - that's what training runs are for. Races should be harder and you should feel like you've raced. Ok if your objective is simply to finish a race then fine, but if your objective is to finish to finish as quickly as you can then you have to race it and train at different speeds.

I guess you missed the point here Peter. Building a strong aerobic engine enabled Jeffrey to run the marathon as fast as he could, without stressing the body in such a terrible way as people without aerobic fitness are doing. Regarding the speed work: yes that may help. But it also increases your risks on injuries. On the other hand, there are very successful and fast runners out there, that do no speed work at all during training. Speedwork is not necessary if you are willing to get high mileage in. Cheers.

this guy needs to downgrade to hiking or easy jogging or maybe just 10k runs if hes having seizures all the time. I had worse injuries than everyone here besides this guy I think. Having a seizure then thnking about my long run next day would wake me up 3:24 am scared and rethink doing it. BUt if the doctor says nothing to worry about then I guess he can in the end of November again.
