On this episode of Ask the Coaches, the first of 2017:
- Quick discussion on a great blog post by Steve Magness: What Actually Matters – Concepts of Details?
- On cleanses as we get into the new year: How about thinking about it a different way and an opportunity to ADD more to your life, not restrict!
- We are doing New Year cleanse/reset over at lifepostcollective.com, and looking to add and enrich our lives – not just restrict. Tawnee shares a few things she’ll be adding to her 2017 including more turmeric.
- Some sarcasm and fun from our Swedish friend, PÄR TÖRNHULT
- If you’re at triathlete, should you bother with all MAF training if you can only train 7hr a week? Or is it not enough of a stimulus? Or can you mix it up? (And those 7 hours include SBR, so less than 50% of that is running.)
- Is the heart rate associated with LT, AeT, and MAF all the same?
- The biggest factor that separates MAF from most other approaches to training and setting HR zones is that MAF focuses on METABOLISM to set your target HR, whereas most other approaches focus on the CARDIOVASCULAR system to set zones.
- MAF wants you to be in fat-burning zones
- How does this correlate to AeT, i.e. aerobic threshold and LT, lactate threshold
- MAF training for those healing from plantar fasciitis can be promising to stay injury free
- MAF progress going from 11:30 to an 8:23 pace at 138 heart rate, but after that it went back up to a 9-9:15 pace then plateaued – what to do?
- Changing the stimulus: it’s either volume or intensity that needs to change!
- Followup on the acid reflux issue mentioned in this recent show with Dr. Maffetone.
- Health specialist chimes in to add advice: “The athlete complaining of reflux said it got bad on the swim and worse on the bike. I would have liked to know how his race day tri suit, aero time and race pace diaphragmatic involvement played into significant increase on pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter. Sometimes we can dial in exactly what we eat but don’t take into consideration how food gets into or stays in our stomachs. Particular attention to pressure around the waistline, aero position, and when/how one eats can also have a significant effect on reflux. Because we are already depleting precious blood supply to the GI system, absence of gravity (swimming and aero position) can take a toll on esophageal motility.”
- Former power/speed athlete transitioned to endurance and is now doing triathlons and Ironman but unsure of aerobic efficiency. How to decide to go with a MAF-based plan, or Friel, or what… how to choose; how to know; what to do?

On this episode with Dr. Tamsin Lewis of Curoseven, we dive deeper into female issues, how to be a healthy fertile female athlete and Q&A:
- Tawnee shares personal details about regaining her menstruation once she made the decision to stop being such a hard-hitting athlete, and the time it took for her periods to normalize.
- The value of tracking your female health and cycles.
- Tamsin shares more of her story from pro triathlete to regaining health and her pregnancy.
- Depending on the situation, normalizing one’s period after years of amenorrhea can take time, even years.
- A crucial variable in proper HPA axis function and healthy hormones for a normal cycle is energy availability (how much you have once you subtract energy expenditure from energy intake).
- Questions from female athletes:
- Competitive female endurance athlete wants to start a family with her husband. She recently stopped taking the pill and hasn’t gotten a period back yet. Is it normal for a woman’s body to take time to readjust after being on the pill for so long or is there potentially a deeper issue to address?
- Are there certain tests to determine if there are underlying problems?
- Scale back on exercise (and if so to what extent)?
- Supplementing? Thorne Basic Prenatal and what else to be healthy before baby?
- Breastfeeding while training and racing an Ironman – are there special considerations? Was very active during pregnancy, so this is not too much of a new extreme.
- Bouncing back to great fitness postpartum – faster than before! But what can female athlete moms expect as far as performance after weaning and hormones regulating?
- Does breastfeeding or not breastfeeding (i.e. the hormones) influence performance?

On this edition of Ask the Coaches with Tawnee and Lucho:
- Is there a difference and/or pros and cons to doing a bulk of your MAF/base miles on an incline vs. on a flat surface besides the slower pace on inclines?
- Clarifying the difference between junk miles and MAF/aerobic training?
- Junk miles: Anything that is helping toward your goal(s), or, worse, working against your goal(s)!
- If you’re freely and loosely exercising and not “training” (like Tawnee mentions) this isn’t necessarily junk miles because there is the health benefit to being active!
- A triathlete who raced Ironman Kona this year chimes to discuss the severe gut, nutrition and hydration issues he had, and wants some advice and answers as to what was going on to avoid these problems in the future.
- Our podcast with Paul Laursen in which he discusses hydration guidelines and how to race well in heat.
- Hyponatremia risks and knowing how to properly hydrate to stay safe
- When racing the marathon: push harder and take risks, or run conservative for a “safe” race?
- On one hand we need to set realistic goals, on the other hand we should take realistic risks!
- Mental toughness and central governor talk
- Learning how to believe in ourselves and not feed negative thoughts that work against our race outcomes. (No “I can’t”!!!)
- Tawnee’s ‘Mental Toughness’ series on LifePostCollective.com. Join now and get the first month for just $1 with code “holiday2016”.
- Followup on sweet spot training for running – is this basically polarized training if your intervals are around threshold and VO2max?
- Are longer intervals at 10k effort considered a sweet spot for running?
- How much training can be “intensity” and discussing risk vs. reward?
- The Stephen Seiler video on his research that is the basis of polarized training
- Takeaways:
- DISCIPLINE! Easy must be easy, hard must be hard. Don’t run up a hill on an easy day! Also remember many research studies are looking at elite athletes who can handle the stress because it’s their job!
- “Training at LT is too much effort for too little gain”
- How about not training very much at MP at all! Instead: polarized, sweet spot, etc.
- What are the details of high intensity? Comes down to “tolerable accumulated duration” – how long at what intensity can you tolerate? I.e. 90% for longer duration more tolerable than 100% for shorter duration.
- “Effort matching model”
- Polarized as not just short very hard efforts of <3min, but harder efforts for 4-8min at ~90% (sweet spot?).
- It’s not so much about periodization; rather, just a lot of work happening, and most of it low intensity – but as you get closer to races, hard sessions get harder and easy gets easier.
