Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Podcast

The best way to stay consistent through winter * Simon Ward and Dr. Phil Maffetone


Listen Later

This week we bring back one of our most popular guests, Dr. Phil Maffetone.  This show is from the archives, if you can remember all the way back to July 2019.  It's just as timely now as it was then, maybe more so as we're heading into the winter months.

In this episode, Phil discusses:

  • A recap on how to determine your true MAF heart rate
  • The relationship between MAF HR, aerobic threshold, maximal fat oxidation and why MAF is actually better and more reliable than expensive and time consuming lab tests
  • How heat can affect performance, and how to adjust accordingly
  • Why it’s ok to consume sugars from natural sources like honey and berries, and how the body treats them differently to refined sugars
  • Dr Maffetone's simple prescription for a disease free life of optimal performance
  • Why Phil loves fartlek training for intensity
  • What you must do if MAF isn’t working for you
  • In this episode we also discussed the following items/links:

    2 week test to determine carbohydrate intolerance

    The Overfat Pandemic why athletes who do lots of training may still look fat

    Athletes: Fit but unhealthy

    Fartlek training

    The MAF test
