On episode 23: Dr. Phil Maffetone becomes a RUNEGADE
Dr. Phil Maffetone is a respected pioneer in the field of complementary medicine. Internationally recognized researcher, educator, clinician and author in the field of nutrition, exercise, sport medicine and biofeedback. He's also a songwriter, musician and comedian - he's a shining example of well roundedness.
Dr. Maffetone is known for creating the Maffetone Method (MAF), which emphasizes low-intensity aerobic training, fat adaptation, and personalized nutrition. MAF is based on Dr. Phil's clinical research that yielded the optimal heart rate for one to train at or below.
Come and learn about the MAF Formula = 180 - Age + (Adjustments) and how this yields the optimal heart rate to train at or below for healthy, steady progress over the long term.
Author of over 20 books, including The Big Book of Endurance Training and Racing, Dr. Maffetone has helped athletes, from beginners to world champions, optimize performance while preventing injuries and overtraining.
The conversation explores the intersection of running, brain health, and music, emphasizing the importance of a healthy mind for optimal performance. Dr. Maffetone discusses his approach to training, the impact of stress, and the role of music in enhancing brain function.
We thank Dr. Maffetone for becoming a RUNEGADE.
