Since using MAP, my high intensity interval
training sessions have improved. During my track
sessions I can maintain the same pace or descend
throughout the entire workout. Before using MAP,
I would usually fatigue towards the end of the session,
and my pace would slow down as a result.
I also see improvement in my "brick" workouts. I will
usually go on an endurance ride of 50 miles or more
and follow the bike ride with a 30 to 40 minute run at
tempo pace. When I supplement with MAP, I can
run at tempo right off the bike. Without MAP it
takes me about a mile before I can get up to speed.
I'm a big believer in "you race like you train," and with
MAP I can train at race pace, which corresponds
to faster race results.
Thanks again!

| What’s my training pulse? The Maffetone Method |
|
By Luis Alvarez
In 2001 I participated in Ironman Lake Placid in the
CEO category. One of the advantages we had was that
an eminence on training gave us a lecture. This
eminence was Dr. Phil Maffetone. Dr. Maffetone
trained Mike Pig and Mark Allen, among others.
As I mentioned in a previous article, I use to train to my
maximum heart beat of, 170 + bpm all the time. At this
intense training level for over ten years I was not able
to improve my time in the Ironman. And I was not able
to qualify for Ironman Hawaii, which was my lifelong
dream. Using what I learned from Dr. Maffetone, I have
not only qualified 4 times in the last 5 years for
Ironman Hawaii, but I have lowered my time
dramatically, from 10:58 in 1991 to 10:06 in 2006.

Kona Spring Training Camp-Self -Guided: |
|
|
|
As TS Eliot said, April (and March) is the cruelest
month. He was actually referring to suicide rates, but
to the true triathlete, early spring is particularly cruel.
We are all ready to get back at it. No more leg
warmers, booties, face masks and mittens. We are
ready for SPRING. Unfortunately, the Northeast,
Midwest, and even Florida can get hit by one more
cold front or snow storm. So for the past three years, I
have headed to Kona for two weeks of "Spring
Training" in March. For my money, Kona is the best
place in the US to train in early spring. It's consistently
warm- Air temp in the morning is 73*, warms to 85* for
a high. It is the only place in the US, save for the Virgin
Islands that you can open water swim without a wet
suit year round. In the early spring, ocean temp is
about 78 to 80 '. It has every possible terrain you could
ask for. Long rolling grades into fierce headwinds to
build strength. Or steep grinding 3,000 ft to 6,000 ft
climbs. Or if you are particularly demented, you can
ride from Hilo to the base of Mauna Kea for 9,500 ft
climb over 34 miles. Aside from a little traffic in Kona
itself along Alii Drive, you can ride on a 10 wide
shoulder for 35 miles to Kwaehae, then a 5 ft wide
shoulder from Kwaehae to Hawi for another 17 miles.
Where else can you ride over 104 miles and
encounter two traffic lights? California may have the
climbs, but it doesn't have the warmth. Florida may
have the warmth, but it doesn't have the hills. Early
season you definitely want hills to build your base.
