Morning all, First time post on the forum, love the new format especially the calendar! Already planned way into next season!! I’m wondering if anyone has used the MAF Method for run training while following a TR cycling plan and if so how they found it! I’ve got a dual goal of qualifying for the…

One question for MAF “users” - did anyone observed improved VO2? I was recently reading couple of Alan Couzens articles and play with his calculations. The article I have in mind (it was cited by coach Chad in one of the podcast): https://www.google.com/amp/s/simplifaster.com/articles/how-trainable…

[image] jarsson: did anyone observed improved VO2? Not sure anyone would be able to observe that w/o being lab tested. There most likely is an improvement. The following is a good read into the components of VO2max and the types of training which builds those components. [image] Ho…

[image] jarsson: One question for MAF “users” - did anyone observed improved VO2? I was recently reading couple of Alan Couzens articles and play with his calculations. not a MAF user but have done a deep-dive on improving VO2max. Did you see figure 4 from the article: [image] its classic …

[image] bbarrera: I’ve been using WKO for awhile and received my first INSCYD report. Both estimated my VO2max within 0.1%, That is good to know. I was recently playing with 3 different vo2 max models (hey, if there is software with exuberant amount of data and statistics - bring it on:)) and…

[image] jarsson: One question for MAF “users” - did anyone observed improved VO2? Sort of, yes. When I ramped up my training from 12 to >20hrs/week I rode almost exclusively 2.5months at base endurance (aka MAF). My CP6 (aka vo2max) went up quite significantly. However, this only occurred onc…

[image] sryke: this is what Dan Lorang just wrote a few days ago Which echos exactly what Tom Bell suggests in his old VO2 article I posted. Lots of different people saying the same stuff. :+1:

Here are my MAF results from the last 10 months extracted from Xert. I recovered from an April 2019 injury in mid-May and decided I would do virtually all my rides at high end MAF zone (180 less 61 add back 5 to 10 bpm). So I kept my HR under 130 bpm with the occasional surge in the Zwift rides. …

How many hours did you average per week? What were your shortest and longest rides in a weekly schedule? Just curious how you approached it.
