How’s the MAF going?! 🤷‍♂️ I’m just starting, as you can read here: > [@Wait Training Plan](https://www.trainerroad.com/forumt/wait-training-plan/15470): > > Sidelined in a dastardly manner and watching the zeros pile up on my calendar has led me to a new training regime whilst I wait for further medical diagnosis/prognosis. Taking into account my doc’s advice that I can still be active, just no gunning for PR’s, and the HR threshold of my weird blood pressure condition, I’m embarking on an extended block of [MAF aerobic training](https://philmaffetone.com/aerobic-training-guidelines/). Caveat being, I can’t physically do a ramp test to get current FTP or HRmax levels, however, I was at a similar non-acti… Interesting statements about cholesterol at the top of the topic…I was on a LCHF diet when I had mine tested and my doc flipped. But, looking at it now, my hdl/tri/tot:hdl were all in the desirable to _very_ desirable range…only my total and ldl were undesirably high (on the Framingham Risk table I scored 3%). Statins do their job incredibly well, but is it a job that will ultimately prolong life? Anyway, back to the bike…I’m doing 2-3x2hr rides on the weekdays and 2x3hr rides on the weekends. My MAF range includes the ‘major illness’ -10 and as most practitioners mention, it’s slllloooowwww. Should I even bother marrying HR to watts or simply stick with HR…because that’s the whole point of MAF? --- _[View the full topic](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/maf-method-training/3799)._
