Get access to Dr Phil Maffetone (the yoda of heart-rate training) in a way that has never been on offer before. Our expert panel of 5 MAF certified coaches have over 100 years of MAF180 experience. The course comprises of 5 modules over 10hrs. You can complete the course at your own pace (within 6 months) and start to reap the rewards.
You’ll learn a number of the MAF Expert Team’s preferred techniques such as the In-Depth Audit, a methodology of troubleshooting that helps you conduct a detailed analysis of your MAF Method application.
The MAF Method (also known as Maximum Aerobic Function) in regards to running is pretty basic, which makes most people assume they’ve missed something…they haven’t. It’s all detailed very well in The Big Book of Endurance Training. This is NOT training in heart rate zones.
Read The MAF Guide to heart-rate monitors and check out the MAF HR+ that you can buy with a 50% discount for just $49 USD as a course member. As heart-rate monitoring is fundamental to the MAF Method, we are offering the MAF HR+ at a discounted rate of just $49 USD to all course members.
The course consists of eight to ten hours of classroom instruction, an online ecourse, and ten hours of on-cycle, hands-on riding practice.

Two Ways To Be Safe & Learn The Latest Skills The Motorcyclist Training Course (MTC) is a 15 hour course which includes 5 hours of classroom instruction and 10 hours of actual riding.
two-dayBasic Rider Course (BRC) - The BRC is a two-day course that covers basic motorcycle riding techniques such as stopping, turning, and counter-steering. This course must be taken within 60 days of purchasing a motorcycle. Without BRC training, Marines cannot register their bikes on base.

To obtain a motorcycle instruction permit, you must first pass a knowledge (written) test at a driver examination station. If you are under 18 years old, you must also present a certificate of completion of a state-approved motorcycle rider training course. The knowledge (written) test may be taken only once per day.
Since 2010, 327,771 bikers have attempted Module 1 of a motorcycle test, with 226,712 riders passing the test at a pass rate of 69.2 per cent. Males account for almost 290,000 of the Module 1 tests taken; with a pass rate of 71.6 per cent enough to see more than 207,000 passes overall.
Through the public competitive bidding process, the Harley-Davidson Electraglide motorcycle was selected as the primary enforcement motorcycle for the California Highway Patrol in 2013.
Currently only one state in the US allows lane splitting. Utah, Oregon, Maryland, and Connecticut are considering lane sharing laws in their state legislatures, but none of these laws are on the books yet. As of August 19th, 2016, lane splitting is officially legal in California.
NOTE: Lane splitting is not authorized when riding on Camp Pendleton.
WHERE IT ALL BEGINS: Basic Reconnaissance Course (BRC) BRC is a 12-week course designed to train Marines in the tactics, techniques, and procedures of amphibious reconnaissance operations, and to qualify Marines for duty as a Reconnaissance Man (Military Occupational Specialty 0321).
To sign up for the class call the Base Safety Center at (760) 725-2897. Riders assigned to Camp Pendleton are required to attend the Experience Riders Course (ERC) within 120 days of attending the BRC. In addition a refresher course on ERC, ARC S/T, Seasoned Rider or MSRC is required every 3 years.
The Maffetone Method helps you take charge of your own health and fitness—and succeed. Every animal on earth knows how to be optimally healthy, but humans have gone astray; getting back your instincts and intuition is one of the benefits of this process. Low heart rate training helps you build a stronger aerobic base.
Here’s a few ways to know the Maffetone Method could benefit you: Desire to improve fat utilization in running {important for endurance events}. Those with high body or life stress which are already impacting the body. Those experience more than normal fatigue every time they increase mileage.
Simply put, MAF training is a philosophy about how to train and a set of tools Phil developed to help athletes perform better.
The 180 formula is a formula for calculating your MAF heart rate. It’s a simple calculation where you deduct your age from 180. You then add or subtract from this number based on several lifestyle factors that Phil has set. The end result is a heart rate ceiling that you do all of your training at or below.
To track the progress of your aerobic development, Phil created the MAF test. The MAF test is a simple test performed at the MAF heart rate. At Coached, we mainly use it as a running test, but you can also do it on the bike and in other ways.
One of the quickest ways to kick start your fat burning is to do the Two Week Carbohydrate Intolerance Test.
The aim of the MAF training is to build the aerobic system and this happens by the body improving the aerobic capabilities of slow and fast-twitch muscle. Biologically, muscle fibres start to grow more mitochondria which improve the use of oxygen; meanwhile the capillary network that supplies oxygen from the arteries to the muscle fibres becomes more extensive. It is these changes that allow cells to extract and use more oxygen from each beat of the heart hence why it then needs to beat less frequently to deliver the same oxygen levels.
Building the aerobic system is important for all distance runners but fat-burning (remember the aerobic system can also be sugar-burning) is only useful for racing events lasting longer than 1 – 1½ hours. That means twenty mile races, marathons and ultras.
It’s likely that if you try to run below a MAF-HR as a beginner runner you will quickly be exceeding it at all but the slowest pace. This could especially be the case if any of the previous three points apply.
Although MAF training promises to get you faster, more often than not it’s helping you to race longer distances faster. It’s a subtle distinction. What I mean is that while you might be able to run one mile all-out in eight minutes, MAF training will simply enable you to build the endurance to do a parkrun or 10K at this pace but you won’t necessarily be able to run a single mile faster . That will only happen when you do some speed training. If you only ever do low heart-rate training, you’re eventually going to come up against a brick wall of no improvement.
running form at your MAF rate. First, take a look at your running posture, try to run more upright if you bend at the waist. Try short runs (50-100 yards) running barefoot on grass to find your true form.
dramatically reduce metabolic stress and inflammation. For some, this can happen very quickly, from 2 to 8 weeks, for others, it may take longer. To persevere, it takes mental toughness: What this means to you, is just as Dr. Phil is against structured training.
The Maffetone method is not a magic pill for running faster. If you are#N#unable to run the flats or just slog along at your max MAF heart rate, you may need to address some other issues that are keeping you slow.#N#There are several reasons you can't run fast enough:
