In this week's interview, I speak with Dr. Phil Maffetone, an endurance expert and someone who developed many of the protocols used today in aerobic training, including the Maffetone Method. Dr. Phil Maffetone is described as "one of the most sought-after endurance coaches in the world." He entered the endurance sports scene in the late 70’s.

In addition to working with some of the world’s top endurance athletes, Dr. Maffetone has written dozens of books and articles on health, fitness and nutrition, including Complimentary Sports Medicine, Training for Endurance, The Maffetone Method, and In Fitness and In Health. During our discussion, Phil answers the following questions:

Why do you say that to speed up you must slow down?

What is the 180-Formula?

What is the MAF Test?

In “Training For Endurance”, you describe several stages of Overtraining Syndrome. What are they?

Why do you say that athletes can be fit, but unhealthy?
