This interview completely changed my mindset on running and in many ways, on life. Everything worth a lot in life is a long game!
-
The more I listen to Phil Maffetone the more I realize how great this inteview is. Maybe it was the weather or meeting of the stars but this has almost everything and is a moment the penny dropped for many people.

Wish I would’ve known this 15 years ago. Would’ve saved me a lot of headaches and injuries. I blame the Rocky movies

Hey Floris, I wish I could have found this years ago! week 2 of MAF training. Thank you for this video Floris and Phil.
-
Fantastic interview! I just started this method 3 months ago. It completely changed my relationship with running.
-
I sent this to my grown children. Recommended they start a minute 28 if not interested in running or cross training. All my children are health conscious but feed my grandchildren too much refined food. Great interview!
-
Thank you for the interview! I thoroughly enjoyed it! It is refreshing to hear the resolve to healthy eating and exercise. I am 63 and ran my first 5K last year. I ran a 22:31. I wrestled with overtraining after that. Thanks again!
-
Thank you so much for posting this!
-
Look how young you guys are!! I love it! You two have logged some amazing miles since this moment. God bless your generous souls. We are the lucky ones to get to follow your work.

Thanks for a great interview. I am a big fan of Dr. Maffetone. Words to live by~

I too am following the MAF method and I think it is the most natural form of exercise! Great channel!

This is such an awesome video! I'm gonna make sure i get a copy of that book!
-
Love this interview! Thank you!

Thanks so much for the great advice. I have been dabbling with MAF for a few years and have had some success. However, I stop using it for my first Ironman training which I DNF'd because of injury! Lesson learned, I doing another Ironman next year and I'm going MAF all the way! Just wanted to say that's for the great channel, I look forward to more videos.👌🏻

Personal anecdote. I started running at age 31 and run sporadic 5ks. I am tired and feel like dying after each run because I push hard each time and still get mediocre times.... So I stepped back and started doing this type of training and now I shaved a full minute from my 5k pace, plus I feel great after the run to the point where I actually like running now! It may seem contrary to the "no pain no gain" and "stop being a pussy" mantras but it works.

I've had a couple of years running but the info from this video was really good, many things are reflected in my own thoughts.
