Going from sugar burner to fat burner with very good results in running and triathlon. Last December had a kid. Extra busy now. Doing daily runs of about 15-20 minutes, longer on weekends, combining it with crossfit-like workouts. Will this suffice to stay and/or get fit?

One Comment
Need some advice related this podcast. I recently started MAF training and have been having little to no improvement over several months. To stay within my MAF rate of 140 I need to stay around 13-14 minutes a mile and my cadence is unbearably slow (150-160) feels like I'm shuffling. I never trained with a hear rate monitor before but my average pace was around 8:30-9:00 mins a mile with a cadenced around 180+. I do not have any goals for racing or competition…I just like to run about 20-30miles a week for exercise and enjoyment. Do you have any suggestion that may help me be able to reach a MAF rate with a more comfortable cadence and pace? I really don't think my "shuffle" is going to pay off.
