Phil Maffetone is a fitness expert known for his holistic approach to endurance training. He created the "Maffetone Method," which centers on developing aerobic fitness by exercising at lower heart rates. This method prioritizes long-term health and aims to prevent injuries by balancing exercise, nutrition (emphasizing a low-carb, high-fat diet), and lifestyle habits. Maffetone suggests using heart rate monitoring (calculated as 180 minus your age) to ensure workouts remain in the aerobic zone, allowing athletes to boost efficiency while avoiding overtraining or burnout. Many endurance athletes have adopted this approach.
