Mike explains the Maffetone Method, how going slower and honoring the 180-minus-your-age formula to determine your maximum aerobic heart rate will improve aerobic fitness and allow you to absorb the most out of your training. Mike talks about slowing down and stepping into the offseason earlier than planned to address the fatigue and carbohydrate dependency that was creeping up.
-------------------
Mike started the Transitions from War blog to talk about his struggles getting home, PTSD, and addiction and then finding endurance sports to really begin feeling whole again.
Breaking the stereotype of illiterate Marines, Mike and Rich met up in college at UC Berkeley. A few years after graduation they teamed up again, this time to discuss and promote a topic blatantly absent from their college days: healthy lifestyle and fitness.
