    Hello! 46yo F, have been in easy mode for a year due to long Covid. 19:46 5k PR in 2021. Using MAF aerobic range I could only run 13-14 min/mi at 124-134 HR. Decided to try the HR drift (PaHR) method using Training Peaks. I’m using the process described in UA blog. So far I’ve bumped HR up to 140-150 range and I’m still at a -2% drift. Do I keep going? I still feel pretty comfortable during the runs. But the range is now way off anything Maffetone would support. TIA for any input.

    MAF thresholds are for beginners who don’t know their real thresholds.
