The Secret To Perfect MAF Heart Rate Control

Are you struggling to keep your heart rate in check during MAF training? Most runners set up their watches incorrectly, leading to "ego traps," spiked heart rates, and frustrated progress. In this video, I show you the exact watch configuration you need to stop staring at your wrist and start building your aerobic base effectively. We cover the three essential data fields, why you MUST remove "current pace" from your main screen, and how to use heart rate alerts to keep you honest—no negotiation required. Whether you use Garmin, Coros, or Polar, these technical tweaks will ensure your watch does the work for you. The "One Dedicated Screen" setup. Why current pace is sabotaging your MAF progress. How to use Heart Rate Alerts as a non-negotiable ceiling. Tracking "Cardiac Drift" in real-time with lap pace. Preventing "Stride Rate Hijacking" for more accurate data.
