Dr. Philip Maffetone€s approach to endurance offers a truly €œindividualized€ outlook and unique system that emphasizes building a strong aerobic base for increased fat burning, weight loss, sustained energy, and a healthy immune system. Good nutrition and stress reduction are also key to this commonsense, big-picture approach.

• The need to train slower to race faster will enable your aerobic system to improve endurance
• Why expensive running shoes can actually cause foot and leg injuries
• The fact that refined carbohydrates actually reduce endurance energy and disrupt hormone balance
• And more.
