Since I am new to barefoot and going slow to begin with, I figure now would be as good a time as any to try a MAF running program. I did a little research online and I am going to by one of the book on the topic soon enough.
My HR monitor uses zones. The question I have right now is what heart rate zone should I be in? The zones are described as:
Zone 1: 60-70% HR max
Zone 2: 70-80% HR max and
Zone 3: 80-90% HR max.
I am guessing zone 1 because it’s supposed to be real slow. Is that right?
While I am at it, can anyone recommend any books, either on MAF or barefoot running in general?
Thank you
Brian
