I think the talk test just feels a bit squishier to me. I can get significantly above my MAF number (125-135 with nasal breathing and on the talk test.
That being said, Peter's version of Zone 2 looks pretty hard to me-- and would probably fall in a higher HR range:
Obviously the MAF number is probably lowballing things a bit.
the way i think of the MAF number is that it's like the 4-week step load in Simple & Sinister.
A compromise - (which would have been made one way or another) - between rushing, and not going anywhere.
the MAF number gets me what I need, with ease, every time it's tried.
