I have been reading about the maffetone method for KB, as well as for other endurance endeavors (marathon, Tri's, etc). Everyone extols its virtues, and I expect they're right, but I have one misgiving: I haven't seen anything out there where they take two groups of untrained individuals and subject one to the traditional "no pain, no gain" method, while the other goes Maf from the get-go.
I agree that I'm making good gains doing this, but does one need a base of "no pain, no gain" to get the benefit? If there's someone out there who knows, I'd love to hear it.
