Nor is MAF testing. It's simply another measuring stick. To us competitive types it's not even close to being the best measuring stick; races are perhaps at the top of that list.<br><br>My entire point in training an athlete, however, is to get them to learn about their body and the responses that training that body have. And while you don't want be enslaved to ANY type of training, it is definitely wise to consider marking your progress somehow, whether it's through competitions or various homemade tests. <br><br>When you watch yourself improve--in one way or another, or more than one way or another--you begin to believe in your methodology that much more. And when that happens, you begin to believe in YOURSELF that much more. Keep believing!Chuckie Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09738989108681024384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946321131424169528.post-89629073122299474572008-07-21T15:42:00.000-07:002008-07-21T15:42:00.000-07:00I do need to see some "test" results in ...I do need to see some "test" results in order to assess the training. Even the best coach(es) in the world can't know exactly what will work for a specific athlete. But the measuring sticks are, in fact, real in this respect, revising what I said earlier about them being fairly superficial. . .Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06680473738547005786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-946321131424169528.post-61891189942426333322008-07-21T15:43:00.000-07:002008-07-21T15:43:00.000-07:00. . . or at least only measurements of how well on.... . . or at least only measurements of how well one "tests."Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06680473738547005786noreply@blogger.com
