Our guest today is Phil Maffetone, originally from Brooklyn, and a track and field athlete in the 60’s. Vinnie and Anna discuss Phil’s book with him, “1:59“, and the concept of body efficiency.

Also, today, we’re going to Hollywood! The amazing Serena Scott Thomas is in Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie, “Inherent Vice” which opened last week. Vinnie discusses the movie and what it was like going to the premiere.  He also notices a strong resemble between actress Illeana Douglas who attended the premiere of “Inherent Vice” and actor/comedian Milton Berle…

Phil’s Book

  • “1:59” refers to the ability of a human being breaking the 2 hour mark running a marathon
  • It is considered “undoable”
  • The book is for everyone…cyclists, swimmers, triathletes

Body Efficiency

  • Our brain tries to move in the most economical way
  • The more efficient our body moves…the faster we perform using less energy and with less injuries
  • Ryan Hall had high hopes…great runner but not consistent
  • Phil says that he has an irregular gate, which is not efficient and slows him down

Breaking Records

  • In 1954 Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile and many people broke it soon after
  • Bob Beaman jumped further than any human being in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics
  • To achieve this, these need to be near-perfect performances
  • Humans are always improving..mental and physical part of us always wants to do better

How Does This Relate to Zone 2

  • Aerobic system is the key foundation of endurance competition
  • Equally important is diet
  • Junk food impairs aerobic ability
  • Get away from sugar and grains

Inherent Vice
