Dr. Maffetone's unique training system for champions proves that the kinder, gentler approach actually works the best.

It means "training slower to go faster," says Mike Pigg, world champion triathlete and Maffetone client.

In short, this is a fitness regimen for champions that everyone can use to reach their own goals whether it be running a marathon or walking around the block.
