*Reason of Maximum Aerobic Power Sessions explained by James Fitz*

Why is MAP important?

it allows a person over time mainly to do more powerful work and repeats of that work, which is key in most sporting and fitness environments.
Some question the reasoning for %’s.
– Those folks are just scared to be honest as they do not understand the physiology and tie in to performance, which does not make it right b/c you don’t know it to say its wrong without trying it.  It’s like saying why use %’s of load for certain weight training movements; why do some use 60% loads in speed work for lifting, why not just go out all the time and figure it out?  It’s the same thing for MAP training, getting better at it would be like saying, well, just go out there and feel it out, go for 15-30 min or so and “feel it out.”  Why not have structure on %’s and effort AS WE DO IN LIFTING to create patterns of learning within that neural system; as when they all work together AND people get stronger WHICH allows the right power for a peak, it really is beautiful.
