Why Health-First Training Works
Most fitness apps focus on speed and performance, ignoring what really matters - your daily health and long-term wellness. AerobAce prioritizes your health through optimal heart rate zone training.
Strengthen Immune System
Aerobic training reduces inflammation markers and builds your body's natural defense system.
- • Lower C-reactive protein (CRP)
- • Reduced inflammatory cytokines
- • Better illness recovery
Optimize Key Health Metrics
Improve the biomarkers that matter for longevity and daily wellness.
- • Improved HRV (Heart Rate Variability)
- • Lower resting heart rate
- • Better blood pressure control
Boost Daily Energy
Build an efficient fat-burning system for steady energy without crashes.
- • Enhanced mitochondrial function
- • Stable blood sugar levels
- • Better sleep quality
What is MAF Training?
MAF (Maximum Aerobic Function) is a heart rate-based training method developed by Dr. Phil Maffetone that builds your aerobic system - the foundation of endurance and health.
Your Personalized Heart Rate Zone
AerobAce calculates your ideal training zone based on your age, fitness level, and health conditions - no guesswork needed.
- The Science: Training at or below your MAF heart rate develops your aerobic system without triggering stress responses that lead to burnout
- The Result: Your body learns to burn fat efficiently, producing steady energy while reducing inflammation
- The Tracking: AerobAce automatically analyzes your Strava activities to show time spent in your personalized MAF zone

- ✗Latest model when older works fine
How to Stay in Your MAF Zone During Training
Practical guidance for maintaining optimal heart rate zones during your runs, with methods that work for every budget and experience level.
Method 1: Heart Rate Monitor with Alerts
Use a fitness watch or heart rate monitor with vibration alerts when you leave your MAF zone. This keeps you focused on your run without constantly checking your screen.
- • Set vibration alerts for zone boundaries
- • Keep your eyes on the path, not the screen
- • Train your body to recognize the right effort level
Method 2: Conversational Pace
If you don't have a heart rate monitor, run at a conversational pace - you should be able to talk easily while running without gasping for breath.
- • Can you speak in full sentences?
- • Are you breathing through your nose?
- • Do you feel comfortable and relaxed?
💡 Remember: Consistency over perfection. It's better to train slightly below your MAF zone than above it.
