3 miles and then some strength training

I've been reading this lately. I'm curious to know what the general consensus is of Dr. Maffetone on the FRB. I've been using a HR monitor for the last few days. 

Personally, if I use the 180 - age model (150 HR), I can't run faster than mid to high 8 minute pace. Not sure if this is genetic or if it just indicates a general lack of endurance or inability to burn fats. I may just be weak aerobically. I've always had more speed than endurance.

Any ideas?

3.5 easy mile at HR between 140-150 then strength training and hip and glute exercises

First mile was around 8 minutes and by the end I was closer to 9 minute pace

Considering just doing only slower "runs" at lower HRs for the next 3 months and seeing if I can improve aerobic efficiency. I would still do short strides a couple of times a week with full recovery. If it works I can see it paying big dividends for my running and overall health.
