Summary

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! In this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon discusses the importance of the off-season for athletes, emphasizing intentional recovery and strategic planning for 2026. He introduces two case studies: Miguel, a first-time IRONMAN athlete who improved his training approach and finished under 13 hours, and Markus, a seasoned triathlete who overcame injury and frustration by focusing on foundational habits and smart training. Both athletes achieved success by leveraging the off-season to build a strong foundation, emphasizing organization, recovery, and targeted training projects. Dixon highlights the value of off-season preparation in setting the stage for a successful race season.
