Summary

Welcome to the Purple Patch podcast! In this week's episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon shares valuable insights on maximizing the benefits of indoor bike trainers to improve outdoor performance. While many of us use an indoor trainer to save time, escape weather conditions during the winter months, and develop fitness through interval training, Matt goes a step further by providing practical tips and tools to upgrade your speed, enhance your outdoor riding experience, and unleash your full potential as a rider.

Matt shares effective ways to access a deeper and more focused training session on the indoor bike trainer. He delves into specific strategies, skills, and techniques like leveraging gear usage, cadence, pedal stroke, posture, specificity of intervals, terrain management, and other elements that can help you optimize your bike training well beyond boosting your fitness profile.

Most coaches tend to avoid the topic of skill set acquisition because it is challenging to coach remotely, or they are not familiar with how to approach it. However, this is precisely what we specialize in. It is the backbone of our bike program and our reputation for helping to build stronger and faster riders. Matt reveals the secrets behind our success so that you can connect the dots on how your effort inside applies to you becoming a better bike rider outside.
