Summary
Welcome back to the Purple Patch Podcast!
This is part two of our three-part series on the Off-Season. We've reimagined the Off-Season to help you thrive and achieve success in the upcoming season. This week, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon discusses the Purple Patch Off-Season, focusing on a comprehensive 18-week training plan that extends into the initial 6 weeks of the following year. This period, which we refer to as Q4, starts in October for most athletes and continues through November and December, with the off-season mindset extending into the first six weeks of the next year.
Matt emphasizes the importance of structured training and smart Off-Season practices to prevent burnout and reduce the risk of injury. His approach covers swim, bike, run, strength, and supporting habits, and while our discussion will be centered around triathletes, the principles and approaches apply to all endurance athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
If you missed last week's episode, we encourage you to listen to it first, as it lays the groundwork for a successful Off-Season. Our goal is to provide foundational information to guide your Off-Season planning.
Committing to a well-structured Off-Season offers several benefits, including long-term motivation and decreased risk of burnout and injury. By investing in a proper Off-Season, you can set yourself up for a successful and fulfilling season ahead.

| 0:00.0 | I'm Matt Dixon and welcome to the Purple Patch podcast. |
| 0:06.0 | The mission of Purple Patch is to empower and educate every human being to reach their athletic potential. |
| 0:12.0 | Through the lens of athletic potential you reach your human potential. |
| 0:16.0 | The purpose of this podcast is to help time-starved people everywhere in a great sport into life. |
| 0:31.4 | And welcome to the Purple Patch podcast, as ever, your host Matt Dixon. And let me say welcome |
| 0:37.4 | back, because this is part two |
| 0:39.4 | of our three-part series on off-season. And boy, once again, we're doing it a little different |
| 0:45.8 | this year. You might remember in last week's show, I talked about how we completely reimagined |
| 0:51.2 | postseason last year. We got some really positive results. And this year, |
| 0:55.6 | once again, we're building off of that reimagination, refining it a little bit because we always |
| 1:01.6 | want to continue to evolve. That is a big part of the purple patch folklore, as you might call it. |
| 1:07.1 | And we are repositioning off-season again to enable you to be successful. Now let's start |
| 1:14.1 | today by saying one thing. I want you to thrive. I want you to have a wonderful experience, a |
| 1:22.5 | great season, a breakout. I want you to be better than you've ever been before. No matter whether you're a part of |
| 1:28.8 | Purple Patch or not, that's a big reason that coaches love to coach is to see people thrive. |
| 1:35.7 | And a massive part of your success, I promise, I commit to you, is getting your off season right. |
| 1:42.7 | And so what we're going to do today is we're going to |
| 1:45.2 | tackle the purple patch lens of this. Now, the reason that I wanted to do this show where we actually |
| 1:50.3 | peel back the curtain and we talk about Purple Patch is really three main things. The first is, |
| 1:55.7 | of course, it might inspire you to become a part of the Purple Patch community. And trust us on your journey. |
| 2:02.7 | Yes, there is that side of it. So speaking Flanley, that's part of it. The second thing is I think |
| 2:07.9 | that this is going to prove helpful for coaches if you're listening as a coach. You might draw from |
