Summary
In part two of a four-part series on winning at triathlon in 2025 IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon outlines Purple Patch's coaching offerings, including individual coaching and the tri squad program. He discusses the Purple Patch coaching model for triathletes, emphasizing a smart mindset and practical strategies for performance improvement. He outlines the training phases: off-season (October-December), pre-season (January-March), build phase (April-June), and race-specific (July-December). Dixon advises a preparatory mindset in pre-season, focusing on winning workouts and building foundational fitness. He recommends a three-week training block structure, balancing key sessions with supporting workouts, and integrating strength training. Dixon stresses the importance of life balance, flexibility, and the optimization mindset to avoid burnout and ensure long-term success.
Dixon asks listeners to Reflect on your actions for Q1, including tackling a weakness, leveraging a strength, and refining a baseline habit. Adopt a preparatory mindset for the first 6 weeks, focusing on winning workouts and building supporting habits. Structure your training in 3-week cycles, with the first two weeks being challenging and the third week being a transition week with lighter load. Identify your key sessions for the week and build your training around them, incorporating strength training and supporting workouts.
