404 - Course correcting your triathlon season before it's too late

Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast. On this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon discusses optimizing Ironman training and race preparation. He emphasizes the importance of a solid off-season and consistent training, rather than cramming workouts close to the race. Dixon highlights the need for a flexible, adaptive approach to training, avoiding monotony and ensuring effective recovery. He advises on specific training strategies: short, high-intensity swimming sets, terrain management for biking, and maintaining running frequency with walk breaks. Dixon also stresses the importance of self-pacing and integrating race-specific skills like sighting. He offers a free strategy call for listeners preparing for an IRONMAN.
