Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! In this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon discusses the importance of off-season training for athletes, emphasizing the need for rejuvenation, flexibility, and building a foundation for next year's performance. He highlights the benefits of consistent, low-impact cycling, which not only maintains fitness but also improves cognitive health. Dixon advocates for a balanced approach, combining high-intensity interval training, skill development, and terrain management. He shares the inspiring story of Jenna Diliberto, who overcame significant challenges to achieve a top finish in an Ironman race. Dixon encourages listeners to join Purple Patch's coaching programs for personalized guidance and to enhance their cycling skills effectively.
