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.
