IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon and Purple Patch Coach Max Gering discuss the importance of strategic training for IRONMAN and half IRONMAN races, emphasizing that 8-12 hours of training per week can be optimized for performance. They highlight common mistakes athletes make, such as neglecting strength training, ramping up training too quickly, and failing to increase calorie intake as training volume increases. They stress the importance of maintaining a balanced approach, including proper nutrition, hydration, and recovery. Max also underscores the need for athletes to have fun and maintain a positive mindset, suggesting that enjoying the journey is crucial for long-term success and performance.

 Max raises the issue of athletes forgetting to have fun as they ramp up their training. Dixon shares a story about an athlete who significantly improved her performance by increasing her calorie intake, highlighting the impact of proper fueling. Together, they share reflections on what Purple Patch has been focusing on with it’s Athletes over the last few months, along with telling advice on common mistakes to avoid in preparation for this season.
