Wednesday, 17 December, 2025
Welcome to the Purple Patch Podcast! In this episode, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon discusses strategies for setting performance goals and training effectively in 2026. He emphasizes the importance of starting now, before the holidays, to avoid the "New Year, New You" pressure. Dixon identifies three common challenges: the overwhelmed athlete, the rigid athlete, and the mature athlete. He advises against chasing specific events and instead focuses on a year-long journey of progression. Key strategies include building a flexible training plan, prioritizing strength sessions, and maintaining consistent habits. Dixon also highlights the importance of integrating training with life demands and encourages listeners to reach out for a complementary needs assessment.
