This week’s guest is another coach.  In fact, he is a UK coach although you are more likely to find him in the US these days.  Matt Dixon is well known in the triathlon world as founder and owner of Purple Patch Fitness, based in San Francisco.  He coaches age group athletes and professionals including Sam Appleton, Kevin Collington, Sara Pampiano, and UK Ironman pro Laura Siddall.  He has also written a couple of books and he has his own podcast (links below).  He is also the head coach for the Ironman Executive Challenge and is a presenter for Ironman University. Some time ago I listened to one of Matt’s podcasts and he referred to the fact that he was known as the “Recovery Coach”, because of the significance that he gives this aspect of training and its place in optimal performance.  As this is a topic that is also close to my heart I thought it might be good to take a deeper dive into Recovery for Triathletes.  In this conversation we discuss: The Purple Patch 4 Pillars of Performance Why lack of fitness is rarely the reason for under-performance in a race How assessing the “landscape of your life” is the first step to a successful programme The importance of sleep …. again! Why ‘fit & fresh’ is a good mantra for your rating and well being Why strength & conditioning is a 'critical supplement’ to your training Recovery - it’s part of the programme, not an extra Matt's top 3 priorities for post season training To find out more about Matt Dixon please visit his website Purple Patch Fitness.  Matt also has 2 excellent books The Fast Track Triathlete and The Well Built Triathlete.  You can also hear Matt on his own podcast The Purple Patch Podcast.

On day 2 of the IMTalk 2018 Kona Super Specials we have interviews with Craig Alexander, Matt Chrabot, Kevin Collington, Elle Goodall and Age Group interviews.

We revisit an insightful conversation with three Purple Patch Pros who are competing in this Saturday’s IRONMAN World Championships - Laura Siddall, Kevin Collington, and Sarah Piampiano. They recorded this interview (Episode 5) in January at the Purple Patch Pro Camp in Scottsdale, Arizona when they were just starting their 2018 season. In this episode, they talk about goal setting, managing fears, mindset, key lessons, and finding world-class performance every time they toe the line at a race. Clearly, these three have put their words into action and we wish them all the best on the Big Island. Purple Patch is behind you and we can’t wait to follow along!

This week, we are offering you a special edition of two episodes in which Purple Patch pros join Matt for roundtable discussions with professional Ironman triathletes like you've never heard before! In Part 1, Coach Matt moderates this honest discussion with three of his elite pros, Kevin Collington, Laura Siddall, and Sarah Piampiano, about goal-setting, managing fears, training management, race day mindset, definitions of success, and so much more. All three are IRONMAN champions and, yet, they still freely admit that there's so much more to learn.    If you think the life of a professional triathlete is easy or enviable, think again. They work hard - NONSTOP. When the physical training stops, the mental training begins.  Even Matt learned a thing or two about his athletes during this deep dive that touched on several topics: What did their path to world-class performance look like? What components do they possess that have shaped their success? What is their definition of success? Do professional athletes still get pre-race anxiety? If so, how do they calm the nerves? What do they think about during the race? How do they approach pain and suffering?  How do they prepare for a long week of training? What is their proudest moment so far and what obstacles have they had to overcome to stand on top of the Ironman podium?   Enjoy this epic episode with Ironman Champions and Purple Patch Professionals!   :00-:20  Recorded Intro :20-2:30 Matt's Welcome and February 8th Webinar Invitation (Join Us: https://purplepatchfitness.com/blog/webinar-train-your-next-race-purple-patch) 2:30-5:45 Word of the Week: Basics 5:45 - 1:01 Matt's Roundtable with Sarah Piampiano, Kevin Collington, and Laura Siddall To Register for our February 8th Webinar on Purple Patch Custom Programming, Click HERE Follow us and learn more about our Coaching Services, Training Camps and Matt's Latest Book, Fast Track Triathlete: Purple Patch Fitness Website Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Instagram Thanks for taking a listen and, if you like what you hear, please subscribe, share, rate and review.

ONE STEP AHEAD: Boosting testosterone levels. WORKOUT OF THE WEEK: Downhill running. HOT PROPERTY INTERVIEW – KEVIN COLLINGTON: American triathlete Kevin Collington had a career in ITU before deciding to move to the 70.3 distance. In 2015 he gave the iron distance racing a go coming 7th at Ironman Arizona in a time of 8:15. This year, he won the Challenge Iceland Half, Busan 70.3 and then podiumed with a 3rd place at the Ironman South American Champs in Brazil to become a first-time Kona qualifier. Kona didn’t go to plan and had him pulling out before the run but he’s already got the Kona bug and looking to give it another shot in 2017. His next race will be Ironman Cozumel and we’re really looking forward to see how he goes. 5 MIN FOCUS: Bev talks to Johnny van Leeuwen, a 35-year-old passionate MTB cyclist from Dunedin who, in a desperate bid to lose body weight for his sport, developed a condition called REDs - Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport. The term REDS has evolved from a condition that centres on eating disorders or dysfunctional eating, hormonal imbalances and bone health. In 1986 the condition was coined ‘Female Athlete Triad’, which had the unfortunate consequence of suggesting it was something that doesn’t affect males. Johnny is testament to the fact that it does.
