Matt Dixon, head coach of Purple Patch Fitness,
thanks for having us here in the training camp
that you're having down in Scottsdale.
Let's talk about the camp, what are you guys doing here?
- Well, we've got a mix of,
this is one of our annual camps actually,
so we like to test the athletes
and challenge them a little bit,
and so yesterday they did a swim,
most of the athletes did a swim
that was about six and a half thousand yards,
and had some challenge in there.
It's a little threshold-y, a little bit of speed.
- Left to their own devices, they'll cook themselves.
- Yeah, couldn't be better said,
because I think that, look,
across most people that undertake the sport,
especially if they identify themselves as triathletes,
motivation is not a challenge.
And I think the working part is easy.
Where the real skill comes in,
where real performance comes out in,
is moderating that work with the courage to rest,
the courage to peel back.
So this time of year it's better to Work
on strength work going up hill,
some speed works and how it will effectually
treat yourself more as a technician
that's learning to do things well,
with a little bit of a sprinkle in distance-type mind set,
so that you can have building blocks of power
that then when you're laying on the miles,
you can be more successful.
Which is really upside down,
that how most people think, it's winter,
I'm going to go and do piles of miles,
but it's cold everywhere, the days are short,
it doesn't make any sense practically,
for very busy amateurs, building base
is a really outdated mind set
of practical triathlon training
for the vast majority of people that undertake it.
So, we flip that upside down and say,
hey the base is gonna happen if you start training
for your races,
you do it most of the season when the weather's good.
Now, over the winter months, become a technician,
work on some speed, work on some strength
and then carry it in to the next time,
which is the middle of the season.
Very upside down and then I think
traditional coaching models is all I'm saying.
- Yeah, I think traditional coaching models,
and I'd be one of the people guilty
of going to a training camp that,
pick me up all the good reviews that you've got about it.
(laughing)
In behind the scenes too, this conference,
when I mentioned that after the conference I was
spending some time with you, people were just in awe
of your books, they're like, his stuff is really good.
Do you want to talk about the premise of them?
- Yeah, I mean really off the back
of what we've discussed in many ways.
So the first book I can't even remember the name,
but no, it's the Well-Built Triathlete,
and the reason I wrote that book.
- With Jessie Thomas on the cover?
- Yeah so, - Very epic photo.
- It's a, I know, never put a book,
oh look we have an athlete coming in.
This is Ed joining us here.
Eddie's one of our Purple Patch new amateur athletes
who is a very.
- I hear you had a hard day.
- It was a hard day.
(laughing)
- He's very busy amateur,
but has an engine the size of a rhinoceros,
and is coming to triathlon,
so we're gonna take on a...
(heavy footsteps)
(object drops on floor)
- Ah, ooh, focus, hello friends.
Really good job on the focus there, GH5.
Day, done, Matt Dixon, done.
Tomorrow, Sarah True, a little bit of a day-in-the-life,
some fun stuff planned.
Day after, team Purple Patch Fitness, Laura Siddall.
Right now we nap, like all night,
some might call it sleep.
(whispering) I need sleep.
Alright, later train-iacs.
Well kind of a fun conference,
it was good, I enjoyed that.
