For many, the Ironman, Ironman 70.3, and long-course triathlon dream has been impossible because of the time commitment. </p><p>Now in <i>Fast-Track Triathlete</i>, elite triathlon coach and workout-life balance expert Matt Dixon unveils a comprehensive 14-week race prep program that is scalable to fit the training needs of any long-distance triathlete. While coaching his many CEO and high-level executive athletes, Dixon has considered the challenge of long-distance triathlon from every angle.

If I simply chased a traditional program, without consideration of my life stressors, I would be sure to find myself on a journey to failure. The dynamic mindset has helped me navigate continued evolution at the world-class level, while also growing Picky Bars and being an active participant in my family." -- <b>Jesse Thomas, professional triathlete and CEO, Picky Bars</b></p><p>"When, Matt Dixon of Purplepatch Fitness, a coach to athletic immortals, pens a book germane to everyday people trying to keep fit, it pays to listen since improved athletic performance has such a profound effect on one's work, sense of well-being and attitude to all aspects of life. The world's best coach of professional and amateur triathletes has distilled decades of experience in his new book <i>Fast-Track Triathlete</i>. It's an intelligent explanation of how fitness can transform life and work for everyone." -- <b>Michael Moritz, Partner, Sequoia Capital</b></p><p>"Each time I have tried endurance sports I have found myself quickly succumbing to a cycle of injury, while it also being a drag on my ability to fit it all in with all my other business and life commitments. The Purple Patch approach has been refreshing, and not only has allowed me to thrive in sport, but also helped my energy and mindset for life's activities." -- <b>Mark Pincus, Founder and Executive Chairman, Zynga</b></p><p>"I started the multipart journey with some goals, but also questioning how I could fit it into my busy life. Fast forward, my lens has shifted to realize that integrated the sport and positive habits is an asset to my performance in work and life, hence has become a non-negotiable tool in helping my global performance." -- <b>Carmel Galvin, Chief Human Resources Officer, Glassdoor</b></p><p>"Most training philosophies simply take what the best of the best do and water it down for each level. Matt's book flips the script and looks at how to get the best performance, while not sacrificing work and life. Matt does a great job of whittling down the fat and looking at what matters the most, where do we get the most bang for our buck." -- <b><i>Peak Performance</i></b></p><p>"One of the things that has struck me most about Matt Dixon and his coaching philosophy is his emphasis on quality over quantity. Many coaches load on volume and training hours, whereas Matt is able to create superior performances from his athletes on few hours of training. This translates into better overall quality of sessions, more time to recover, and more time for healthier life balance. His philosophy is one that I admire greatly."--<b>Sarah Piampiano, professional triathlete</b></p><p>"Matt Dixon taught me to not view my training in isolation but rather implement a holistic focus where my program was planned in the context of maintaining a healthy body, happy family, and fulfilling life.
