With 150 championships and podium finishes in Ironman (R) and Ironman 70.3 (R) events over the past five years, <i>purplepatch fitness</i> pros are proving over and over again that he knows how to draw out performance. But Dixon will be the first to tell you that his pros don't train according to the conventional methods. </p><p>In <i>The Well-Built Triathlete</i>, Dixon upends the myths with which triathletes have been indoctrinated and spells out a better way to train for swim-bike-run. His progressive training program is grounded in the belief that performance is supported by four equally crucial pillars -- training, recovery, nutrition, and strength -- that must all be developed together. When any one of these pillars is underdeveloped, athletes fall short of their potential. </p><p><i>The Well-Built Triathlete</i> begins with a thorough self-assessment that will identify imbalances that threaten performance.

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. Not only have my performances drastically improved, but also my entire triathlon experience has become far more enjoyable. - <b>Tim Reed, professional triathlete</b></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Matt Dixon is an exercise physiologist and an elite triathlon coach.
