Purple Patch Fitness Hosts Free Live Webinars for IRONMAN and Marathon Athletes This Summer
May 22, 2026
Elite Coach Matt Dixon Shares Proven Strategies for Busy Amateur Athletes to PR Their Fall Races
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. (May 2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ — Purple Patch Fitness, the leading global triathlon and endurance coaching organization, will host two free live webinars this June to help busy amateur athletes race faster.
The webinars are led by Purple Patch founder and head coach Matt Dixon. His methodology is drawn from 20 years of experience coaching athletes of all levels — from World Champions and Olympians to busy amateurs who have achieved thousands of PRs, podiums, and over 1,500 World Championship qualifications.
Webinar 1: Faster, Fresher, and More Fun: Racing an IRONMAN on 12 Hours per Week Thursday, June 11 at 9 a.m. PT | Registration: go.purplepatchfitness.com/ironman2026
The first webinar tackles one of the most persistent myths in triathlon: that IRONMAN success requires 15- to 20-hour training weeks. Dixon will walk athletes through how to optimize training around a busy schedule, build real consistency, and eliminate the fatigue, injury, and burnout that often derail amateurs. Attendees who register will also receive a free trial of Purple Patch’s video-coached indoor cycling program. The session is open to all athletes — whether self-coached, working with a coach, or following an online plan.
Webinar 2: Fewer Miles, Faster Finish: Racing a Marathon on 35 Miles per Week Wednesday, June 18 at 9 a.m. PT | Registration: go.purplepatchfitness.com/marathon2026
The second session applies the Purple Patch multisport methodology to marathon training. Participants will learn the three key components of run performance and how to leverage training across disciplines to get faster and reduce injury risk, fatigue, and boredom. Athletes will also learn how to structure training for maximum results — without 50-mile weeks. Purple Patch athletes have repeatedly used this proven approach to qualify for the Boston Marathon. Registrants will receive the Purple Patch Marathon Training Framework PDF as a free bonus.
Both webinars are free and live, with a replay available for those who can’t attend live.
“Every athlete I work with — from Olympians to first-timers — is juggling more than just training. These webinars are about giving athletes a smarter framework so they can actually enjoy the process and show up to race day at their best.”
— Matt Dixon, Purple Patch Fitness
