Your Purple Patch Squad program provides day-to-day structured workouts written by Matt Dixon, each with in-depth tutorials, ongoing global education, a great community, and opportunities for feedback. You will also receive specific race plans, suitable to your level and time available to train, guiding you directly to your key races.

You can join the Squad at any time, in any phase of your training, and all phases include:

Daily Training:  Your baseline training program will align with the key sessions of the San Francisco-based Purple Patch training squad led by Matt Dixon.  

Training Platform: Your workouts will be delivered by Today's Plan, the same platform utilized by our professional and individually coached athletes, enabling you to track data, subjective wellness, and performance reviews.

Tutorials:  Each workout includes a video tutorial from Matt Dixon, explaining the session, and how to execute.

Structured:  Bike and run workouts are delivered with embedded coaching cues and education and will automatically link to your favorite third party apps such as Garmin, Wahoo, Zwift, and Trainerroad.

Purple Patch Pillars of Performance Tracking: You will have your own Purple Patch dashboard from which you will be able to track your progression, training load, and sessions completed, as well as sleep metrics and subjective mood metrics. All of this data will improve your awareness of your global performance.

Race Preparation:  The Squad program includes unlimited 7-10 week Race Build plans that guide you day by day into your key races.  These plans are easily applied in Today’s Plan and include the same tutorials, education, and structure as the regular squad sessions you will follow for the rest of the season.

Education:  The backbone of the Purple Patch Squad is education and support.  We don’t want to just deliver training, we want you to become empowered and smarter around all aspects of performance.  

Community: We believe in team, accountability and community. In the Purple Patch Squad this means:

• Private Purple Patch only communication focusing on the workouts, performance, race reviews, and meet ups.
• Race Center:  Link up with other Purple Patch athletes in the same events as you, learn from others experience at races and arrive to your key events empowered by the experience of all at Purple Patch.
• Race Meet Ups:  The Purple Patch coaches will be present at many of the larger events over the course of the season -- and will be hosting social and educational events for all Squad athletes.
• A selection of training camps available throughout the year led by Matt Dixon and the Purple Patch coaching team.

We don’t see Squad as a chase for a single event, but as a chance to become part of something special.  Performance will arise out of your membership. Our promise:

• You will become a smarter athlete.
• You will improve your performance.
