What purplepatch Means

I had heard a lot of Matt Dixon and the purplepatch philosophy over the past few years and I was drawn to Matt’s theory of balance, proper recovery, nutrition and functional strength… all necessary to keep you performing at your best, whilst maintaining your health and enjoying the sport for the long term.   This, along with my relentless mission to run faster made Matt my first choice when looking for a coach. Matt takes the time to get to know his athletes figuring out what training suits them, ensuring the best approach is taken for the athlete. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to train with Purple Patch, and excited for the times ahead.
