Purplepatch Fitness

Set your Marathon or Half Marathon PR with purplepatch

The purplepatch running programs were custom developed by purplepatch's premier Pro Endurance Coach Matt Dixon. They incorporate the same principles and philosophy used in guiding Ryan Hall towards the fastest Marathon performance by an American at the Boston 2011 marathon.

Until now you had to be one of our private one to one clients to get these comprehensive training plans and strategies, but with our new digital platforms we’re now able to make them available to you.

More than a workout plan:
As with every purplepatch training program, we want to go 'on your training journey with you', and so we designed a platform to support you throughout your training. You will gain access to most of the same training resources and education our pro athletes and private clients receive, as we want you to not only race faster, but become empowered to become a smarter athlete overall.

In addition to the specific progressive workouts based on your race distance and ability level, you ALSO get:

• Marathon or 1/2 Marathon Training Program Guide
  • In this comprehensive guide, we’ll give you an overview of all the essential information and strategies you’ll need to get the most out of the program.
• Benchmark Testing Guide
  • We will help track your performance to keep you honest in your training.  This guide allows you to gain key performance metrics to assess your improvements and adjust your training.
• Nutrition and Fueling Guide
  • We have yet to meet an endurance athletes that is properly fueling themselves. In this guide we'll show you some simple strategies on proper fueling, hydration and nutritional approaches  to optimize performance, speed up recovery, avoid GI issues and improve body composition.
• Recovery Guide
  • It sounds simplistic, but effective training is always balanced with integrated recovery to allow maximal gains.  In this educational guide we discuss how we think about recovery, why is is important, and how to judge if you are ready for hard training. We know raising the importance of recovery is not a short-cut to success, but it is a path to optimal performance.
