★★★★★ Lays out all the elements needed to succeed and excel at triathlon without compromising the other important things in your life like family, friends and sleep.

In Fast-Track Triathlete, elite triathlon coach Matt Dixon offers his plan of attack for high performance in long-course triathlon--without sacrificing work or life.

Developed for busy professionals with demanding schedules, the Fast-Track Triathlete program makes your PR possible in Ironman(R), Ironman 70.3(R), Rev3, and Challenge triathlon in about 10 hours a week.

Training for long-course triathlons once demanded 15-20 hours each week--on top of work, family, travel and other time commitments. For many, preparing for long-distance triathlon is more challenging than the race itself.

Fast-Track Triathlete opens the door to your best performance in full- and half-distance triathlons in half the traditional training time. Dixon's laser-focused, effective approach to workouts, recovery, strength and mobility, and nutrition means you can prepare for triathlon's greatest challenges in just 7-10 hours per week for half-distance and 10-12 hours per week for full-distance.

Fast-Track Triathlete includes:

- Dixon's complete guide to creating a successful sport and life performance recipe

- How to plan out your triathlon training

- Scaling workouts for time and fatigue

- Training and racing during travel

- Executing your swim-bike-run and transitions plan on race day

- 10-week off-season training program with key workouts

- 14-week pre-season training program with key workouts

- 14-week comprehensive race-prep full and half training plans with fully integrated strength and conditioning

Dixon's first book, The Well-Built Triathlete, revealed his four-tiered approach to success in all triathlon race distances. Fast-Track Triathlete turbocharges Dixon's well-built program so even the busiest athletes can achieve their long-distance triathlon dreams without sacrificing so much to achieve them.
