Fast-Track Triathlete: Balancing a Big Life with Big Performance in Long-Course Triathlon

Developed for busy professionals with demanding schedules, the Fast-Track Triathlete program makes your PR possible in Ironman®, Ironman 70.3®, 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.
