Each Monday I’ll post a Brick session that you can do to enhance your triathlon and multisport performance.
Coach Ray’s Ironman 70.3 Threshold Brick C is a high-value brick session designed to raise your threshold and make race pace feel more sustainable. With structured Level IV intervals on both the bike and run, this workout builds long-course durability, improves efficiency, and helps you race faster for the same effort.

Although you are unlikely to race an Ironman 70.3 or Ironman at Threshold intensity (by definition it is impossible). Training sessions can use Threshold intensity to build you fitness, and in the same method as a rising tide lifts all ships an increase in your threshold intensity will also lift your overall fitness allowing you to race at a faster pace or higher intensity; or at the same pace or power for less effort. This is a perfect session for triathletes competing in Ironman and Ironman 70.3 distance events.

Higher intensity efforts within brick sessions can develop your efficiency in transitions. Not only do you need to practice getting changed and staying calm whilst the heart rate is elevated; you also practice running or cycling hard after the transition. This is a perfect session for triathletes and duathletes competing in Olympic or Sprint distance events.

Tempo is an intensity that means different things to different athletes and coaches. For me, I define Tempo as an effort comfortably below the Threshold pace. It is the sort of intensity that is typically maintained during fast Ironman 70.3 events. It is higher than the aerobic effort of long steady workouts, sort of in the mid-zone between the aerobic and threshold efforts. Spending more than 15-20 minutes at this intensity, helps the body practice clearing the small amount of lactic acid generated at this pace, without needing to slow down to do so. This is a perfect session for triathletes competing in Ironman and Ironman 70.3 distance events.
