Designed for swimmers who have a beginner/intermediate level of experience with strength and conditioning and who are looking to develop their strength as they prepare you to COMPLETE YOUR event in 16 weeks’ time.
I’m now in the month of my next race, and I am already feeling like a stronger and faster running from the increase in pace and power I have been using in the past 2 weeks. The pace at first felt less sustainable for a long period of time as I was so used to the old pace, but with the consistent use of the pace it has allowed my body to adapt and feel more efficient at the new pace.

A few years ago Jason Sklenar commented on a Facebook post of mine in an Ironman Training Group putting forward this simple and effective Brick session and variations of it. I wrote it down at the time and filed it away, pulling it out for a couple of my athletes. If you’ve got an hour to spare you can do this Brick session and reap some good aerobic benefits, as well as rehearse your transitions.

For longer distance events such as an Ironman 70.3 (or even an Olympic distance triathlon) spending training time at both threshold and tempo intensity is beneficial, as it is likely that you’ll spend some portion of the cycle leg at these intensities (more time at tempo than threshold). This workout is a great test that gives you a great training stimulus. Don’t attempt this workout unless you are well-rested. Treat this as a race simulation, use your race bike, and practice your nutrition.
