All cyclists need leg strength, it is after all what allows us to pedal with a large amount of force and which is a key component to developing power. This workout is great at developing leg strength through an accumulation of time at a low cadence and moderate to high workload. This is interspaced with high-intensity efforts, just to keep you on your toes.

Stamina and Endurance are essential for a number of reasons. If you are a triathlete or open water swimmer this is useful for the duration of your event. But more so if you are a Master’s Swimmer targeting a shorter pool based event is that it provides the base fitness on which to build your speed as part of a periodised swimming plan. This session is great for master’s swimmers.

Running in hills develops leg strength as well as the strength of the tendons and ligaments around the knee and ankle. Developing leg strength is important, as it makes for a more powerful contraction of the leg muscles to propel you forward faster. Including hills regularly, particularly early in your build-up will see great dividends in the improvement of your running. This workout is great to include early in your build-up to develop leg strength.

Designed for Beginner and intermediate triathletes and swimmers who are looking to improve their swimming fitness.
This week has been different to usual as I wasn’t running as I had gained a foot injury the day after my recent 5km time trial. I made sure to look after it as I knew if I keep pushing through I wouldn’t heal as fast making it worse in the long run.

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.
