Why Brick Sessions Teach Your Legs How to Run

Brick sessions are one of the most valuable workouts in triathlon training. Learn why running immediately after cycling helps your body adapt, improves your bike-to-run transition, builds confidence for race day, and teaches your legs to run more efficiently when it matters most.

Monday’s Brick: Dermott Hayes Speed Brick #4

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.

Monday’s Brick: Coach Ray’s Ironman 70.3 Tempo Brick #13

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.
