Alex Yee’s BIG Brick Session (Paris Olympics Training)

Monday’s Brick: Alex Yee’s BIG Brick Session (Paris Olympics Training)

Draft legal Olympic distance triathlons require athletes to compete at a range of intensities, especially on the bike where there can be high intensity sprints to get into bunches and solid efforts to close a gap – as well as sections of the ride that are a cruise settled into a bunch playing a tactical race. This session has all of that, and then launches into an intense run to get your legs firing into a frenetic pace at the start of the run.

Monday’s Brick: Coach Ray’s Ironman 70.3 Tempo Brick #8

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.

William Ritter's 70.3 Brick

Monday’s Brick: William Ritter’s 70.3 Brick

An Ironman 70.3 event needs you to sustain an intensity that you can maintain for a longer duration than you can for Threshold. That’s why this session has reps at Level III (Tempo) to prepare you for your Ironman 70.3. Although this workout is targeted to Ironman 70.3 athletes, it is also great for full Ironman athletes too.
