Monday's Brick: Coach Ray's Ironman 70.3 Tempo Brick #4

Monday’s Brick: Coach Ray’s Ironman 70.3 Tempo Brick #4

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 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.

Monday’s Brick: Dave Scott’s Ironman “Duathlon” Brick A

Dave Scott likes to use the standard duathlon for long bricks. by dividing the run into two segments makes it a little easier on the body. This session is great for early season Ironman athletes as they build into their biggest weeks.

Brick sessions are a great training session to help develop the your familiarity both mentally and physically of transitioning from bike to run. This session from a Ironman pro Joe Skipper is fantastic for building in fast biking and running off the bike in preparation for an Ironman (but also beneficial for Ironman 70.3 preparation).
