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.

Tuesday Training Plan: 4 weeks to a Faster 1500m with only two 2km sessions per week (25m/50m Pool)
As you follow the programme you will find yourself swimming your 1,500m faster. Now whether that is a PB or not will depend on how fast you have swum in the past, but it will definitely be faster at the end of the 4 weeks than it is now.
With this programme people improve on average nearly 2 minutes, with some people improving by over 10%.
Designed for triathletes who have limited time to train but can squeeze two short 2km sessions in each week. The primary goal of this training plan is to prepare you to swim 1,500m faster than you did at the start of the programme.
