Each Monday I’ll post a Brick session that you can do to enhance your triathlon and multisport performance.
Matt Mcelroy is an elite, American triathlete with a dozen podiums at World Cup events and a silver medal at the Pan Am Games. This Brick session forces you to focus on both the speed of the transition and the speed out of T2 to start the run well. This session is great for sprint and Olympic distance triathletes.

Lionel Sanders is a top tier Ironman and Ironman 70.3 athlete. He has won the ITU Long Course World Championships, four Ironman titles (as well as two podium finishes at the World Champs), and 31 Ironman 70.3 titles. He is well known for his solid indoor training sessions and for being his own most harshest critic, as well as sharing it all on his social media. This brick workout he has done a week and a half out from Ironman 70.3 Mont-Tremblant. However, for recreational athletes I’d recommend this is done 3-8 weeks out from your key event.
