Dave Scott's Brick

Monday Brick: Dave Scott’s Advanced HFH Brick #1

Brick sessions are a great training session to help develop the neuromuscular system to prepare you for future events (as well as future training sessions). Not only that but you will get a great physiological training stimulus. This session includes a number of VO2 max intensity efforts to stimulate your top end speed, as well as a mile at tempo effort at the end which will help you run qwikly off the bike. This session is a great session for anyone preparing for an Ironman 70.3 or a full Ironman.

Monday Brick: Mike Ricci’s Ultimate Full-Distance Triathlon Brick Workout

Brick sessions develop your ability to complete multiple disciplines in a single event. Transitioning from one discipline to another requires a number of different things to occur in the body but a key transition is in the blood flow from the cycling muscles to the running muscles. For a swim to bike transition, you also go from a horizontal position to a vertical position with a corresponding increase in blood pressure to ensure the blood can easily get to the brain. This workout is a great race simulation that is perfectly aligned for Ironman 70.3 and Ironman athletes preparing for a key race.

Saturday Swim Session: Lance Watson’s Ironman 70.3 Taper Swim

A common problem for triathletes is doing too much volume in the final lead up to an event. It is important to taper off your training prior to an event so you don’t arrive at the state line carrying residual fatigue. Within this session are aspects that simulate a triathlon or open water swim race with the increased pace at the start, and the over kick towards the end of the session, simulating the final push towards the swim exit. This session will benefit triathletes of all distances, particularly Ironman 70.3 and Olympic distance triathletes, as well as other open-water swimmers in the final couple of weeks prior to their event.

Monday Brick: Lionel Sanders’ Pre Ironman 70.3 Mont-Tremblant Brick Session

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.
