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.
