The term 'brick workout' seems to usually refer to the bike/ run combo. Is that because it is easier in general jump from bike to run vs swim to bike?
One of my favorite aspects of triathlon, when I have the time to do so, is pulling off the swim/bike/run over the course of a day. Swim at 10 am, bike at 2pm and run at 4pm or something like that. I rarely jump straight from bike to run it seems. I like to run and then spin the legs out on bike. It feels way better with low impact but is it counter productive in the long run?
And a lot of the time I can spit out a hard 30 min run after work but have to wait until 9pm to jump on Zwift anyway after the kids are in bed.
How often you guys hit the triple header in a week? It seems like in reality you should be doing all three in a row all the time...?
Yesterday I swam 30 min (1600) then ran a steady 15 mile all in Z2 with 20 min 5k tacked on the end. Then 2 hour Zwift all at 2 w/kg with hard effort (4w/kg) on the last 5 switchbacks of ADZ. Told my self today was a rest day but now I'm jonesing... I might be an addict.
Oh and I thought of a hack some of you might be interested in ;)
True or False? If you work out late at night it is better because you can go to sleep right away and recover better. Vs working out in am and then have to be on feet all day.
