For years people have been lemmings and following traditional bike / run training session. Let me fill you in on a little tip. I coach 10 Ironman AG 1st place finishers and I’ve only been coaching 18 months. Here’s my secret released for the first time.
I’d like others to try it and try to deny it doesn’t work. http://daveallencoaching.blogspot.ca/2014/06/brick-training.html
You have 10 athletes that are champions of the 104.6 distance?
No, they are full 140.6 distance. I just love listening to 104.6 on the radio.
This isn’t even a funny troll.
I made a mistake when I set up my email.
Backdoor advertising?
I think another coach that’s a member on here has his athletes do this type of workout on occasion. I’t a moderate reward, high risk workout that will generate a lot of fatigue I suspect. Probably not bad idea in a earlier base or build period in case you get injured from it… but crazy in the last 8 weeks. But that’s just me.
I’d rather just schedule another sprint race.
Personally I have trouble with running too fast out of T2. I have to consciously slow myself down. I don’t see how this will realistically help me when I get to mile 7 in a 70.3 or mile 16 or 20 in a full IM. Overall fitness and energy management are what will get me to the end.
I’m almost always running on fatigued legs since I usually have a run in the evening after biking 14-16 hours earlier that morning. Rinse and repeat 8-10 hours later… toss a swim in the middle.
Hell my life since Jan. has been one endless brick session.
…I usually have a run in the evening after biking 14-16 hours earlier that morning…
I admit I had to read this several times before the real meaning sunk in. That’s a lot of biking.

Do you really think others don’t or haven’t done this?
