Im new to the concept of triathlon training. I use to be a runner a long time ago and now Im looking to get competitive again. I unfortunately do not have a cycle yet and I was wondering if doing brick workouts at a gym on a bike/treadmill would work. Also, if I’m training for an olympic distance tri, what should my workouts look like?
I’d skip the treadmill and do the run outside. But that will get you at least part way there. Better than not riding at all.
Hi novice tri guy!
I would go read through this and you’ll better understand how to plan your workouts.

As for riding a bike in the gym, that will work for now until you get a bike. Spin classes are also very good. But definitely do some of your riding on the roads.
Good luck!
