      Not often. Maybe once a month. Not even once during winter training.

      My coach has me doing them at least twice a week.

    I used to do bike-run-bike-run-bike-run-bike-run-bike-run-bike when I was just starting out in triathlon. Those were fun!

    I've done brick workouts at a basic level by going for a 50k ride, coming home, putting on my running shoes and running for 5-6km.
    My experience tends to be that I start off far too fast. And also that my HR goes absolutely CRAZY, like 180-200bpm

    I like to do 80/20 brick workouts. Basically, on the run up to race day/week. I'll do 80% of my bike race distance at 75-80% effort(Target Pace) then transition to 20% run distance of 75-80%(Target Pace). These can be done either indoors or outdoors. I prefer to do them outdoors since I have routes planned that bring me back to my home, so I can drop off my bike then transition to my running section.

    An interesting subject.... Running after biking is kinda strange for the firs mile or so...I just did my first triathlon 70.3 Ironman, and be honest with you, i did maybe 1 or 2 sessions where i biked and ran after wards, felt strange... However, during my IM did not have any issue! Longest ride before IM was 40 miles a week before (course recon)... Finished the whole thing in 5:38... , already signed up for the next year same place, will try to drop under 5 hours!

    I do brick workout twice a week. One is for Bike to run then I also do Run, Bike , Run for duathlon. I do find these advantages. Now, I find the transition to the different activities easier to adapted to. Yes I do the harder efforts but in smaller blocks

      Transitioning between activities more smoothly is such a valuable benefit. Do you have any tips for managing the transitions?

    In the lucky position to have a treadmill and turbo - I always run for at least 2K after a workout on the treadmill. Essential if you want to run with a good run form after the ride in a tri - brick sessions are essential in my view.

    What do you mean by spin? It was 10s fast/50 second spin?

    What’s the difference between a 50 spin and 2 min extra spin?

    If you try to run on the bike then you are obviously doing something wrong 😂😂

    I ride my bike to a track for a 1 mile run every weekday, it's a 2 for 1

    How long can this break in between be to still make sense. I like to do my bike and run outside and without a trisuit. It takes me around 5 min to get off the bike, store it and change. Is that to slow, or still good?

      Shoes feel like someone added weights to them? Feel like you need to walk for a bit to get your heart rate down? Yes? Then you’re good.

      I just took a look through my transitions times for the 3x 70.3 and 3x Olympic distance tri that I've done over the last 2 years. Fastest T2 was 35 sec (I must have made a mistake on the button press on my watch!), next fastest was 2:04 and longest was 9:48. So anything under 10 min seems perfectly realistic imo.
