What is a Brick workout?
A brick is training when you run a training session immediately after the other. For example, you could have a swim then followed on a bicycle or a motorcycle through a drive. There is no particular way you have to do a brick workout. However, the most effective training of a brick that runs the race like you. So more than likely, you are better off, and a bathroom with a motorcycle or a bicycle to carry bricks for the preparation of triathlon training.

Why should brick workouts?
So whyYou should do the training for the triathlon preparation of bricks? I bet you have an idea, but if not I'll answer anyway. Brick workouts are more realistic simulation trips a day to reach you. Brick workouts improve your body for the rigors of swimming and running in step with the bike to bike transition. Brick training, you learn to move quad when you turn to jelly under the wheel. Trust me, if you first set foot on the run from the bike and you'll be happywho practiced more than a couple of times.

Brick workouts help and prepare for the actual transition. You will learn not only how quickly the transition, but also learn the best place for your equipment has been before the race. Because this is a very personal procedure, you must do it alone, so sorted you react instinctively rather than reactionary in the areas of transition.

Last but not least, is another advantage for the training of bricks that you learn tomentally to overcome the pain of transition to the next event. Sure, with enough training, you learn as you go with jelly legs from the bike in race to run, but you have to be mentally ready for the pain. If you know what to expect in every transition, then you will know to push as fast and to what extent during each event. Pacing is incredibly important in a triathlon, and training of bricks helps you identify the best way to treat the individual event.

To begin with the formation of bricks, I recommend just a typical swimming, cycling or running day and then adding other training halfway aft. I began to practice the bike to run transition with a bike 10k through a 2 miles followed. This wasPreparing for my first triathlon and it was fully loaded with all means, but it helped me to start training and form alone.

Try some different routines to see what works for you. As you get closer to race day and the first cone, I recommend a series of building blocks for the formation of strong physically and mentally prepare for your race.
