Phil Mosley's Olympic Distance Speed Brick
Brick Sessions, April 14, 2025
A brick session is a great way to develop your body for the rigours of transitioning from one discipline to the next. This session is excellent for Sprint & Olympic distance triathletes.
For a full understanding of my Level's intensity system, please read my previous articles about intensity for cycling and running.
This workout comes from an article Phil Mosley the Head Coach and Founder of My Pro Coach, wrote for his website. You can read the article here.
