As I prepare for the Bintan Olympic triathlon next week my training this Sunday changed to introduce a double brick versus the usual long bike and run. This was an interesting mix and helped me focus on the transition from bike to run.
Unfortunately continued rain from the night before changed my outdoor cycle plans to an indoor turbo session. However there i discovered the pleasure of watching videos on the official IM youtube channel while on my turbo.
Overall it was a good session with reasonable energy levels. Easier than my last week 5 hour long session but probably more helpful to prepare for the Olympic next week!

what is meaning of “Double Brick”?
Hi Ripple! A “Brick” training is when you train with 2 disciplines. e.g. a Run/ Bike brick means doing a run and then doing a bike training. A double brick means doing two rounds of the “brick” i.e. Run -> Bike -> Run -> Bike. Hope that’s helpful!
already got the meaning of “double brick”.
You will be in the race after 4 days, feel excited.
Thanks Ripple!
