Mastering the Brick: Your Guide to Seamless Bike-to-Run Transitions

Uncategorised

In the world of multisport, the race isn’t just about the swim, bike, and run—it’s also about what happens between them. The transition from cycling to running, often called a “brick,” is a notorious challenge. Your legs can feel like jelly, and your body has to quickly adapt to a new set of mechanics.

To conquer the brick, you need to practice it. Incorporate brick workouts into your training plan by doing a short run (10-15 minutes) immediately after a bike ride. This trains your body to handle the physiological shift and helps you find your running rhythm faster on race day. Focus on a quick cadence and good form right out of T2. With consistent practice, you’ll turn this potential weakness into a powerful advantage.
