Tackling TriDot Workouts: Runs off the Bike

About this episode

Coach Matt Sommer discusses effective bike to run workouts and their purposes in triathlon training.

Do you ever wonder why you're doing a certain workout, not just how? This week Coach Matt Sommer joins the podcast to break down some of the most effective workouts to help you train smarter, not just harder. We are tackling bike to run sessions: bike-run bricks, zone 2 runs off the bike, split zone runs off the bike, the longer race rehearsal bricks and more! Coach Matt explains the purpose behind each workout, what systems of the body they target, and how to execute them for maximum benefit. Whether you're aiming to finish the workout or are hunting for the elusive "unicorn," understanding the why behind your TriDot workout might be the edge you've been missing.
