Brick Workout Gut Training Protocol
Brick workout gut training protocol builds carb tolerance across bike-then-run sessions—raise grams per hour weekly on bricks so race-day fueling survives the run segment.
Brick workout gut training protocol gradually exposes the stomach to race-pace carbs across bike-then-run sessions—start near thirty grams per hour on moderate bricks, add five to ten grams weekly when bloating and urgency stay absent. Bricks matter because running jostles a full gut differently than cycling alone.
Keep fiber low on brick mornings and hydrate with sodium, not plain water overload. One bad brick is data, not proof your plan fails—adjust product type before abandoning fueling.
