One of the fastest growing sports today is triathlon. It entails swimming, cycling and running in one sporting event. The distance will vary but the Ironman, the most popular triathlon race, has a 3.8k swim followed by a 180k bike and a 42k run (a full marathon) done in less than a day. To be able to do this, triathletes train for years, 6 days a week, year round. To avoid the rut of training year round, triathletes do short intense workout routines regularly.
Short intense workout routines are needed to bring you to another fitness level. Often this will be an interval workout or a short brick (two sports done consecutively usually bike and run) done at race pace. These workouts are intended to simulate racing conditions. By doing these workouts regularly, your body will get use to race conditions. A common saying in triathlon is form under fatigue. This is the purpose of intense workouts.
