Hi Rocky.. i'm a little disappointed that you've found ed's training plan more 'alternative' than mine :(
I don't think either of us have coaches, most triathletes (even pros) don't.
But we are both members of clubs - which can offer cost effective structured training with other experienced triathletes.
There's wealth of training plans out there now, most around a six month time period.
Don Fink's is popular.
The idea behind repeat brick sessions is to make it feel more natural rather waiting for race day. Also running and cycling with fatigued muscles means you have to concentrate on form and the use core/secondary muscles.
Personally I don't agree with it.. Ideally training should only be done on fresh legs to reinforce good technique however in the real world; the days you want to cycle its raining and the days you want to run you an injury; so being able to mix it up is important.
