Swim, bike, run sessions combine the core triathlon disciplines into one multisport endurance effort. The activity type is useful for tracking brick sessions, race simulations, or full multisport workouts. Because each discipline stresses the body differently, the total load can be higher than any single segment suggests.

Calorie Burn
Estimated active Calories per 30 minutes of exercise for the MET range 6 - 13. Active Calories exclude the energy your body would use at rest.
| Body weight | Estimated active Calories / 30min |
|---|---|
| 50 kg (110 lb) | 131 - 315 Cal |
| 60 kg (132 lb) | 158 - 378 Cal |
| 70 kg (154 lb) | 184 - 441 Cal |
| 80 kg (176 lb) | 210 - 504 Cal |
| 90 kg (198 lb) | 236 - 567 Cal |
| 100 kg (220 lb) | 263 - 630 Cal |
Actual energy use varies with intensity, fitness, movement efficiency, and individual physiology. Learn more in the "How to Estimate Calories Burned with MET Values" resource.
Training advice
Benefits
Swim, bike, run sessions build broad endurance by combining three complementary movement patterns. They are valuable for brick workouts, race simulation, and understanding how fatigue transfers between disciplines.
What to watch out for
Transitions can hide mounting fatigue. Plan hydration, fueling, traffic or water safety, and recovery in advance, and keep the session controlled unless it is intentionally a race-specific effort.
