is the time interval during a run to bike brick or bike to run or swim to run or any combination thereof, that it ceases to be a brick, but is simply a run followed by a bike or..etc?

so not sure its any advantage,
oh god! i must be getting old !
The reason I posed the question is that a lot of my training combines disciplines, but not designed to be brick sessions. for example this morning I ran 10 mins to the pool, gap of 5-10 changing, exchanging pleasantries etc swim 45 mins, 5-10 shower change & 10 min run home. When I teach spinning I run to work, 20 mins, 10-15mins set up 45 min class, 5-10 breakdown & change 20 mins run home, so in both cases I get the run whilst fatigued (a little, depending on session) effects, but not the continuous 'short transition' type activity.
maybe. But then possibly so is everybody else bud
Q: has anyone a reference to any definitive study/resource that shows that bricks are of definite advantage?
By this I do not include (WADR) Joe Beer/Joe Friel/Don Fink saying "they are good" unless their claim is backed up by a bibliographical reference to some study/paper (in which case THAT is what I would be interested in).

(I know nowt of tri, being a rookie, but I used the same principle LOTS in Kayak coaching!)
no matter at what level they are useful. In my lack of knowledge, I would say that its self satisfying when you complete a brick session. A bit of self achievement.
