I did a pseudo-brick the other day at my gym after work. Usually I just run but that day I was feeling frisky, so I decided to spin for about 30 minutes at a high intensity. I put in one longish hill climb in there to mix it up, then went directly to the treadmill (after wiping the bike, of course!) where I ran for about 25 minutes. My legs felt pretty bad at the beginning, but I started off slow and eased up to my usual pace. I felt pretty great around the first mile, but after that it all went down hill and I was panting and puffing by the end. But I finished the amount of time I had set as a goal... went directly to my abs class and then from there to my rock gym.

I think all that working out really had an effect though, because at the rock gym I was doing a usual training exercise and I tweaked a thigh muscle, so I think I had just overdone it a bit.

I'm hoping to do a few more of those, and definitely some outdoor ones on the nicer days, after the hols!
