"Brick" workouts are a term used in the triathlon community to describe training sessions wherein you do, say, a hard bike session followed immediately by a running session. The purpose is to simulate the transition between the two and familiarize yourself with it physiologically and psychologically.
Yesterday I did my version of a "brick" as I played 9 games of singles squash followed closely by a sprint training session on the track.
The sprint session was an acceleration ladder of: 10-20-30-40-50 yd. sprints w/walk back for recovery. 2.5 minute rest. Then, repeat for a total of 10 sprints.
It was a good session and fun and something different for variety which is almost always a good thing esp. when you've been training for as many years of I have been training.
Train hard and train smart!
