Brick Workouts

Last night I rode about 12 miles in one hour and immediately followed this up with a fast hike with a 40 lb pack and trekking poles for about 30 minutes. (I forgot to look at my pedometer to see how far I hiked.)  I believe in the endurance racing world they call this a brick workout.  It is when you train in one discipline and switch to another in the same training session.  So for me last night it was Bike + Hike.  I had little to no pain in my right foot from the (PF), which is good sign.  My doctor told me to take Aleve instead of Ibuprofen.  He said that this would be more effect in helping my (PF).   Tammy and I are planning a fall training of three disciplines for an extended time period, say 3-4 hours. Perhaps Canoeing + Hike + Bike. This is only in the planning stages at the moment.
