brick

Okay saturday brick workout which is named after some guy named Matt Brick, I forget the rest and most important parts of the story...Anyhow, it's a bike followed immediately by a run, like race simulation.

My problem is I go to bed to early, therefore get up too early, therefore it's still dark and ten degrees when I wake up, and on Saturdays this hurts me because by 6:30 am I am ready to go...So...2 hrs and 15 minutes on bike trainer, by then it was warmer and lighter so I towel off, get into outside running gear and head out for 55 min run, which actually felt good, the bike feels like a prolonged warmup on these days...

The brick workout is becoming my favorite workout, and I don't know if anyone would advise this in the outside world but since is this my own little made up one I can say this. I feel much better in all my workouts when they are back to back. Whether it be a swim/run; swim/bike; bike/run. I guess its just a nutrition thing, and really, it's the running. A swim or a bike before the run primes my system so I know where i'm at when I start the run and how I have to fuel as I am running. When I separate workouts out by 4 or 5 hours I feel like i'm playing roulette with my system....

I bet whoever is reading this (dad) never thought a person could give this much thought to digestion and I am sure that he didn't really want to know, but this is what my life has become, me against my stomach...how sad..
