Twice a week, my training schedule has a morning bike and an evening swim (one hour each). The last couple of weeks, however, I have not been able to make it to the 6:30am bike session (indoors, with my triathlon club). So I have done the bike workout in the evening, on my own, and then I've immediately headed to the pool (in the same building) for the evening swim with my triathlon club.
I know the cons of doing this (too tired to have a quality swim and recovery issues). But are there any good reasons to make this a habit? I am a better swimmer than I am a cyclist, so I tell myself that it's good that at least I'm starting the session with the weaker discipline. And I find that it is a lot more time efficient to get myself to the gym (more of an athletic facility) only once a day (and the extra hour of sleep in the mornings is lovely).
Is anyone else here including unorthodox brick sessions in their training?
