I love brick workouts. Sounds all technical but they really are what they sound like. 'Bricks' are used in tri training to describe workouts that make your legs feel like bricks afterwards. Try swimming a mile after a long run and see what I mean. Or riding a bike just after a hard run. Or climbing stairs after a run and vice versa - you get the point.
I usually love running after a difficult stair session - the legs feel heavy but you feel so accoplished afterwards. This morning I did a running and stair brick and it felt great. 300 stair sprints, followed by a 21 minute 5k, followed by 70 stair sprints again.
I want to be back to doing an hour of stairs followed by a 9 miler immediately. Now *that* is a test of endurance. Someday Someday :-)
