Hi: Just organising my programme for the next 6 weeks (am bringing a regular brick into my schedule that hasn't featured previously) and have the following question. 
These Three sessions need to slot into Tues/Weds/Thurs evenings (follows a low intensity day on monday; and Friday is also low intensity or active-rest). 
60min Easy Run. 
60min Hill-reps Run. 
90min Brick session (either 60/30 or shorter repeats) 
I'm pretty sure I want the easy run in the middle on Weds, but how would you slot together the other two "quality" days? I suspect it doesn't matter at all, but if there's any ideas that i ought to consider it would be good to know. Thanks for any help.

I'd be inclined to conside a tempo as the third run and just throw a real short transition run after any old ride during the week, rather than doing a long slog--if you think about it, you are not running fast at all during the week. The other thing is maybe you could build up to 8 x 100 striders after one of the runs over the course of the cycle? 
This is from an injured runner, so take it at face value. 
I don't think the order is so important without knowing the context of the other workouts and what your weekends look like
