Gary is probably correct, but it could be that the break pedal linkage 
is too long, not allowing the master cylinder piston enough room to 
uncover the bleed hole in the cylinder. When the break fluid heats up it 
expands, which, if the bleed hole is covered, will slowly apply the 
breaks. Let them cool off and things work fine again.

Peace,
Pat
