Default Brake problem (Bleed them?)

So I just drove my 96 Disco 250 miles home on a maiden voyage and another 100 around town the last few days and the brakes seemed fine.

Was coming home from work and they got REALLY soft and needed to pump them a few times to get them to work... Seemed like a typical sign that the brakes needed to be bled.

But is this common, for the brakes to work fine, then out of nowhere, get soft, or is this a symptom of a larger issue.

Oh, I kind of, sort of, might have used clutch fluid instead of brake fluid to top of the reservoir by mistake when I first got the vehicle. Didn't dawn on me til yesterday that I put clutch fluid instead of brake fluid into my survival bag. When I emptied it to put everything back in my garage, I noticed the blunder. Dumbest move in a while.
