Brian,
How did you know that was my winter running program for years! You keep giving away all the secrets!!
As I think I said in another thread, it's what many Canadian triathletes do - cycling is hard in the winter, but the running( just base endurance running) is actually pretty good, so it's a good time of the year to lay down the miles, and not just for one month, but for 3 - 4 months. And this is NOT to get ready for a spring marathon!!
Edit: You have also pointed out the one area that if a triathlete is REALLY serious about improving, they will want to improve. Reason: NO ONE is running fast in triathlons these days( In the AG ranks) Even minimal improvements in run fitness wil yield big improvements in place performance in triathlon competition.
