Just curious how you folks who are running 40+mpw while triathlon training (NOT pure run training or heavy run-focus training) structure your weekly mileage? I've been up in this range recently while admittedly spending less time than I should be on the bike, and it looks like 15, 15, 5, 10 for 45mpw, which feels like a lot, but it's definitely working in terms of endurance and run fitness. (I have a running background as a marathoner as well from years ago, so my body can handle it.)
Two 15 mile runs doesn't seem to make much sense. I would run more days. I typically run around 40 normally, here is what mine looks like this.
M 4 easy
T off
W 8 tempo
T 4 easy
F 8-10 interval
S 4 easy
S 12-14
