Hi all- So after ITB surgery, I am now at 5 mile running 2-3 times a week, biking twice 25 miles and haven't gotten in the pool but will. My question is this... should I start some speed work or tempo runs or should I just keep at this long slow stuff and increase distance gradually since this is base building. My goals are 2-3 olympic distance and maybe a 1/2 IM next season. I know that once I really start to train you need speed work and tempos with the long distance but does anyone have any thoughts. Thanks so much.
