After battling a slight case of patellar tendinitis I'm finally coming back to feel normal. I'm racing Gulf Coast 70.3 and my bike and swim are on par, but my run took a huge hit, both volume and intensity. I've cut my mileage by half (from 40-45 mpw w/ some speed work) to 20-30 (with a little tempo work). I haven't done a proper long run in 2 months—the longest run being about 12 miles. I'm generally running 5-6 times a week.
How to I approach this last block? Should I focus on getting over the 50mpw volume consistently or stick to 35-40-ish mpw with more intensity (with the idea being 5k-10k style speed work)?
I did my first half-iron distance and had to walk-run due to nutritional issues/over-biking (ended up @ 1:49, but I'm confident I can go sub-1:35 on a flat course). My training was predominately volume-focused at 50+mpw for that race.
