I race mostly oly distance. Long rides in the 40-50 mile range. Lots of 30 mile race effort rides. I run quite a bit as I like it, but I don't see the need for anything longer than a 10 mile training run for oly distance. The most important runs are the tempo runs, and mile repeats, they make you strong for the 10k. Swimming is important in this distance IMHO. A good swim rewards you more at the oly distance more than any of the longer events.

Congratulations on your baby boy. I have a 7 month old so I am in the same boat. Actually, 10 hours a week is a hopeful goal for me. Even though I am in SoCal I had to resort to putting my old bike on a trainer in the living room. I have my alarm set for 5 so I can get about an hour in before our baby wakes up. I usually take the baby for about 1.5 hours in the morning to give my wife some uninturupted sleep.

A majority of my runs happen behind a stoller. I am usually only doing about 6 miles with the stroller so I haven't run into issues with feeding him or me.

good luck!

Thanks a lot for the great info, and slowx3 your boy is way cute!! I've been jogging with my boy in my BOB jogger, and riding on the Kurt Kinetic in the morning, and hitting the pool about 2 x week.

All the best to everyone this race season!!
