take a chill pill dude.

Keep in mind that everybody is different, our goals are different, and what works for you might not work for the next person.  I, for example, will be increasing my base in each, as I plan on doing longer triathlons next season.  I'm a big believer in over-distance training: to run 10K well, you should be able to run at least 10 miles, etc.

Also, not everyone has the Triathletes Training Bible, and doesn't know about prep, base 1, etc.  As we're beginners here, I think it's probably more appropriate to talk about base building, speed work, and race/peak.

Bingo!  At this point in the season, there is NO need for 2-a-day workouts, unless you're doing a marathon or some such 'A' race.  I, too, have bumped up the weights, but I'm quite content to have a lot of long, slow runs, swims, bikes, etc.

Although once ski season starts, I want long, FAST runs!

That may be true, but I'd rather follow the ski-bunnies down the slopes! 

I had established a base at the beginning of the year for sprint triathlons.  Now that I have done a few of these this year, I plan on doing sprints in May and June, an olympic in July and August and a1/2 IM in September.  In order to do this, I have to start establishing a new base now; if I wait until spring, it will be too late.  Also, if I let myself go too long, I will turn into a big old pud!
