Duathlon Training

Last year I did three duathlons and ranked well in my age group and not horribly overall. I've been cycling longer than running having just picked up running two years ago, and it shows in my standings as I am one of the stronger riders, but fall short on the running legs (no pun intended).

As luck would have it I started a job in a large office complex that has a free gym for building employees, so I've begun running every weekday. Currently I'm doing 30ish minute tempo runs M|W|F and then on T|T I'm doing intervals (5 minute warm up, 5 1x1's, 5 minute cool down).

I'm Zwifting using the workouts in the 4 week FTP builder plan. I've been riding every day except for the Tuesday/Thursday as my evening schedule doesn't allow for it and I figure I can go harder on the HIIT runs without having to worry about riding that evening.

Should I be doing more? Less?

I plan to practice transitions come spring as I know I can shave off at least a minute overall there.
