I’m primarily a fell runner (and sea kayaker) but I do an occasional triathlon for fun and don’t take it too seriously. I find the shift in emphasis keeps my training fresh and provides some good active recovery. As suggested above I’ll combine runs with a bike ride to my starting point or ride to a loch or the sea to swim.
I’m happy to admit I’m not troubling the leaders in any of my activities but if your primary aims are personal enjoyment and satisfaction (while performing to a standard that is acceptable if perhaps challenging to you personally) then just enjoy whatever you want to do.

Thanks, a good point to bear in mind but most of my long sessions are in the hills so there’s a lot of variation in ground and stride length etc, so hopefully repetitive strain issues should be less likely. My target events are all in the region of 6-18 hrs, so I really do feel I need some good long days out.

Thanks very much for your reply Scott, I’ll gradually build up time spent at the top of Z2 until I get my Aet up another 10bpm or so which should put it about 10% below LT. I’m quite happy to do longer than 2hrs at that intensity and will extend that as well.
Cheers.
