Humble SLF here, wondering if there's a general rule about speed/autothrottle in a runaway stabiliser situation?

The emergency AD issued by the FAA doesn't appear to say anything about speed. Is this just a matter of common sense among pilots, or would the PF have felt that it was sensible to keep the speed high to counter nose-down and hopefully gain altitude? Did he disobey the AD?
