Run Workout Explanation: How To Double

If you’ve never done a double run, you can be missing out on some potential!

Today we are talking about what’s important to consider when attempting a double.

Workout Details:

Pick a day when you have lots of flexibility with your schedule.

Remember, try to leave at least 8 hours between your runs.

Advanced option:

• Easy AM Run, Harder PM Run

Beginner option:

• Harder AM Run, Easy PM Run

Rules for both:

• For the easier run, only run a volume that you are VERY confident with. Think easy shakeout run distance and LET it be easy.

• For the harder run, this can be as simple as a tempo run or even a track workout (for more advanced).

• Total volume for the day should not exceed what you can do for a long run.
