I'm a freshman in high school running about 40 mpw running 7 days per week. Do you think it would be a bad idea to add an additional few 2-3 mile morning easy runs to my weekly schedule? If you think it would be beneficial, what days should I add them to, workout days or distance days? |

Start running 2-3 miles every morning. Once that feels comfortable, bump it up to 4-5. Eventually, you should aim to run 25 miles every morning. Once that feels comfortable start waking up at midnight and doing a third run. Get up to at least 10 miles. This in addition to your afternoon workout of course. On the weekends, go for a long run. Pack a sandwich in your shorts and run to a destination that is far away -a lake, a mountain, a river, whatever. Run there have your sandwich and then run back. Once you get these runs up to 88 miles you will be in good shape. |

As long as you're still getting enough sleep, running in the morning can only help. It might be more beneficial to do it the day after a workout, but really it should be whenever you feel up for it. |

It'd be way better for you just to run more in singles. There's no reason you can't average over 5.5mi/run. |

Add the morning runs whenever you can. Keep the pace easy and your body will adjust quickly. |

Some reading homework. Science behind doing doubles over singles http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=4318634 100 mpw in singles or doubles? http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=3965743 (I know you aren't running 100mpw but it is still a good thread) |
