I run the 800, 1600 and 3200 (HS) and my week currently looks like:
Sun: 6 miles
Mon: 3 mi AM, speed workout ~5mi PM
Tue: 4 mi AM, 7 mi easy PM
Wed: 3 mi AM, 6 mi easy PM
Thu: Track Meet or tempo workout ~6 mi PM
Fri: 6 mi easy or rest if racing
Sat: Track Meet or 10-12mi long run
Would I get more benefit if I ran this same mileage but in singles? Basically cutting out all the doubles like so:
Sun: 6 miles
Mon: speed workout (longer?) ~8 mi
Tue: 11 mi
Wed: 9 mi
Thu: Track Meet or tempo workout ~6 mi
Fri: 6 mi or rest if racing
Sat: Track Meet or 10-12mi
I’d like to start lifting or swimming in the mornings, which is why I want to cut out the doubles. Come competition time in a month, I think it’d also be beneficial to sleep that extra hour in the morning and getting a better, longer run in the PM.
Thoughts or suggestions?
