    I'm a highschool junior who has started doubling once or twice a week, and I think they are working pretty well. I do my doubles on workout days, as I usually have 3 a week, or 2+ a race.

    Over the summer I only do 2 workouts per week (the fartlek isnt a real workout, just a normal long run with a pickup on the hilly segments I have been trying out) so I was wondering which day I should throw in a third or fourth double. Heres a sample week. I've been thinking wednesday or saturday but I might just go whenever I feel good.

    Sunday:75-85
    Monday:30-50
    Tuesday:2x2mile w/1.5 min rest
    Wednesday:60-70
    Thursday:barefoot run easy 30
    Friday:8x 1k with 150 meter jog
    Saturday:10+ easy fartlek+10

    Also I should state I never cut into my regular runs with a double, as in If im supposed to run for an hour, I will run for an hour whether I double or not. I usually just do an easy 20-25 on grass or trails, so not enough to detract from a run.

    double every day for the first 40 days of summer with a 17-20 minute shakeout and a couple light strides after. literally every day, 7 days a week. so if you have an "off" day, just do the 17-20 min shakeout and that's it. if you can space your shakeout and main workout by 8-12 hours that's ideal, just for reference.

    Looks good honestly.

    I don’t think there’s any significant practical application to the barefoot part though
