What's better 74 miles per week in singles running 6 days a week or doubles 7 days a week?
I'm thinking of doing it something like this
16 10 14 10 14 10 off
It'll all been on grass with about 1/3 of it on hills.

How would you do it if you did doubles?

How about this...
mon--8 miles and strides(8x100s)
tues--5 am/7 pm
wed-- 10 miles
thurs--9 miles(quality day here--tempo/fartlek/reps)
fri--5 am/7 pm
sat--long run 15 miles
sun--easy 6-7 miles
you got some medium runs in there, some short, and your long run on saturday...depending on what phase you are in, you incorporate things in every 3-4 weeks that will ready you for racing and training hard.
I think it depends what you're training for...
If you're training for an 800m or 1500m, you probably don't need to do too many 13+ mile single runs. If you're a 5km-10km guy or longer, you're going to get great benefits from those longer runs.

I don't mean to sound arrogant, but do you think running for like 6 to 13 minutes will do a whole lot of good? I generally scoff when someone uses the phrase "junk miles," but serisouly, one or two mile runs are worthless because they really aren't long enough for your body to react to it other than raise your heart rate or break into a sweat.
I personally like doubling and deffinitely think it is the way to go - more mileage while being less taxing on your body. If you are going to double, make it a minimum of three miles. After a short while, you'll realize a three mile supplimentary run isn't too hard, and you could feasibly do one everyday (minus long run days) without it affecting your primary run.
ya he meant it as a joke, duh.
