At what point would you say one should go from singles to doubles? For me for example, it'd be easier to go from 8 miles a day on average, to dropping to 7/day with 3 miles per second run most days of the week, than to go up to 9/day. I like doubles because it makes me recover faster between runs, so another alternative maybe would be to double like above for a few weeks, then go back to heavier singles once my body recovers faster?
9 > 7/3
Depends on what you're training for. If you're doing shorter stuff, then you should start doubling sooner. You can keep your pace higher on most of your runs that way without trashing your legs. There's nothing wrong with a 50/50 split on your doubles if you're in this category.
If you're a distance guy, then it's important to have those longer runs, so you don't want to start chopping them up until your mileage is getting pretty high.

Not always true.
don't need to double til you get past 60-70, maybe 75 tops. At 80+ you NEED to be doubling.

Sure, but 7 + 3 > 9

agree. i don't see how anyone can think 9 is greater than ~ 2.33
to the OP, you start doubling when you have the time in your day to do so. it's not a mileage thing as "austin18" is suggesting.
