I run 50 miles per week right now. Would there be any benefit to my racing and fitness if I throw in say 3 doubles per week at a very slow 9:00-10:00/mi pace just 1-3 miles? Or is it not worth it. I race 5k primarily, 16:30 pr

there'd be a little benefit. Why so slow though? Most likely you'll get bored and pick the pace up. When I was around your level, 8 min pace felt like such an easy jog and anything slower than that was almost painful to do.

On the contrary there could be huge benefit.
