Currently a DIII cross country/track and field athlete. Just bumped my mileage up to a consistent 85-90 mpw for the outdoor season. My body feels adjusted, but I have been doubling a lot of runs to hit this mileage. Max double when I do is four miles. Would this take away from summer training going into cross? Should I keep my runs to just singles or hit doubles to get my 85-90 mpw? #GoYanks
On Jan 1, I bumped my mileage from 75-80 to 95-100 by adding in 4 doubles each week. I kept everything else the same, but I had been running singles for years up to that point. I just do an easy 4.5 on Mo, Tu, Th, F. I have seen some noticeable improvements and feel great.

Double every day if you can, except perhaps on days that you run very long.
